WSO2 Application Server as a Service

Implementation Overview

WSO2 Application Server (AS) 5.2.1 is provided as a service on WSO2 Private PaaS. This is implemented by creating the following:

• Template module

  The template module configures the product in runtime, with a set of key value pairs known as the configuration parameters.

• Cartridge agent plugin

  The cartridge agent plugin, sets the runtime configuration parameters such as hostnames, IP addresses of dependent clusters, dynamic proxy ports and many more.

• Docker image

  The Docker image is built by packaging the following components:

  • Cartridge agent

  • Product distribution

  • Template module

  • Configurator

  • Java runtime

• Puppet module

  The puppet module includes the same set of component as in the Docker image. In the puppet image the template module is used to configure automation.

Deploying WSO2 AS as a Service

Deploy WSO2 AS as a service using one of the following methods. 

• Deploy the application on Private PaaS when running on a Virtual Machine.
• Deploy the application on Private PaaS when running on Kubernetes.
