Important notes for the JBoss Fuse 7.0 TP4 release of the Fuse on OpenShift distribution:
- Redeploying an application using the Fabric8 Maven plugin
When deploying a Fuse on OpenShift application to OpenShift Container Platform 3.7 using the Fabric8 Maven plugin, you cannot redeploy the application using just the command
mvn fabric8:deploy. Use the following sequence of commands instead:mvn fabric8:undeploy mvn fabric8:deploy- Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the only supported operating system
- All of the provided Fuse on OpenShift images are based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux O/S.
