RELATED IDEAS

Provide a Certified Container for MQ Advanced - which could be also used in Kubernetes

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If you want to run MQ Advanced in Kubernetes you have currently to build the image on your own. There is no predefined image provided by IBM.

See: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=pmic-support-building-your-own-mq-queue-manager-container-images


The required script and co are provided by IBM via Github:
https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container

However for a customer this means additional effort (multiple days) to set this up correctly. Further the github repo itself is only maintained on "best can do base".
Overall not a good experience - and we see a lot of customers get frustrated.

On the other site - IBM is able to provide "Certified Images" for Kubernetes. One example is IBM App Connect Enterprise.
Here it's easy to download the latest image and use it your environment.
A perfect and easy way for the customer.


Thus it would be great to get also IBM MQ Certified Images (especially for MQ Advanced).

    Upvote for this idea: The Smart Manufacturing Bus solution at our company uses both ACE and MQ in a classic Linux server environment. All our other applications are moving to Kubernetes, so we'd like this to happen for our IBM Smart Manufacturing Bus as well. This seems to be fairly easy with ACE but not with MQ. As a customer that difference feels strange. Also, we see how easy it is to set up a RabbitMQ instance on Kubernetes.
    Therefore I ask you to prioritize this idea. Thanks!
