Deploying custom images

This page describes support for custom images of IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration components.

Support for custom images

Where the unmodified container images shipped with IBM Cloud Pak for Integration are used, IBM supports the image itself. Following normal container practices, it is possible to extend the container images for instances. If extended images are used, then it is the original image that is supported, rather than the extended new image. As such it is necessary to demonstrate that issues raised are within the original image specifically. Any issues with the customization will not be supported.

Custom images can be deployed, however the Platform UI only detects Cloud Pak for Integration versions of the products.

There are some specific exceptions to this general policy. Certain of the products define procedures for extending the images that are supported.

If Queue manager container images are extended as documented at IBM MQ Queue Manager containers then the original functionality of the image is supported.
Custom images for Enterprise gateway can be created by following the directions in the DataPower documentation.
