About TimesTen Container Images

In order to use and deploy the TimesTen Operator and TimesTenClassic and TimesTenScaleout objects in your Kubernetes cluster, a TimesTen container image is required. This container image contains TimesTen and its prerequisites. The image has everything that is needed to run the TimesTen Operator and to run TimesTen containers in the TimesTen Pods created by this TimesTen Operator.

A TimesTen container image uses the Oracle Linux base image. Oracle Java is installed into the TimesTen image using JDK script friendly URLs and Dockerfile techniques.

You have two options for obtaining and then using the TimesTen container image. It is your choice as to which option to use. The options are as follows:

• Option 1: Use a TimesTen container image located on the Oracle Container Registry at https://container-registry.oracle.com. Before using this image, you must accept the Oracle Standard Terms and Restrictions for the image. See Option 1: Use the Official TimesTen Container Images.

• Option 2: Build the TimesTen container image: The TimesTen distribution contains the TimesTen Operator distribution. The TimesTen Operator distribution provides a Dockerfile that lets you build a TimesTen container image. See Option 2: Build the TimesTen Container Image.
