Containerization Overview

Learn more about the containerization architecture, including the supported container platforms in deploying HCL WebSphere Portal images for the environment.

Overview

HCL introduced full support for containerization in Digital Experience (DX) 9.5. HCL Digital Experience users can deploy HCL WebSphere Portal images in Docker, Red Hat OpenShift 4.1 and higher, also Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for test, development, staging, and production environments. See the HCL WebSphere Portal 9.5 Container Deployment topic for the latest information on supported platforms and container packages.

Whether developing, testing, or running a full production environment, use of Docker images and containers are preferred for the ease of deploying applications, including the latest version of HCL WebSphere Portal. Deploy in a fraction of the time it takes compared to traditional deployment models.

Please see the Containerization Limitations/Requirements for specific versions and Deployment sections of the documentation before you begin.
