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.

To get the most out of this book

Throughout this book, you will run commands and use command-line tools. We recommend you use a Mac or Linux workstation, such as Fedora or Ubuntu – although some of the CLI tools also have versions for Windows, the command examples used in this book assume the usage of a Linux workstation, and Mac should also work fine.

For some sections of this book, an AWS account is necessary; however, it should not be difficult to adapt the examples for other cloud providers. You can sign up for a free trial on AWS here: https://aws.amazon.com/.

Although we have done our best to make this book as didactic and inclusive as possible, you will probably get more out of it if you already have a basic knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes – no advanced knowledge is needed though.
