Course Overview
Install, manage, and monitor Mule applications using the Runtime Fabric appliance on virtual machines (VMs) or bare metal. Anypoint Runtime Fabric™ is a container service that automates and orchestrates the deployment of Mule runtimes across any environment with centralized management through a single MuleSoft-hosted control plane. This course uses a version of Runtime Fabric that was previously distributed as an appliance including Docker and Kubernetes. You install this version on VMs or bare metal that you operate and manage. In the hands-on exercises, this course uses EC2 instances on Amazon Web Services (AWS), but the process and steps are similar for other VMs. For Runtime Fabric installations on bare metal, the majority of the course is applicable except for the section on installation.
What you’ll learn
When you complete this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the features, benefits, and architecture of Runtime Fabric.
- Install and configure the Runtime Fabric appliance on VMs.
- Deploy Mule applications to Runtime Fabric.
- Scale Runtime Fabric deployments for performance and high availability.
- Use Anypoint Runtime Manager and to manage, monitor, and analyze Mule applications.
- Use OpsCenter and Anypoint Monitoring for dashboarding and monitoring
Requirements
- This course is for Anypoint Platform administrators including operations personnel, developers, and architects who want to get hands-on experience installing, configuring, and using the Runtime Fabric appliance on VMs or bare metal. Note: As of October 31 2022, the Runtime Fabric appliance is no longer available to new customers. To learn to use Runtime Fabric on your own Kubernetes provider, you should instead take the Anypoint Platform Operations: Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes course. If you want to get experience with our integration platform as a service, take the Anypoint Platform Operations: CloudHub 2.0 course, and if you want to stay completely in your own-hosted environment, take the Anypoint Platform Operations: Customer-Hosted Runtimes course. Prerequisites A basic knowledge and experience with the components of Anypoint Platform from one of the following: Completion of the Getting Started with Anypoint Platform course Completion of the Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals course
