This document addresses the installation and configuration of Red Hat OpenShift. Installation of the Cisco PSC and Cisco UCS are addressed in other documents. The installation and configuration of Red Hat OpenShift in this document is defined specifically to create a solution for the ordering, provisioning and management of OpenShift services through the Cisco PSC. Users should be qualified in the installation and configuration of Red Hat OpenShift, Cisco PSC, and the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS).
The two most critical problems facing IT departments today are the continuing costs of supporting legacy applications, and the need to be more responsive to service demands on a tight budget.
This document recognizes these two critical issues, and provides a solution that addresses the requirements for both with a single infrastructure for ordering, provisioning, and management of services. This design guide documents a solution providing OpenShift PaaS services through the Cisco PSC.
This design guide provides a comprehensive explanation of procedures required to provide Red Hat OpenShift services through the Cisco Prime Services Catalog. Details of system design and architecture to support the services are explained, including the deployment models for services, and guidelines for implementation and configuration. It is recommended that best practices be followed when deploying Red Hat OpenShift services through the Cisco Prime Services Catalog.
This design and implementation guide provides a comprehensive first step to delivering IaaS and PaaS services through the Cisco PSC.
IT departments are facing two critical problems today:
IT managers need to solve these two critical issues, while also reaching the objectives for high availability for existing day-to-day operations.
