Typical Workflow for Developing Applications
To manage the life cycle of Oracle Application Container Cloud Service applications, consider the typical workflow described in the following table..
Task | Description | More Information |
---|---|---|
Design your application | Make sure that your new or existing application meets a few simple design requirements for this service. | Design Considerations |
Compile native libraries | If you have an application with native libraries, then run your build on Oracle Developer Cloud Service, or on your own system that runs Oracle Linux or a compatible distribution. | Compile Native Libraries for Your Application |
Make a standalone application | In order to deploy your application to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service you must make your application self-contained. Your application must contains all the required dependencies and run independently. | Make a Standalone Application |
Create the metadata files | You can define the configuration of your application by using the manifest.json and thedeployment.json files. Use the descriptor files to specify information such as:
|
Create Metadata Files |
Package your application | To deploy your application, you compress the application files along with the dependencies and required configuration information in a .zip, .tgz, or .tar.gz archive file. | Create the Deployment-Ready Archive |
Deploy your application to the service |
You can deploy your application by using the following methods:
|
To deploy from the user interface, see Creating an Application in Using Oracle Application Container Cloud Service. To learn about the REST API, see REST API for Managing Applications. To deploy from Oracle Developer Cloud Service, see Deploying an Application to Oracle Application Container Cloud in Using Oracle Developer Cloud Service. |
Monitor your application (only Java applications) | If you have a Java application, then you can monitor it using Java Mission Control and Java Flight Recorder. | See Java Mission Control and Java Flight Recorder. |
Get the application’s logs | After the application is deployed you can retrieve the application’s logs using the Oracle Application Container Cloud Service console, the command-line interface, or the REST API. | |
Manage your application | As your application is running, you can:
