  Deploying InterSystems IRIS in Containers and the Cloud

  Use a scalable deployment strategy to add reliability to any InterSystems IRIS® data platform implementation. In this learning path, see how to create cloud- and container-based deployments for InterSystems IRIS. First, outline your system and deployment specifications. Then, review examples of deployments and try your own to determine which approach is best for your system.

  This path contains five sections. One, Outline system and deployment specifications, 5 minutes. Two, Get familiar with cloud and container deployment options, 30 minutes. Three, Use containers for scaling and automation, 1 hour. Four, Deploy with InterSystems Cloud Manager, 45 minutes. Five, Deploy with InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, 1 hour
