IBM Enterprise Application Runtimes supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud deployments. Depending on which edition you have, you can choose from a variety of Red Hat Runtimes or from the traditional or Liberty runtimes of WebSphere Application Server.

Red Hat Runtimes provides cloud-native runtimes, frameworks, fast-data access, and high-performance messaging in flexible, easy to use, open, and collaborative ways. The various offerings includes Quarkus, Eclipse Vert.x, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Node.js, and Spring Boot. Optimized for Red Hat OpenShift, they can accelerate your development and delivery of business applications.

WebSphere Application Server, with its traditional and Liberty runtimes, offers production-ready, standards-based compliance to support the Application Modernization strategies that underpin business transformation. More features and enhancements to WebSphere Application Server offer an ideal infrastructure that is well-suited for enterprise IT, upon which businesses can deliver composable applications and enhancements to help operational modernization.

Converging the operational models of traditional WebSphere Application Server and Kubernetes takes advantage of Kubernetes platform services, such as logging and monitoring. This helps to enable secure, flexible, and efficient access to internal or external software components and services. These enhancements ease integration of WebSphere runtimes in the DevOps workflows to provide continuous integration and continuous delivery to container-based Kubernetes environments such as IBM Cloud.
