Anypoint Platform Operations: Runtime Fabric Appliance

Summary

Anypoint Runtime Fabric is a container service that automates and orchestrates the deployment of Mule runtimes across Amazon Web Service (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and on-premises data centers that can be managed through a single MuleSoft-hosted control plane. Runtime Fabric is available as a package that is installable on an existing Kubernetes environment that is operated and managed by the customer, or as an appliance that includes Docker and Kubernetes. This course is for all operations personnel, developers, and architects who want to get hands-on experience installing, configuring, managing, and monitoring customer-hosted Mule runtimes and applications using the Runtime Fabric appliance.

Note: This course uses the Runtime Fabric appliance on AWS and includes content on how to install and configure the Runtime Fabric appliance. If you are planning to use Runtime Fabric on self-managed Kubernetes, you should not take this course. You should take a new course that uses Runtime Fabric on self-managed Kubernetes (EKS or AKS) that is under development and will be available in Q1 2021.
