This IBM® Redpaper publication describes how to deploy Red Hat OpenShift V4.3 on IBM Power Systems servers.

This book presents reference architectures for deployment, initial sizing guidelines for server, storage, and IBM Cloud® Paks. Moreover, this publication delivers information about initial supported Power System configurations for Red Hat OpenShift V4.3 deployment (bare metal, IBM PowerVM® LE LPARs, and others).

This book serves as a guide for how to deploy Red Hat OpenShift V4.3 and provide start guidelines and recommended practices for implementing it on Power Systems and completing it with the supported IBM Cloud Paks.

The publication addresses topics for developers, IT architects, IT specialists, sellers, and anyone who wants to implement a Red Hat OpenShift V4.3 and IBM Cloud Paks on IBM Power Systems. This book also provides technical content to transfer how-to skills to the support teams, and solution guidance to the sales team.

This book compliments the documentation that is available at IBM Knowledge Center, and also aligns with the educational offerings that are provided by the IBM Systems Technical Education (SSE).
