Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Z and LinuxONE Cookbook

Implementation architectural considerations

This chapter describes some of the key requirements and options when deploying Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Z or LinuxONE. Selecting a particular architecture does not necessarily mean locking it in as the final state. In practical terms, you can begin by deploying a Red Hat OpenShift cluster onto a single LPAR within an IBM Z or LinuxONE central processor complex (CPC). Once the cluster is up and running, you may then decide to distribute the cluster nodes across multiple LPARs for better resource utilization, ...
