Hi Vijay, 1) Yes it's ready for production. To give you an idea, we are running our system on Amazon EC2 using ACE with ~200 bundles and ~20 servers. We provision software updates every few days to the production servers. This works well. Make sure to build a release from the latest sources however! Do not use the current binary distribution in production, there are some nasty issues in there.
2) Not sure, but basically you just need the management agent bundle. (org.apache.ace.managementagent.jar). This should work in Equinox as well. 3) ACE has a REST api that you can use from scripts. You can do everything, and a lot more, that you can do from the UI using the REST api. We use this in production as well. Servers are started on demand and use the REST api to register themselves as targets and start provisioning. Documentation can be found here: http://ace.apache.org/user-doc/restapi.html Cheers, Paul On Oct 23, 2012, at 20:19 , Vijay Reddy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am evaluating Apache Ace (Incubator) as an option for provisioning > (install/updates) of OSGi bundles to couple of applications on our network. > > So far was able to download the distributution and from Ace WebUI, I > could add bunch of artifacts/features/distributions and I > could start remote targets using ace-laucher and discover artifacts from > server onto the targets.
