Understanding Liberty administered from WebSphere (MoRE)

Liberty administered from WebSphere (MoRE) is a runtime extension for WebSphere Application Server that allows you to deploy applications to a Liberty server running in a WebSphere ND cell. This allows you to have a unified administrative process for deploying and maintaining applications while giving access to the capabilities of Liberty that are not available in the WebSphere Application Server.

A full description of this offering can be found in the MoRE documentation.
