Official Microsoft Azure Sample for Payara Micro

Uncategorized

Payara Server has a strong relationship with Microsoft Azure and the Java at Microsoft team – and now, there’s an official best practice Azure Sample for running Payara Micro on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)! 

This is a reaction to more and more Azure customers wanting to run Payara on Azure, with many moving from GlassFish to Payara Micro on AKS. It also precedes the next step for Azure and Payara:  releasing Payara Cloud as a PaaS running on Azure.

Find the sample and read an introductory blog from Nate Ceres, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Java on Azure at Microsoft:

Payara Cloud allows you to simply select your war, click deploy, and watch your apps run on the cloud (Microsoft Azure) automatically, like magic. 

Applications following the Jakarta Web profile specification can be uploaded and will run in containerized Payara Micro instances. If the above sample is of interest, it may be that Payara Cloud could pose an even more straightforward solution, cutting out the Kubernetes aspect altogether!
