Technical requirements
As we are covering the architecture side of OpenShift in this chapter, you still don't need access to any specific hardware or software to follow this chapter, but this will be expected some chapters ahead. However, it is important you have some pre-existing knowledge of OpenShift and Kubernetes for you to achieve the best possible result from this chapter.
Prerequisites
This chapter is intended to be for Information Technology (IT) architects that already have some basic knowledge of Kubernetes or OpenShift use. That said, we are not covering in this chapter basic concepts such as what a Pod, Service, or Persistent Volume is. But if you don't know these basic concepts yet, don't freak out! We have prepared a list of recommended training and references for you in the last chapter of this book. We suggest you to take the Kubernetes Basics and Kube by Example before moving forward with this chapter.
