I have created an application and deployed successfully in Docker.

C:\Users\ei10441>docker ps

As per official website it mentioned deployment in Kubernetes and Openshift only (https://quarkus.io/guides/deploying-to-kubernetes)

Other then this What are other available ways to deploy Quarkus Application?

Answer 1

There are 2 basic modes that a Quarkus application can be deployed:

1. As a standard Java application (executable jar with libraries on the classpath)
2. As a native executable which can be built using GraalVM

Based on the output snippet you posted, it looks like you're running the application as a regular Java app.

If you deploy your application as a standard Java app, then you can "deploy" Quarkus anywhere you can run an executable jar (bare metal, containers, etc).

If you do the extra step of compiling your application into a native executable (which is not mandatory BTW) then your app can only be deployed on an OS that is compatible with the native executable -- which is where containers really comes in handy.

If you put either the Java app or the native executable app inside a container, you can deploy the container anywhere that supports running containers.
