Building your own IBM MQ container
Develop a self-built container. This is the most flexible container solution, but it requires you to have strong skills
in configuring containers, and to own
the resultant container.
Before starting
Before you develop your own container, consider whether we can instead use one of the pre-packaged containers provided by IBM . See IBM MQ in containersAbout this task
When you package IBM MQ as a container image, changes to the application can be deployed to test and staging systems quickly and easily. This can be a major benefit to continuous delivery in your enterprise.
- Plan your own IBM MQ queue manager image using a container
There are several requirements to consider when running an IBM MQ queue manager in a container. The sample container image provides a way to handle these requirements, but if we want to use your own image, we need to consider how these requirements are handled. - Building a sample IBM MQ queue manager container image
Use this information to build a sample container image for running an IBM MQ queue manager in a container. - Running local binding applications in separate containers
With process namespace sharing between containers in Docker, we can run applications that require a local binding connection to IBM MQ in separate containers from the IBM MQ queue manager.
