Dell EMC published the Red Hat Intel Architecture and Deployment Guides for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform v3.10 in November 2018. This document updates the networking and storage design of Openshift Container Platform v3.10 to align with current practices. Version 3.11 of OpenShift Container Platform has the following new features:
- An administrator-oriented console—An operator is available to install Prometheus with default alerts for the cluster. Grafana dashboards provide deep insight into operating metrics. This console provides advanced technical control with:
- A CaaS environment that tightly integrates with Kubernetes
- AppDev/PaaS experience with standard OpenShift user experience
- Credentials that are shared across consoles, but not sessions
- The administrator-oriented console and the CaaS environment which are hosted on the cluster and are accessible from the openshift-console and openshift-webconsole namespaces
- Expanded node status event reporting assistance with diagnosis of resource utilization
- Protection using RBAC so that metrics are not publicly available
- Application services—Operator-framework driven application services have been added to the OpenShift Container Platform. The Helm operator provides expanded ecosystem content management. Ansible play book automation and execution has been integrated with Ansible Galaxy and now enables viewing, editing, and deletion of the full range of Kubernetes objects:
- Networking—Routes and ingress
- Storage—Persistent Volumes (PVs), Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), and Storage Classes
- Admin—Projects and Namespaces, Nodes, Roles and RoleBindings, CRDs
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform v3.11 provides a consistent, reliable, and Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF)-verified enterprise Kubernetes container platform.
