Chapter 1. Introduction

JBoss EAP 7 can be used with the Microsoft Azure platform, as long as you use it within the specific supported configurations for running JBoss EAP in Azure. If you are configuring a clustered JBoss EAP environment, you must apply the specific configurations necessary to use JBoss EAP clustering features in Azure.

This guide details the supported configurations of using JBoss EAP in Microsoft Azure, as well as the specific JBoss EAP configuration required to enable JBoss EAP clustering in Azure. All other JBoss EAP features not mentioned in this guide operate normally in Azure as with any other JBoss EAP installation. See the other JBoss EAP documentation for non-Azure-specific configuration instructions.

Copy link

You can choose between two subscription models for deploying JBoss EAP on Azure: bring your own subscription (BYOS) and pay-as-you-go (PAYG).

The following are the differences between the two offerings:

BYOS
If you already have an existing Red Hat subscription, you can use it for deploying JBoss EAP on Azure with the BYOS model. For more information, see About Red Hat Cloud Access.
PAYG
If you do not have an existing Red Hat subscription, you can choose to pay based on the number of computing resources you used by using the PAYG model.
