OpenShift architectural concepts and best practices
In this section, we will discuss the main concepts related to the OpenShift architecture design and some best practices you should consider. In general, when we are designing an architecture for an OpenShift cluster, the aspects in the following table need to be defined accordingly:
Details of how to address these aspects (deployment, configurations, and so on) will be covered from Chapter 5, OpenShift Deployment, onward. Another key point to note is that we are still focusing on one single OpenShift cluster only—the main objective here is to help you to define a standard cluster architecture that best fits your case. In the next chapter, we will explore aspects you need to consider when working with multiple environments, clusters, and providers.
In the following sections, we are going to walk through each of these points, highlighting the most important items you need to cover.
