Oracle is finding ways for organizations using Oracle Coherence to move their important workloads into the cloud. By certifying on industry standards, such as Docker and Kubernetes, Coherence now runs in a cloud neutral infrastructure. In addition, we've provided an open-source Oracle Coherence Kubernetes Operator (the “operator”) which has several key features to assist you with deploying and managing Coherence clusters in a Kubernetes environment. You can:

• Run the Coherence you know and love on the industry standard Kubernetes container orchestration framework, using Docker containers for the system elements of Coherence.

• Use popular industry standard tools such as Grafana, ELK, and Prometheus to monitor the performance, logs and and health from your clusters.

• Flexibly override and customize cluster configuration.

• Scale the Coherence deployment.

• Use Coherence*Extend to access your cluster with a variety of clients.

• Start clusters based on declarative startup parameters and desired states.

• Use Kubernetes persistent volumes to provide the storage for "storage enabled" cluster nodes.

• Deploy custom code for your EntryProcessor classes and other server-side Coherence constructs.

The fastest way to experience the operator is to follow the Quick Start guide. More information is available on the Documentation Site.
