Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
An application platform for hosting your apps that provides an innovative modular, cloud-ready architecture, powerful management and automation, and world class developer productivity.
Overview
JBoss EAP is an open source platform for highly transactional, web-scale Java applications. JBoss EAP combines the familiar and popular Jakarta EE specifications with the latest technologies, like Eclipse MicroProfile, to modernize your applications from traditional Java EE into the new world of DevOps, cloud, containers, and microservices.
JBoss EAP includes everything needed to build, run, deploy, and manage enterprise Java applications in a variety of environments, including on-premise, virtual environments, and in private, public, and hybrid clouds. JBoss EAP is based upon the popular open source project WildFly.
Deployment options
With numerous deployment options, JBoss EAP supports both modernization and cloud-native application development efforts. Red Hat supports deploying JBoss EAP on-premise, on hyperscalers, and on OpenShift.
On-Premise
Traditional, on-premise EAP deployments on virtual machines continue to be a great option for customers who have the infrastructure and personnel to host and maintain their own application infrastructure.
