Abstract

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a leading enterprise-grade container orchestration platform designed for the rapid deployment of web applications, databases, and microservices. As a Container Orchestration Platform as a Service (PaaS), it leverages open industry standards like CRI-O and Kubernetes, enabling developers to focus on code while the platform manages complex IT operations.

This IBM® Redpaper publication provides a comprehensive guide to understanding, implementing, and managing FlashSystem storage with Red Hat OpenShift, specifically for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Virtualization (OCP-V), within a real-life case study context. It also provides a reference architecture and best practices for this integration.

It is intended for storage administrators, IT architects, Red Hat OpenShift technical specialists, and cloud architects deploying and managing containerized applications on FlashSystem storage within a Red Hat OpenShift environment.
