Also known as Teracloud Streams with IBM 7.2, this release represents our strategic platform built to
leverage modern technologies and practices. It supports RHEL 8 and 9 with native binaries,
optimized platform performance, and full integration with OpenJDK 17.
With a focus on long-term support and complete platform security integration,
this release is designed for forward-looking enterprises.
New functionalities include the addition of a Python operator, a full-function REST API for administration,
and a new job data service for accessing application data via REST.
Improved data access capabilities, enhanced tooling, and a refined development experience provide
significant value for modern workloads.
Migration to this platform requires some planning, as applications may need updates to ensure
compatibility with RHEL 8 and 9. Native applications may require rebuilding,
and additional validation steps will be necessary for production deployment.
Thorough testing should be prioritized to minimize disruption.
This platform is best suited for projects targeting deployment in Q1 or Q2 of 2025,
especially for organizations with resources available for application updates.
It’s ideal for use cases requiring modern features or for teams preferring a single migration rather than a staged approach.
