Private Cloud deployments involve using cloud-native technologies like Docker and Kubernetes on infrastructure controlled by the user.For Mendix, Private Cloud typically involves using a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster from supported providers.Advantages of Private Cloud include control over hosting location, access methods, deployments, and security measures.Drawbacks include the need for hardware, configuration expertise, and implementation of security measures.Private Cloud has two versions: Connected mode allows management through Mendix Portal, while Standalone mode interacts with the cluster directly.Deployment steps involve registering a cluster, adding a namespace, installing the Mendix operator, and deploying the app.The Mendix operator monitors app changes and applies necessary updates, configurable via mxpc-cli script.Deployment requires creating environments in the Mendix Portal and deploying the app to the cluster.Private Cloud deployment is complex but offers control and customization; official Mendix documentation can provide more detailed instructions.Future articles will delve into connected vs. standalone environments, environment segregation, CI/CD integration, and more.For more information or assistance in setting up Private Cloud deployments, readers are encouraged to seek further guidance.
