4.2 Obtaining the OHS Container Image

The Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) Kubernetes deployment requires access to an OHS container image.

The OHS container image can be obtained in the following ways:
  • Prebuilt OHS container image
  • Build your own OHS container image using WebLogic Image Tool

Prebuilt OHS container image

The latest prebuilt OHS 14.1.2 container image can be downloaded from Oracle Container Registry. This image is prebuilt by Oracle and includes Oracle HTTP Server 14.1.2.0.0, the latest Patch Set Update (PSU) and other fixes released with the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program.

Note:

Before using this image you must login to Oracle Container Registry, navigate to Middleware > ohs and accept the license agreement. For future releases (post January 25) that contain the latest Patch Set Update (PSU) and other fixes released with the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program, you should navigate to Middleware >ohs_cpu.
You can use this image in the following ways:
  • Pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry automatically during the OHS Kubernetes deployment.
  • Manually pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry and then upload it to your own container registry.
  • Manually pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry and manually stage it on each worker node.

Build your own OHS container image using WebLogic Image Tool

You can build your own OHS container image using the WebLogic Image Tool. This is recommended if you need to apply one off patches to a prebuilt OHS container image. For more information about building your own container image with WebLogic Image Tool, see Creating or Updating an OHS Image.

You can use an image built with WebLogic Image Tool in the following ways:
  • Manually upload them to your own container registry.
  • Manually stage them on each worker node.

Note:

This documentation does not tell you how to pull or push the above images into a private container registry, or stage them on worker nodes. Details of this can be found in the Enterprise Deployment Guide. See, Procuring Software for an Enterprise Deployment.
