Preparing capabilities

Each capability that you want to install must be prepared for before you apply your custom resource.

About this task

Preparing a capability can involve many steps and more often than not involves setting up persistence and taking measures to secure the containers.

Important: You must take note of the capabilities and the optional components that you plan to install. Many capabilities include components from other patterns, so you must search for and use the preparing tasks under these capability headings to make sure that your installation is successful. For more information, see Capabilities for Enterprise deployments.

For example, the Document Processing capability includes components from the document_processing pattern, but also includes options from the foundation pattern, and the content pattern. To prepare all of the components that you want to include in a deployment with Document Processing, review the steps in all of the following sections.

The following table summarizes the requirements that are needed for each capability.
