This guide describes the infrastructure that is required to deploy and operate OpenShift Container Platform and provides a validated process for deploying a production-ready OpenShift Container Platform cluster. The guide provides the information that you need to facilitate readiness for Day 2 operations. Topics that the guide addresses include:

• Setting up switch configuration
• Preparing the CSAH node
• Installing OpenShift and creating a cluster
• Scaling OpenShift cluster nodes
• Platform user authentication
• Deploying applications
• Setting routes for applications
• OpenShift cluster monitoring

This guide provides a reference design for deploying version 4.2 of OpenShift Container Platform on Dell EMC PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC Networking switches. Dell EMC strongly recommends that you complete the validation steps that the guide describes and ensure that you are satisfied that your application can operate smoothly before proceeding with development or production use.
