In the previous chapter, we talked about OpenShift scenarios in single and multiple data centers and explained how to properly design OpenShift in a distributed and redundant configuration across one or more data centers.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the main network aspects while designing OpenShift clusters in one or across multiple data centers. We will also cover commonly made mistakes, solutions, and overall guidance from a networking point of view.
After reading this chapter, you will have an understanding of the following topics:
- Common network topologies for OpenShift deployments
- Commonly made mistakes while designing networks for OpenShift
- General network requirements and design guidelines for OpenShift deployments
