App Connect Professional Docker container
Docker containers help you integrate and deploy solutions on different platforms, and enable you to overcome the need for a physical appliance or VMWare instance.
IBM App Connect Professional supports Docker and can be installed as a stand-alone Docker container or in a Kubernetes cluster. There are two ways in which you can launch App Connect Professional in a Docker container:
- Use the App Connect Professional Docker image running on Ubuntu 16.04 that is provided by IBM (7.5.3.0-WS-ACP-
_64-builtDockerImage.tar) - Build your own Docker image by using App Connect Professional software (7.5.3.0-WS-ACP-
_64-docker.tar.gz), then customizing it
Tip
For a step-by-step walkthrough of using the App Connect Professional Docker image, see the blog post IBM App Connect Professional: Docker introduction. That blog post includes information about downloading or building the Docker image, loading the image, launching the container, and checking the status of the container and accessing the Web Management Console.
