With the UPI method, all the required OpenShift infrastructure services and nodes must be deployed to deploy the Red Hat OpenShift cluster. This installation method can also be used to ensure that client clusters use only container images that satisfy their organizational controls on external content.

This method can be used to install a cluster that does not require an active internet connection to obtain the software components. The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with zCX can be installed on z/OS systems that are provisioned in a restricted or disconnected network by using an internal mirror of the installation release content. ZCX Foundation for Red Hat OpenShift supports the User Provisioned Infrastructure (UPI) method to install Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on zCX.

For installation instructions, see the documentation on zCX for Red Hat OpenShift. The installation of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform can be performed using the included IBM z/OSMF workflows. Software in a self-contained Red Hat OpenShift cluster on z/OS while delivering z/OS Modernize the native z/OS ecosystem through an agile andįlexible deployment of containerized Linux on IBM Z applications and By leveraging zCX Foundation for Red Hat OpenShift on z/OS, clients can extend and The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform provides enterprise-levelĬontainer orchestration and management capabilities related toĬontainerized software. ZCX Foundation for Red Hat OpenShift gives clients capabilities to install and run Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on z/OS using zCX.

ZCX Foundation for Red Hat OpenShift 1.1 runs on the following IBM Z® servers: IBM zCX Foundation for Red Hat OpenShift 1.1 provides installation tooling, runtime capability on z/OS, and entitlement to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

This enables clients to take advantage of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and exploit z/OS qualities of service (QoS), such as scalability, availability, integrated disaster recovery, backup, workload management, and integration with z/OS security. The availability of Red Hat OpenShift on z/OS with zCX enables a strong union between z/OS and the container orchestration benefits of Red Hat OpenShift. That have an affinity for z/OS by bringing those applicationsĪnd workloads closer to z/OS applications and data without a This gives clients the ability to co-locate applications and workloads Linux® on IBM Z applications and software within z/OS. Red Hat OpenShift running on IBM® z/OS®,Ĭontainer Extensions (zCX), enables clients to integrate containerized
