Alternative to Kar file deployment in Fuse Fabric

[sriarangi]

I would like to deploy set of bundles (similar to KAR file ) with features on Fabric. Any information is appreciated.

With fabric you can assign bundles / features / to a profile. And then assign the profile to containers. Then fabric will deploy that as a single unit (eg set of bundles).

The feature has been requested quite a few times: https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8/issues/1463

With fabric v2 you can deploy KAR files, for example the quickstart examples is a kar deployment unit

quickstarts/pom.xml at master · fabric8io/quickstarts · GitHub

My understanding that the feature has been requested for v1 - the one the commercially supported release is based on.

I am not sure if we will be able to migrate to v2 at all - it is such a drastic departure from the original concept. It just breaks too many use cases.

Breaks to many use-case?

I think you are jumping to conclusions without sound knowledge.

I have provided a list to support.

But this is, indeed, off-topic.

The question was in regards of KAR substituting functionality for v1 - and there is none, unfortunately. v2 is not yet an option as it is not available as a commercial product as yet.
