Hello Joao, Thanks for your response and proven case study. I will try to setup on my local machine using apache karaf and docker as POC. But I will like to exercise both models karaf and enroute running in docker and see which one is more manageable for real production environment, since some users/reviewers would like to see what’s to see what’s under the cover.

We have a base docker image with Java and a custom distro of Apache Karaf. From this base image we create specializations for different environments. Jenkins is used, but due to security and practical reasons, only to assemble the custom karaf distribution and the docker images. These images are pushed to a Nexus repository. For major releases we usually replace the docker images, but in some situations, like limited bandwidth or reduced/no downtime, we only update the bundles that changed. One aspect we are trying to improve is the size of the docker images. The images are a bit over 1GB, a size that is probably not a big issue when you are deploying to a datacenter or cloud environment, but in a situation with hundreds of remote locations and limited bandwidth, it starts to be a bit troublesome.

There's no "best practice" for deployment in OSGi runtimes. The answer is pretty much "Whatever works for you!" If Docker is something you know.. then Docker it is! If it's ACE, then use ACE! If it's a home brewed thing that has proven to work, then that's probably pretty ok as well. There's no right or wrong answer as long as you've considered and are ready to deal with the implications of your choice.

Should we deploy our OSGI bnd enroute bundles as a single executable JAR as stated in the tutorial http://enroute.osgi.org/tutorial_base/700-deploy.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__enroute.osgi.org_tutorial-5Fbase_700-2Ddeploy.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=ewHkv9vLloTwhsKn5d4bTdoqsmBfyfooQX5O7EQLv5TtBZ1CwcvjU063xndfqI8U&r=wKHHp1xupEN1UoR2CPDlg9US2Vs3om5ld5YqSsWMQX8&m=pTMH1ercBaKDApYfbgbhWDKR7ky456V1A_nvwKjjmj4&s=tsKpvHcQsOYjT1AvTX7vaLlTc0LWRl8a3NpcbxBQFog&e=> to a single server that has OS and JVM? 2. Should we deploy using Jenkins and apache ACE to a standalone server or (Cloud)? 3. Should we deploy using Jenkins/bamboo and ACE to a docker container.? 4. If we deploy as an excucatble Jar, will we be able to stop/start/activate individual bundles?
