You can learn still more about using the CF docker containers in the CF docs on them. (And some people may only use containers in development, or for exploration.)
It’s just use for prod requires licensing, like with regular CF deployment. Again, though, use of containers for dev is free. There had been acknowledgment in mid-2020 of a need to change the licensing for practical containerized deployment. You should reach out to Adobe to ask more.
For more infoĪgain, there are certainly many questions one could have that are not answered by those. Note as well that this licensing discussion applies just as well if deploying Adobe CF via Commandbox Docker images. For instance, if ColdFusion is being deployed on two containers on a single VM instance, then both containers running ColdFusion will have to be licensed separately as per the ColdFusion EULA based on that VM instance being used. With ColdFusion Standard Edition, every containerized deployment needs to be licensed as per the ColdFusion End User Licensing Agreement (EULA).

(I discuss below how to reach out to Adobe to get questions answered.)įor ColdFusion Standard, the discussion of that same question in its FAQ page indicates instead that you need a license for EACH container (from ): Of course, a challenge is that in container deployment (and orchestration), we may not have control over what “machines” our containers run on. (For now, there is no mention of Docker or containers in the EULA.)įor ColdFusion Enterprise, its FAQ page discussion on containers (“ How do I license ColdFusion on containerized deployments?“) indicates that it allows 8 containers per license (from ):ĬoldFusion Enterprise Edition allows a maximum of eight containers to be used for every Enterprise license, provided the underlying instance is licensed as per the ColdFusion End User Licensing Agreement (EULA).Īs for that phrase about “the underlying instance”, the implication seems to relate to how CF is licensed per the number of cores on the box (physical or virtual, as discussed in the EULA). Let’s clarify first: using the images/containers for development is free, per typical CF Developer edition licensing, as covered in the CF EULA (which I discuss and link to in another post).Īs for the licensing of containers for production, note that it varies between Standard and Enterprise editions, and for now the only information we have is the following brief sentences mentioned in the FAQ pages for each CF edition. But have you wondered what the licensing is, to run such containers in production? This post addresses that question. You may know that Adobe offers Docker images for CF and related CF services, for CF2021, CF2018 and CF2016.
