In the dynamic landscape of multi-cluster architectures, finding reliable and practical resources can be a challenge. Amidst the scarcity of such references, the “ OpenShift Multi-Cluster Management Handbook ” by Giovanni Fontana and Rafael Pecora emerges as a beacon for those navigating the intricacies of this evolving field.
From the outset, the authors delve into the significance of multi-cluster architectures, addressing vendor lock-in concerns and the unique challenges they present. The book provides a comprehensive exploration of OpenShift components, elucidating details and offering insights into compute and storage sizing through practical examples.
The second part of the book is a treasure trove of knowledge, guiding readers through typical OpenShift deployment scenarios with meticulous steps. This section not only covers troubleshooting but also imparts best practices across various aspects, including OpenShift, network configurations, and security considerations.
Part three introduces OpenShift Pipelines using Tekton and delves into OpenShift GitOps with Argo CD, gradually advancing to Multi-cluster GitOps and management strategies. The container of essential chapters encompasses topics crucial for a holistic understanding.
Particular highlights include discussions on Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (RHACS), adding depth to the reader’s comprehension.
This handbook is a highly recommended resource for those seeking proficiency in OpenShift Multi-Cluster Management. Thanks to Linda Pearson and Packt for providing this invaluable resource.
