Red Hat Fuse: Your Options
From July 2024, Red Hat Fuse v7 – based on open-source technologies such as Apache Camel and ActiveMQ – will reach end-of-life. This will signal the end of Fuse as a product, meaning it will no longer be developed and maintained by Red Hat.
Users wishing to continue with Fuse support must purchase an Extended Life Support (ELS) subscription. Not only will ELS expire at the end of June 2026, but ELS will double the cost of existing Fuse subscriptions.
As part of Red Hat’s drive towards modern hybrid cloud and cloud-native architectures, Red Hat is evolving its product offering from Red Hat Fuse to Red Hat build of Apache Camel. Customers are encouraged to migrate to the new product offering to ensure their investment in Camel-based integrations is secure through continued Red Hat product development, support and maintenance.
Tier 2 is currently assisting customers to migrate to the new product set. While every integration is unique, in general, there are two major considerations when moving away from Red Hat Fuse:
- Under the new product range, the deployment approach for applications has changed – no longer are they deployed within a Fuse application server; now they are deployed as standalone applications;
- Fuse integrations are all currently based on Camel v2.x – they should now be upgraded to use Camel v3.x or 4.x.
