Deploying the KIE Workbench in the
cloud
One trendy topic nowadays is the possibility of deploying different middleware solutions in
the cloud, in order to relieve a company from the burden of managing hardware administra-
tion and allocation for their enterprise and development configurations. The KIE Work-
bench is a project that was developed with the cloud in mind, and evolved to be deployable
within a cloud server.
The KIE Workbench is a web application and can run on any type of server. However, it is
mainly tested on top of JBoss Application Server 7.1, the current production-ready Applic-
ation Server from Red Hat. Because of that, the newest distributions are quickly available
to run on JBoss-based cloud providers. This is the reason for having the cloud-based distri-
bution of the KIE Workbench prepared to run on OpenShift ( http://www.openshift.com ), a
multiplatform (of which one of them is JBoss) cloud service. We will see how to configure
a running KIE Workbench on said cloud provider.
First, we will need to register on OpenShift by clicking on the SIGN UP button on the top-
right corner of the OpenShift website. This button will take us to a registration screen, as
shown in the following screenshot:
