Containing yourself with OpenShift running VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) on VxRail
Red Hat OpenShift is a container application platform running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) and built on top of Kubernetes. In addition, OpenShift includes everything you need for running a secure infrastructure and operations across private and public clouds, like a container runtime, networking, monitoring, container registry, authentication, and authorization above the Linux container host.
Why OpenShift with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) on VxRail? Using VCF on VxRail provides an enterprise solution that includes security, workload isolation, lifecycle management, and more. In addition, OpenShift provides its security and lifecycle management for the components of OpenShift, such as RHEL CoreOS, K8s, and the clusters. The combined outcome can be an enhanced solution for OpenShift customers using VCF on VxRail.
OpenShift using VCF on VxRail leverages VMware leading virtualization technologies, including vSphere, NSX-T, and vSAN. This allows businesses to make better decisions, provide a faster outcome, and reduce cost and risk.
Using VCF and workload domains can provide environment isolation separating production from development operations. And with the scalability of VCF on VxRail, growth is manageable, and control is handled at the VCF level, allowing the OpenShift layer to scale out.
