The purpose of this article is to describe a solution to an issue that you may have faced when using Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation in a cloud environment. Specifically, we’re looking at how to address the demand for more resources, more nodes and more Object Storage Devices (OSDs) as an OpenShift Data Foundation deployment matures.In this article you’ll find a step-by-step procedure in order to migrate the data from the existing OSDs to new ones with a bigger size, in order to manage more data with the same resources. The procedure avoids data loss, and OpenShift Data Foundation will m ..read more

Peer-pods extends Red Hat OpenShift sandboxed containers to run on any environment without requiring bare-metal servers or nested virtualization support. It does this by extending Kata containers runtime (OpenShift sandboxed containers is built on Kata containers) to handle virtual machine (VM) lifecycle management using cloud provider APIs (AWS, Azure and others) or a third-party hypervisor API such as VMware vSphere. The peer-pods solution is also the foundation for confidential containers on OpenShift.Currently, there is no support for Container Storage Interface (CSI) persistent volumes fo ..read more

Kubernetes is a popular choice among many developers for application deployments, and many of these deployments can benefit from a shared storage layer with greater persistency. Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) is a managed OpenShift integration on AWS developed by Red Hat and jointly supported by AWS and Red Hat.ROSA clusters typically store data on locally attached Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes. Some customers need the underlying data to be persistent and shared across multiple containers, including containers deployed across multiple Availability Zones (AZs). These custome ..read more

Operational resilience is becoming more of a boardroom concern especially so for organizations operating in industries deemed as essential by governements for the functioning of society. Organizations operating IT systems that underpin Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) are required to implement capabilites to protect data and processes against hostile actions, human error and natural disasters. Often when organizations embark on a cloud journey they think of resilience within the context of a single cloud platform. But as events have born out over time a single cloud platform can also ex ..read more
