IBM has announced the end-of-life for the liberty-for-java buildpack in Cloud Foundry, and users are in need of a migration option. The recommended solution is to use the Paketo Buildpack for Liberty, a cloud-native alternative. The key benefit of using Paketo Buildpack is the capability to convert application source code into consistent container images, which can be used across various platforms, providing greater flexibility and ease of updates.
Additional benefits of using the Paketo Buildpack for Liberty include the capability to construct your application image without the need for a Dockerfile, efficient rebuilds due to built-in caching, and simple modification and updating options.
To simplify the migration process, we have created a guide that is divided into two primary parts: creating your Liberty application using the Paketo Buildpack for Liberty, and advanced capabilities for Liberty applications. The guide contains a feature-by-feature comparison of Cloud Foundry and Paketo Buildpack commands in each section. These sections are intended to assist you in moving your application from Cloud Foundry to the Paketo Buildpack for Liberty.
The section of the guide on constructing your Liberty application with the Paketo Buildpack includes the following steps:
The section of the guide on advanced capabilities for Liberty applications that utilize the Paketo Buildpack for Liberty includes the following areas:
