Red Hat announces availability of JBoss EAP 7

Open source solution provider Red Hat has announced the general availability of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (JBoss EAP). JBoss EAP 7 combines the widely-deployed Java EE 7 APIs supporting DevOps development practices, such as JBoss Developer Studio, Jenkins, Arquillian, Maven, and support for a number of popular web and JavaScript frameworks.

“Its lightweight nature and small footprint make JBoss EAP 7 a versatile choice suitable for enterprises building traditional applications or more modular, microservices-style applications,” according to a statement.

JBoss EAP 7 has been optimized for cloud environments. “When deployed with Red Hat OpenShift, offers the benefits of containers, load balancing, elastic scaling, health monitoring, and the ability to deploy to a container directly from the IDE which can improve developer productivity and experience,” said the company.

Red Hat also introduced its JBoss Core Services Collection. it provides common foundational building blocks for enterprise applications, such as Web single sign-on, HTTP load balancing, and proxying, as well as management and monitoring capabilities for applications and services. It is included as part of a Red Hat JBoss Middleware subscription.

“Organizations should be able to choose when and how they move to new architectures and programming paradigms. This freedom is a hallmark of open source, and something we embrace at Red Hat.

With JBoss EAP 7, we are addressing the needs of both enterprise IT and developers with a balanced vision designed to bridge the reality of building and maintaining a business today with the aspiration of IT innovation tomorrow,” said Mike Piech, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat.

JBoss EAP is available for download by members of the Red Hat Developers community. Users can get the latest updates from Red Hat’s customer portal.
