Oracle WebCenter Content

In this release, Oracle WebCenter Content domain is supported using the “domain on a persistent volume” model only, where the domain home is located in a persistent volume (PV).

The WebLogic Kubernetes Operator has several key features to assist you with deploying and managing Oracle WebCenter Content domain in a Kubernetes environment. You can:

  • Create Oracle WebCenter Content instances(Oracle WebCenter Content server & Oracle WebCenter Content Inbounnd Refinery server) in a Kubernetes persistent volume (PV). This PV can reside in an NFS file system or other Kubernetes volume types.
  • Start servers based on declarative startup parameters and desired states.
  • Expose the Oracle WebCenter Content services and composites for external access.
  • Scale Oracle WebCenter Content domains by starting and stopping Managed Servers on demand, or by integrating with a REST API.
  • Publish WebLogic Kubernetes Operator and WebLogic Server logs to Elasticsearch and interact with them in Kibana.
  • Monitor the Oracle WebCenter Content instance using Prometheus and Grafana.
