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.

Introducing Red Hat Quay

Red Hat Quay is an enterprise container registry platform that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or OpenShift, on-premise or in the cloud. Red Hat Quay provides great features for an image registry, such as the following:

  • Image vulnerability scan: Scan the images to find known vulnerabilities just after they are pushed to the registry using the Clair project. See more information about Clair in the Further reading section of this chapter.
  • Geo-replication: Sync the image registry contents between two or more Quay instances, allowing multiple and geographically distributed Quay deployments to look like a single registry. This is especially helpful for environments spread over far distances and with high latency. Quay handles asynchronous data synchronization between the different instances to make images available transparently for the end user.
  • Repository mirroring: This synchronizes one or more repositories between two Quay instances.
  • Access...
