Deploying on PCF
Starting with Hazelcast 3.7, you can deploy your Hazelcast cluster onto Pivotal Cloud Foundry. It is available as a Pivotal Cloud Foundry Tile which you can download at https://network.pivotal.io/products/hazelcast/. You can find the installation and usage instructions, and the release notes documents at https://docs.pivotal.io/partners/hazelcast/index.html.
Deployment via Docker
You can deploy your Hazelcast projects using the Docker containers. Hazelcast has the following images on Docker:
- Hazelcast IMDG
- Hazelcast IMDG Enterprise
- Hazelcast Management Center
- Hazelcast OpenShift
After you pull an image from the Docker registry, you can run your image to start the management center or a Hazelcast instance with Hazelcast's default configuration. All repositories provide the latest stable releases but you can pull a specific release too. You can also specify environment variables when running the image.
If you want to start a customized Hazelcast instance, you can extend the Hazelcast image by providing your own configuration file.
This feature is provided as a Hazelcast plugin. Please see its own GitHub repo at Hazelcast Docker for details on configurations and usages.
