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.

Using Red Hat Quay

Red Hat Quay usage is very simple. A user-friendly interface will help you to configure additional global and security settings. We recommend you create an organization to organize your Quay registry by departments, regions, or any other division you want:

  1. In this example, we created an organization named multiclusterbook.

A very helpful way to learn how to use Red Hat Quay is using the tutorial. You’ll see how to do that.

Running the tutorial

Running the tutorial mentioned in the Quay UI is not required but it can be a good starting point to understanding Red Hat Quay as an enterprise container registry. The first step of this tutorial is to log in via the terminal to the Quay registry endpoint. We are using podman as the container engine but you...
