Deploying IBM Integration Bus for Developers to IBM Cloud Private

You can deploy IBM® Integration Bus for Developers to the IBM private cloud, which is based on Kubernetes.

Before you begin

Install IBM Cloud Private V2.1, as described in Installing a standard IBM® Cloud Private environment, in the IBM Cloud Private documentation. If it is already installed, ensure sure that the Kubectl command line interface (CLI) is also installed, so that you can target any Kubernetes cloud that you require. For information about how to install the Kubectl CLI, see the topic Accessing your IBM Cloud Private cluster by using the kubectl CLI in the IBM Cloud Private documentation.
