8 Using Kubernetes with Coherence

Oracle provides an open source Coherence Operator, which implements features to assist with deploying and managing Coherence clusters in a Kubernetes environment.

If you are interested in using Coherence with Kubernetes, see the Coherence Operator project.

Pin application/runtime images, mount configuration and secrets through the deployment, and generate application type/executable metadata at build time. Set cluster/discovery/security properties before startup. Configure separate startup, readiness and liveness checks; allow journal replay and recovery quorum time before routing traffic. Use controlled rolling operations that wait for service safety/ownership and preserve persistent volumes/recovery points. Follow Operating and Recovering Unified Persistence Journal and Using the Health Check API. The selected Operator release owns its CRD/API compatibility and lifecycle; use that release documentation for manifests.
