In this session, we will discuss what you need in terms of resources, network
configuration and capacity planning to deploy Red Hat OpenShift Cluster on z/OS
using z/OS Container Extensions (zCX) with Sysplex Distributor Support. zCX for
OpenShift product allows you to provision and deploy Red Hat OpenShift Cluster
nodes in z/OS as address spaces and use z/OS operational controls to manage
them. We will walkthrough deploying a self-contained Red Hat OpenShift Cluster
nodes on z/OS using the zCX z/OSMF provisioning workflows, configuring sysplex
distributor as Day 2 operation, and discuss the life cycle management of
OpenShift Cluster nodes and upgrade capabilities. Learn how to deploy and setup
infrastructure/bastion services quickly and in an automated way for your
OpenShift Cluster running on zCX. Find out what needed in terms of software and
resource requirements to setup up minimum and highly available Cluster with
trial and licensing options and understand the HA/DR integration with z/OS and
operational benefits.
