Installing Sterling Order Management System Software by using Sterling Order Management System Software Operator

An Operator is a custom Kubernetes controller that uses Custom Resources (CRs) to manage applications and their components. High-level configuration and settings are provided by the user within a CR. The Kubernetes Operator translates the high-level directives into the low level actions, based on best practices embedded within the operator’s logic.

The IBM® Sterling Order Management System Software Operator follows the Kubernetes Operator paradigm to simplify management of Sterling Order Management System Software ecosystem by using purpose-driven Custom Resources (CRs). A primary CR named OMEnvironment is introduced to act as a single window of configuration for setting up an Sterling Order Management System Software ecosystem. All the necessary configurations such as images, storage, database, network policy, jvm parameters, customer overrides, and more are accepted through the OMEnvironment CR to setup a fully functional integrated Sterling Order Management System Software environment.
