Chapter 1. Introduction

Red Hat JBoss Data Grid is available as a containerized image that you can deploy and use in OpenShift.

1.1. Functionality with Data Grid for OpenShift Images

The Red Hat Data Grid for OpenShift image does not have the same supported configurations and functionality as the full release of JBoss Data Grid.

Functionality differences in the Data Grid for OpenShift image are as follows:

  • The JBoss Data Grid Management Console is not available to manage Data Grid for OpenShift images.
  • The JBoss Data Grid Management CLI is bound locally. This means that you can access the Management CLI of a container only in the pod.
  • Library mode is not supported.
  • JDBC is supported as a backing cache store only.
