About IBM MQ in containers

Introductory information to help you get started with IBM® MQ in containers.

Containers are a technology to allow the packaging and isolation of code with its runtime environment, which can be run in a way which is isolated from other software on the same infrastructure. This makes it easy to move a queue manager or application between environments (such as dev, test and production). Modern container orchestrators, such Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform and Kubernetes can run many types of containers on the same machine, each isolated from each other in terms of resources, security and failures.

You can run IBM MQ queue managers or your IBM MQ applications in containers.
