Hi Mike,
Let me mention one outdated / ancient option that I used for running a POC with the V5 APIC in a cloud Linux environment (single Ubuntu node in Google Cloud with Docker, without k8s), some 3 years ago or so:
https://github.com/strongloop/apiconnect-dockerThis package contains docker image for the developer portal and management server too, unless you were planning to use some existing deployment for these components (or some other infra for running these two APIC components that are not trivial to deploy to cloud with V5 I think, though IBM Cloud has some VMware capabilities that might do the job for you, not sure).
Word of caution: it's old v5060 that you get with this package, and I think there's no way to upgrade / apply any APIC firmware fixes in this setup, so it's missing all the latest v50x features and number of critical
security fixes (critical especially for the drupal / developer portal part).
Br, Panu

Hi Hermann,
Our customer is still using APIC 5.0.x on most of the environments and there is no such plan to migrate into 2018.4.x or V10 container platform.
There will be plan to migrate but not recent.
So I would like to setup similar APIC 5.0.x environment and Datapower Virtual on IBM Cloud - Linux environment for the POC purposes.
Can you please suggest from where I can download these specific version and installed on IBM Cloud - Linux.
Thank you,
wagnermc

Why do you want to make a POC with a firmware 14 months past end of life?
Please use either 2018.4.1.x or 10.0.1.y firmwares.
