About the deployment approach

CloudPoint is distributed as a Docker container image that is built on an Ubuntu 16.04 Server Long Term Support (LTS) base image. The image contains the following:

• All CloudPoint services

• MongoDB

• RabbitMQ server

• A web server to support the CloudPoint graphical user interface (GUI)

This deployment approach has the following advantages:

• All the packages and scripts you need to deploy CloudPoint are in the container itself.

• There are minimal installation requirements.

• Deployment requires only a few commands.
