Deployment Options

Apache Ignite can run stand alone, in a cluster, within Kubernetes and Docker containers, as well as on Apache Mesos and Hadoop Yarn. It can also run on physical servers as well as within virtual environments.

Public Clouds:

For public cloud environments, Ignite has native integration with Amazon AWS and Google Compute Engine. For all other cloud environments, Ignite integrates with Apache JClouds that has support for most of the existing cloud providers.

Containers:

Ignite can freely run within container environments. Ignite's integration with Docker allows to automatically build and deploy user code into Ignite prior to server startup.

Apache Ignite cluster can also be deployed in Kubernetes that allows automatic deployment and management of containerized applications.

Resource Managers:

Ignite provides native integration for Hadoop Yarn and Apache Mesos making it very easy to seamlessly deploy Ignite into Hadoop and Spark environments.

Deployment Options

Feature	Description
Zero Deployment	Ignite nodes automatically become aware of custom classes, eliminating the need to explicitly deploy them. Docs for this feature
Dynamic Schema Changes	Ignite stores objects in binary format eliminating the need to deploy classes on server nodes. Docs for this feature
Stand-Alone Clusters	Ignite nodes can automatically discover each other. This helps to scale the cluster when needed, without having to restart the whole cluster - simply start up new additional nodes and they will automatically join the existing work loads. Docs for this Feature
Docker Container	`Docker` allows to package Ignite deployment with all the dependencies into a standard container. Docker automates downloading the Ignite release, deploying users' code into Ignite, and configuring nodes. It also automatically starts up the fully configured Ignite node. Docs for this Feature
Kubernetes	Apache Ignite cluster can be easily deployed in and maintained by `Kubernetes` which is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Docs for this Feature
Public Clouds	For public cloud environments, Ignite has native integration with `Amazon AWS` and `Google Compute Engine`. For all other cloud environments, Ignite integrates with `Apache JClouds` which has support for most of the existing cloud providers.

Apache Mesos	Ignite provides native integration for `Apache Mesos` making it very easy to deploy into Mesos data centers, such as, for example, Hadoop and Spark environments. Docs for this Feature
Hadoop Yarn	Ignite provides native integration for `Hadoop Yarn` making it very easy to deploy into Hadoop and Spark environments. Docs for this Feature
