Overview of this book

For IT professionals working with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the key to maximizing efficiency is understanding the powerful and resilient options to maintain the software development platform with minimal effort. OpenShift Multi-Cluster Management Handbook is a deep dive into the technology, containing knowledge essential for anyone who wants to work with OpenShift. This book starts by covering the architectural concepts and definitions necessary for deploying OpenShift clusters. It then takes you through designing Red Hat OpenShift for hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, showing you different approaches for multiple environments (from on-premises to cloud providers). As you advance, you’ll learn container security strategies to protect pipelines, data, and infrastructure on each layer. You’ll also discover tips for critical decision making once you understand the importance of designing a comprehensive project considering all aspects of an architecture that will allow the solution to scale as your application requires. By the end of this OpenShift book, you’ll know how to design a comprehensive Red Hat OpenShift cluster architecture, deploy it, and effectively manage your enterprise-grade clusters and other critical components using tools in OpenShift Plus.

What is Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security?

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security, also known as StackRox, is a Kubernetes-native security tool that provides the following features:

  • Policies and violations: Defines security policies and has a report of all violation events in real time. You can define your own policies and/or use dozens of policies that come out of the box.
  • Vulnerability management: Detects known vulnerabilities in your clusters to give you the weapons you need to remediate and prevent security issues.
  • Risk profiling: Assesses the risk of your environment and classifies applications according to their security risk.
  • Compliance: Reports the compliance of your clusters according to some industry-standard security profiles.
  • Configuration management: Helps you to make sure your deployments follow the security best practices.
  • Network segmentation: Views the network traffic between different namespaces and allows you to create Network Policies to restrict...
