Websphere Liberty Core Vs Liberty Base

Core Vs Base

WAS license makes this difference a lot here. WAS has 3 different licenses, Core, Base, and ND. Base and ND licenses are entitled to use WAS full and Liberty features. Core license is entitled to use only Liberty Core implementation.

Liberty core features are a subset of Web, OSGi, EJB application.

Websphere Liberty core can deploy in development and production environments. WAS Liberty Core management options can access by WAS ND or Liberty profile based Collective Controller.

WAS Liberty Core can be a member of Collective but it need WAS ND license.

Which product of WAS to use can decide by application behavior, user base, and infrastructure.
