Introducing Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Here in this blog, we will learn about Red Hat Openshift on oracle cloud infrastructure.
Red Hat and Oracle recently announced that they will be working together more closely to bring Red Hat OpenShift to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We are happy to announce that the Developer Preview of Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Virtual Machines (VMs) is now accessible.
You can use virtual machines (VMs) to install OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Red Hat OpenShift 4.14. Using the Agent-based Installer for restricted networks—networks in which cluster nodes are not allowed to access the internet—or the Assisted Installer for connected deployments, you can install Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using virtual machines.
In order to gather feedback on the functionality, Red Hat is considering implementing some of the features in this Developer Preview release into supported versions. Additionally, a developer preview indicates that Red Hat has not thoroughly tested the feature and that it is not meant for use in production environments or use cases. Furthermore, this feature is offered to enable early adopters and integrators to investigate and engage with novel features before they could be incorporated into a Red Hat product offering. Here is more information regarding the Developer Preview support scope.
The external platform, a new Red Hat OpenShift configuration that permits deep infrastructure customization, is leveraged in the deployment of Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Infrastructure with virtual machines. Partners like Oracle are able to run their own infrastructure management components thanks to the external platform. Oracle originally offers the following two integrations with Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Infrastructure with virtual machines (VMs):
1. Through the embedding of cloud-specific control logic, Oracle Controller Manager (CCM) will give OpenShift awareness of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
2. Oracle Container Storage Interface (CSI) allows dynamic persistent storage provisioning by utilizing native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure storage.
