Chapter 1. Fuse 7.0 Product Overview

1.1. Fuse 7.0

Welcome to the Fuse 7.0 GA release!

This release continues the evolution of Red Hat Fuse with major component upgrades and expanded range of features for the Apache Karaf, JBoss EAP, and Spring Boot containers. In addition, this release introduces a new approach to creating integrations, Fuse Online, which is hosted on OpenShift Online.

1.2. Fuse distributions

Fuse 7.0 is provided in the form of three different distributions, as follows:

Fuse standalone

The classic distribution of Fuse, supported on multiple operating systems. This distribution is supported for the following container types:

  • Apache Karaf
  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • Spring Boot
Fuse on OpenShift (previously, Fuse Integration Services)

The distribution of Fuse for running integration applications on OpenShift (supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system). In this case, the supported container types are provided in the form of docker-formatted container images:

  • Java image (for Spring Boot)
  • Apache Karaf image:
  • JBoss EAP image (new in 7.0)
Fuse Online
The distribution of Fuse that is provided pre-installed on the OpenShift Online Professional tier (and also available for installing on an on-premises OpenShift cluster). In this case, application development is facilitated by a browser based UI, Ignite, and the workflow is simplified to make it accessible to non-expert integrators.

1.3. Uniform technology stack

In Fuse 7.0, the technology stack has been refactored and rationalized to provide a uniform technology stack across all of the supported container types. This uniform technology stack now has the following main components:

  • Apache Camel (application integration)
  • Apache CXF (Web services)
  • AMQ 7 clients with connectivity to an external broker
  • Narayana (transaction manager)
  • Undertow (Web container)
