Deploy to Red Hat OpenShift

The Financial Transaction Manager offerings on Red Hat® OpenShift® are provided as operators that are installed and deployed on Red Hat OpenShift.

An operator is a method of packaging, deploying, and managing a Kubernetes application. It can be used to create, configure, and manage instances of complex applications on behalf of a Kubernetes user. An operator also has domain or application-specific knowledge to automate the entire lifecycle of the software it manages. For example, operators always track the state of an application and can return it to a known state when a pod unexpectedly stops running.

The following table shows the operators that need to be installed on Red Hat OpenShift for each of the FTM offerings.
