Part of the WebSphere family of products, WebSphere Liberty and Open Liberty are next generation Java platforms and are important to cloud modernization of mission critical enterprise Java workloads. Open Liberty is the production-ready, open-source base for WebSphere Liberty. Sharing the same core implementation, both offerings are fast, lightweight, modular, and container-friendly cloud native runtimes with robust support for industry standards such as Java EE, Jakarta EE, and MicroProfile.

This solution automates most boilerplate steps to provision WebSphere Liberty or Open Liberty on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. Once initial provisioning is complete, you are completely free to customize deployments further. The solution is jointly developed by IBM and Microsoft. See a quick start guide for this offer at https://aka.ms/libertytoaks.

The following resources are automatically provisioned by the offer.

AKS cluster (alternatively, you can deploy to an existing AKS cluster)
Azure Container Registry (ACR) instance (alternatively, you can use an existing ACR instance)
Liberty Operator
Azure Application Gateway instance with a public IP address as Ingress Controller - optional
Sample getting started application - optional
Custom application deployment - optional
Virtual network and one subnet if Azure Application Gateway is used
Network security group

This offer is Bring-Your-Own-License, and assumes you have sufficient entitlements. WebSphere Liberty is available as a limited Trial option before entitlement is required. Open Liberty is open source and free to use unsupported. You can also use OpenLiberty supported through WebSphere Liberty entitlements. When using WebSphere Liberty or Open Liberty supported, usage should be tracked using the License Service Operator.

IBM and Microsoft also provide basic step-by-step instructions on getting started with Liberty and AKS without automated provisioning.

IBM and Microsoft provide similar solutions targeting WebSphere (traditional) on Azure VMs (single instance or cluster), on Azure VM Images (ND, Base, or HTTP Server), and Liberty on Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO). These options are linked in the Learn more section below.
