It was designed and developed to accommodate Cerner’s complex topologies. Cerner has donated Jwala to the open-source community to help others with the same needs. In this session, you will learn how to use Jwala to manage your large Apache Tomcat/Apache HTTPD topology. We’ll dive deep into best practices and proven techniques to use Jwala to configure, deploy, and manage your topology at an enterprise scale.
