Architecting and Operating OpenShift Clusters

Design and architect resilient OpenShift clusters and gain a keen understanding of how hundreds of projects are integrated into a powerful solution. While there are many OpenShift resources available for developers, this book focuses on the key elements of infrastructure and operations that teams need when looking to integrate and maintain this platform. You'll review important concepts, such as repeatable deployment techniques, advanced OpenShift RBAC capabilities, monitoring clusters, and integrating with external services. You'll also see how to run specialized workloads in OpenShift and how to deploy non-web based applications on the platform, all designed to help cultivate best practices as your organization continue evolve in microservices architectures. OpenShift has become the main enterprise Kubernetes distribution and its market penetration continues to growth at rapid rate. While OpenShift's documentation provides a great list of configurationoptions to work with the platform, it can be a daunting task to wade through. Architecting and Operating OpenShift Clusters breaks this content down into clear and useful concepts to provide you with a solid understanding of the OpenShift internal architecture. What You'll Learn Operate high availability in muti-tenant OCP clusters Understand OpenShift SDN models, capabilities, and storage classes Integrate OCP with existing data center capabilities and CI/CD pipelines Support advanced capabilities like: Istio, Multus, Kubernetes Operators, hybrid deployments Who This Book Is For Cloud architects, OpenShift cluster administrators, and teams supporting developers in OpenShift environments who have a basic understanding of this platform and microservices architectures.

The only OpenShift book on the market focused on the operations and architecture of Openshift clusters Specifically relevant to infrastructure and operations teams looking to integrate and maintain this platform Provides concepts and understanding that will enable infrastructure and operations teams to continue evolving their expertise
