CloudBlue Commerce deployment implements the Cloud-Native Configuration approach, where CloudBlue Commerce components are deployed in a Kubernetes cluster in a public or an on-premises cloud.
The Cloud-Native Configuration approach has the following advantages:
- More frequent releases and faster delivery of features.
- Optimization, simplification, and unification of deployment and upgrade operations.
- Horizontal scalability and fault tolerance of the core components (OSS, BSS, and UI).
- Cloud-agnostic deployment. CloudBlue Commerce can be deployed in public or on-premises clouds.
