Deploying Component Products

Deploying active instances of component products allows you to use the functionality of those components within IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration.

A user with the role Integration Specialist can deploy components from the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Platform Navigator, or by using the Red Hat OpenShift web console or CLI.

There are two categories of component products in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration that can be deployed, capabilities and runtimes.

Capabilities provide tools for designing and managing some types of integration instances. API Connect, App Connect, Tracing, and Asset Repository are all capabilities.

Create capabilities

Runtimes and instances are the runtime components of your integration solution. Aspera HSTS, DataPower Gateway, Event Streams, and MQ are all runtimes and instances.

After a capability or runtime is deployed it appears in a resources table.
