Chapter 1. Red Hat Fuse and Red Hat Process Automation Manager
Red Hat Fuse is a distributed, cloud-native integration platform that is part of an agile integration solution. Its distributed approach enables teams to deploy integrated services where required. Fuse has the flexibility to service diverse users, including integration experts, application developers, and business users, each with their own choice of deployment, architecture, and tooling. The API-centric, container-based architecture decouples services so they can be created, extended, and deployed independently. The result is an integration solution that supports collaboration across the enterprise.
Red Hat Process Automation Manager is the Red Hat platform for creating business automation applications and microservices. It enables enterprise business and IT users to document, simulate, manage, automate, and monitor business processes and policies. Red Hat Process Automation Manager is designed to empower business and IT users to collaborate more effectively, so business applications can be changed easily and quickly.
You can install Red Hat Fuse on the Apache Karaf container platform or Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and then install and configure Red Hat Process Automation Manager in that container.
For the version of Red Hat Fuse that Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.8 supports, see Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 Supported Configurations.
