WebLogic Image Tool

Oracle is finding ways for organizations using WebLogic Server to run important workloads, to move those workloads into the cloud, and to simplify and speed up the application deployment life cycle. By adopting industry standards, such as Docker and Kubernetes, WebLogic now runs in a cloud neutral infrastructure. To help simplify and automate the creation of container images for WebLogic Server, we are providing this open source WebLogic Image Tool (WIT).

WIT let's you create a new Linux based image, with installations of a JDK and WebLogic Server, and optionally, configure a WebLogic domain with your applications, apply WebLogic Server patches, or update an existing image.

With the Image Tool you can:

Create a Docker image and install the requested Java and WebLogic software. And, you can create a

WebLogic domain in the image, at the same time.

Create a new Docker image using an existing WebLogic domain from an existing image. The Docker

image can start from an existing image with a JDK and Oracle middleware installation, or can install the JDK and Oracle Home as part of moving the domain.

Create a new Docker image by applying WebLogic patches to an existing image. In addition,

if one did not exist previously, you can create a WebLogic domain, update an existing domain, or deploy an application.

For detailed information, see Image Tool.
