Overview

Apache Karaf is a lightweight, polymorphic OSGi-based application container. It provides hot deployment, dynamic configuration, a rich provisioning system and a powerful management console for running modular Java applications and microservices.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers Karaf hardened and fully patched on Ubuntu 24.04, preconfigured so the runtime is ready on first boot. The SSH management console uses a unique credential generated on first boot with no default login, backed by a paired deployment guide and 24/7 support.
