AIA Cloud Native Deployment

This release introduces and supports the deployment of AIA in a cloud native environment.

AIA in a cloud native architecture increases operational efficiency by improving hardware utilisation and scaling real-time business events to capture revenue.

The AIA cloud native deployment option combines the features and extensibility of AIA with the agility and efficiency of cloud infrastructure with DevOps aligned.

The key features of AIA cloud native are:
  • Container images (Docker and CRI-O), orchestrated in Kubernetes - production support for AIA-RODOD Deployment on Kubernetes
  • Install and manage using Helm charts
  • Docker files and scripts for development and testing
  • Lifecycle management using WebLogic Kubernetes Operator
The key benefits of AIA cloud native are:
  • Design, test, and deploy faster: Easier installations, agile service development and launch.
  • Operate more efficiently: Run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and simplified upgrades.
  • Grow with the business: Efficient scaling and foundation for the digital future.
