Fabric8 BlueService

This is a POC project for the next major Fabric8 upgrade

BlueService Goals

Since project inception Fabric8 has come a long way. Originally designed to run on Karaf, it uses many of the container provided services and is also limmited to those. New requirements have come up mainly in connection with the larger RedHat xPaaS Strategy

Specifically BlueService aims to

• Provide a reliable/portable API for the Fabric8 system
• Verify that existing concepts can be ported to other containers
• Introduce missing concepts that are now required by xPaaS
• Provide API stability both for internal RedHat and external customers

Supported Target Containers

The set of supported target containers includes but is not limited to

• Apache Karaf
• Apache Tomcat
• JBoss WildFly

To achieve container portability, Fabric8 build on top of the Fuse Portable Runtime
