Pattern Capabilities

This pattern delivers a comprehensive enterprise-grade OpenShift management solution with the following key features:

Core Infrastructure

  • Deploys an opinionated Hub Cluster configuration featuring:
    • Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM)
    • OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD)
    • OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton)
    • OpenShift Data Foundation (Rook.io)
    • Ansible Automation Platform (Additional Subscription required)
    • Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (Stackrox)
    • Quay Registry with Container Security
    • OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt)
    • IBM Infrastructure Automation (IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps 3.2)
    • Instana
    • Turbonomics
    • External Secrets
    • RHACM Observability

Multi-Cloud Management

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deploy and manage OpenShift clusters across multiple environments:
    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    • Microsoft Azure
    • IBM Cloud
    • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
    • VMware vSphere
    • Bare-metal environments
    • Single Node OpenShift for on-premise deployments

Cost Optimization

  • Cluster Hibernation: Automatically hibernate managed OpenShift clusters on AWS, Azure, and GCP when not in use, reducing resource consumption and lowering cloud costs

Automated Cluster Management

  • Auto-Discovery: Automatically discover OpenShift clusters using Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager credentials
  • Seamless Integration: Import discovered clusters as managed clusters with automatic OpenShift GitOps configuration

Centralized Application Management

  • Unified GitOps Control: Deploy and manage applications across your entire OpenShift fleet
  • Global Visibility: Monitor and manage applications across all clusters, regardless of their location (cloud or on-premise)

Enterprise Governance

  • Automated Policy Enforcement: Apply consistent policies and governance across all managed clusters
  • Cross-Environment Compliance: Maintain compliance standards across your entire OpenShift estate

Advanced Infrastructure Management

  • Flexible Instana Deployment:
    • Self-hosted option using OpenShift Virtualization
    • Automated deployment to IaaS environments via IBM Infrastructure Automation
  • IaaS Integration: Automatic connection to IaaS environments for streamlined virtual machine deployment
  • Pipeline-Driven Automation: Deploy virtual machines using IBM Infrastructure Automation and OpenShift Pipelines

Application Deployment

  • Automated Application Delivery: Configure automatic application deployment to managed clusters via OpenShift GitOps
  • Reference Implementation: Includes example deployment of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration using GitOps principles

Edge Computing Support

  • Zero Touch Provisioning: Automated deployment of managed OpenShift clusters to bare-metal nodes
  • Edge-Ready: Supports both near and far edge deployment scenarios
