Deploy to the cloud

We can deploy MobileFirst applications to the cloud as Liberty for Java™ application on Cloud Foundry or as applications on IBM® Containers. This type of deployment enables you to deploy what is developed in IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation to a cloud platform such as IBM Bluemix®.

The IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation offerings is provided by using Liberty for Java on Cloud Foundry or by using IBM Containers, which is hosted on Bluemix (IBM's cloud-hosting environment). A container is based on an image format and provides an execution environment within itself.

• IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation on cloud
  Using V8.0.0, we can run instances of MobileFirst Server and MobileFirst Analytics in IBM Containers on IBM Bluemix. Alternatively, we can also run instances of the MobileFirst Server on Cloud Foundry as Liberty for Java application on IBM Bluemix and connect them to MobileFirst Analytics instances deployed in IBM Containers on IBM Bluemix.
