About this Chapter

This chapter provides an overview of how you can deploy Siebel CRM containers on Kubernetes using Siebel Cloud Manager (SCM). It includes the following topics:

Cloud-native is a paradigm for building, deploying, and managing applications that provides the benefits of containerization, dynamic scaling, automation via DevOps, and resiliency. Kubernetes is a key enabler of this modern approach. It is an open-source platform that helps you to automate the deployment and management of containerized applications by providing mechanisms for orchestrating containers, making it easier to manage large-scale applications such as Siebel CRM.

You can use SCM to deploy Siebel CRM containers on Kubernetes. SCM provides the following features to help you move toward a cloud native deployment of Siebel CRM:

  • Modern observability with metrics monitoring and log analytics
  • Declarative GitOps
  • Modern tooling and innovation
  • Deployment flexibility
  • Retention of existing customizations and functionalities
  • Run-time infrastructure optimization and scaling

This guide provides information about SCM and explains how you can:

  • Set up SCM and, optionally, download the Siebel Lift utility.
  • Deploy Siebel CRM using SCM.
