Installing by using containerized deployment
Accelerated deployment of the Product Master ensures a simple and consistent installation experience. Use accelerated deployment when you need to deploy a standard installation image consistently and quickly.
Product Master container images are consistent, predictable, and replicable. They enable complete control over the environment in which the services run.
During deployment, third-party images for Elasticsearch, Hazelcast, MongoDB, and IBM® Message Queue are also installed.
The Product Master container images are operator-based and built on the following Docker image that runs on all Docker supported hosts.
- Fix Pack 12 and laterRed Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 9.4 Universal Base Image (UBI) base Docker image
- Fix Pack 11 and laterRed Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.3 Universal Base Image (UBI) base Docker image
- Fix Pack 10 and earlierRed Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 Universal Base Image (UBI) base Docker image
Product Master supports Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) deployment on the following platforms,
- Fix Pack 4 and laterRed Hat OpenShift®
- Fix Pack 3 and laterKubernetes
