Deployment of applications based on reusable components in a large network environment can become complicated very quickly. In this session, Jean-Baptise Onofré from Talend will describe how to manage deployment tasks using Apache Karaf and Apache ACE.

Apache Karaf is a flexible, lightweight, enterprise-ready OSGi container that provides a runtime for a wide variety of components, including pure web applications and ESB-oriented services. Karaf's flexible tooling makes it suitable for large-scale deployment, and it supports multiple instances through high-availability and clustering.

Apache ACE is a software distribution framework that provides centralized management of multi-node component deployments.

Jean-Baptise will begin with an introduction to Karaf, covering the Karaf shell and the basics of multiple instance management. Then, he will demonstrate how to use ACE to provision applications running inside Karaf.
