Deploying Pega Platform by using Kubernetes
Orchestrate a Pega Platform™ deployment by using Docker and Kubernetes to take advantage of Pega Platform Cloud Choice flexibility. Docker is a container tool for developing, shipping, and running applications. Kubernetes is the industry-standard, open-source application orchestration tool commonly used to automate deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Additionally, we support using Helm to manage complex deployments with our included charts.
