About Deploy Anywhere Integrations
Deploy anywhere integrations are platform agnostic integrations. You can deploy these integrations anywhere, whether it be in the default cloud runtime that runs on your cloud tenant. Or in an edge runtime running in your own private cloud or data center.
You can create deploy anywhere integrations in one of the following approaches:
- Integrations using Packages - You can import your existing webMethods packages to your regular workflows or flow services and run from any integration runtime. See Packages.
- Deploy Anywhere Flow Services - You can create new flow services using the deploy anywhere options in the Flow Editor and orchestrate them through workflows. In the deploy anywhere flow services too, you can reuse webMethods packages. See Deploy Anywhere Flow Services.
The difference between the two approaches is as follows,
| Integrations using Packages | Deploy Anywhere Flow Services |
|---|---|
| Available by default for the tenants with the Develop Anywhere, Deploy Anywhere capability. | Not available by default for tenants even with the Develop Anywhere, Deploy Anywhere capability. You need to contact IBM® support to get the feature enabled. |

| Supports all predefined connectors. | Supports the Database connector only. |
