Get Started with Azul Prime in a Kubernetes Cluster
Azul Prime comes in the following distributions:
-
Stream Builds are fast-moving builds that include the latest JVM features. They are produced once a month and do not receive any security backports.
-
Stable Builds contain only critical fix backports, and are produced on an ongoing basis.
Customers can download builds from the Azul Customer Downloads page.
Want to try Azul Prime for yourself? Request a trial.
For more information about Azul Prime Stream and Stable Builds, see the Azul Prime Roadmap.
These instructions introduce you to the quick and easy process of installing a containerized Azul Prime image to a Kubernetes cluster. Azul no longer publishes Prime Docker images. First build your own Prime image as described in Get Started with Azul Prime using Docker, then push it to a registry your cluster can access.
Creating a Pod with Containerized Azul Prime
Create a pod with Azul Prime in a Docker container:
$ cat <<EOF > azul.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: azul-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: azul-pod
image: <your-registry>/<your-prime-image>
EOF
$ kubectl apply -f azul.yaml
You are now ready to start running your Java applications using the containerized Azul Prime deployed on a Kubernetes cluster.
