2 About the BRM Cloud Native Deployment Packages

Learn about the Helm charts and images in the Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) cloud native deployment package that help you deploy and manage pods of BRM product services in Kubernetes.

Overview of the BRM Cloud Native Deployment Package

The BRM cloud native deployment package includes the following:

Ready-to-use images and Helm charts to help you orchestrate containers in Kubernetes.
Sample Dockerfiles and scripts that you can use as a reference for building your own images.

You can use the images and Helm charts to help you deploy and manage pods of BRM product services in Kubernetes. Communication between pods of services of BRM products is preconfigured in the Helm charts.

About BRM Pods

Table 2-1 lists the pods for BRM whose containers are created and services are exposed through them.

Note:

The BRM cloud native pods support the following replica types:
- Multi-replica: You can scale these pods at the Kubernetes level to the number of replicas needed.
- Single-replica: You cannot scale these pods.
- Multi-instance: You can scale these pods but not at the Kubernetes level. Instead, a new instance needs to be created and scaling is usually limited.
The ratedeventformatter pod requires one instance for each role on each schema. For example, suppose you have two schemas on two sites. In that case, you create primary and secondary instances for each schema in site 1 and primary and secondary instances for each schema in site 2, for a total of 8 instances.

About Client Pods and Images

Table 2-2 lists the pods and images for PDC, PDC REST Services Manager, Pipeline Configuration Center, Billing Care, Business Operations Center, and BRM REST Services Manager.

Note:

For the list of pods and images for Offline Mediation Controller, see "About Offline Mediation Controller Pods and Images" in Offline Mediation Controller Cloud Native Installation and Administration Guide.

Note:

The BRM cloud native pods support the following replica types:
- Multi-replica: You can scale these pods at the Kubernetes level to the number of replicas needed.
- Single-replica: You cannot scale these pods.
- Multi-instance: You can scale these pods but not at the Kubernetes level. Instead, a new instance needs to be created and scaling is usually limited.
Replace tag with the release version number, such as 15.1.0.0.0.
If the PDC user sets the t3ChannelPort and t3sChannelPort keys in the values.yaml file, the HTTP, HTTPS, t3Channel, and t3sChannel ports will be NodePort.
The Billing Care and Billing Care REST API pods support multi-replica managed services with scaling done through WebLogic Kubernetes Operator.
