Preparing Your VM/Bare Metal Cluster for Runtime Fabric Installation

MuleSoft received customer feedback asking for rapid patching of high severity vulnerabilities in Kubernetes (K8s) and for MuleSoft to better leverage their existing K8s investments and operational practices. In response to this demand, MuleSoft partnered with industry-leading managed K8s platforms vendors such as AWS, Microsoft, Google and IBM. As a result, MuleSoft is proactively transitioning to deliver K8s to their customers via secure, highly available, and managed K8s platform from the above vendors and will stop investing in the black box approach of Runtime Fabric appliance in which you have found limited visibility and extensibility.

Runtime Fabric is compatible with AWS, Google, Microsoft, and IBM RedHat Openshift solutions that deliver faster and consistent security patches. These integrations enable you to easily leverage existing investments in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

Depending on your affinity to public clouds and in-house Kubernetes expertise, the following self-managed Red Hat OpenShift offerings can enable both on-premises and public cloud bare-metal solutions:

After you use one of these solutions to set up K8s on the cluster, proceed to the Runtime Fabric installation section to set up Runtime Fabric as you would install on an AKS or EKS.

Change for Appliance Users

Existing appliance utility users can migrate the licensed Core capacity currently allocated to a Runtime Fabric appliance deployment to any customer-hosted deployment option such as Runtime Fabric on public clouds, OpenShift, or Mule runtime standalone, subject to the total license limitations. Customers with Flexible Hybrid Deployment rights can also convert Cores to use vCores to utilize this capacity on CloudHub 2.0.
