OSD on Google Cloud

Limit Egress with Google Secure Web Proxy

In this guide, we will implement egress restrictions for OpenShift Dedicated by using Google’s Secure Web Proxyexternal link (opens in new tab) . Secure Web Proxy is a cloud first service that helps you secure egress web traffic (HTTP/S). OpenShift Dedicated relies on egress being allowed to specific fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), not just IP addresses. Secure Web Proxy provides support for limiting egress web traffic to the FQDNs necessary for the external endpoints that OpenShift Dedicated relies on.

Maximo Application Suite on OpenShift Dedicated Google Cloud Platform ( OSD GCP )

IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is a set of applications for asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance and reliability planning. When combined with Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud ( OSD GCP ), this frees up your Maximo and operations team to focus on what is important to them ( Maximo ) rather than having to worry about managing and building clusters. This document outlines how to get quickly get started with OSD GCP and installing Maximo all through automation.

Limit Egress with Google Cloud NGFW Standard

In this guide, we will implement egress restrictions for OpenShift Dedicated by using Google’s Cloud Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Standardexternal link (opens in new tab) . Cloud NGFW is a fully distributed firewall service that allows fully qualified domain name (FQDN) objects in firewall policy rules. This is necessary for many of the external endpoints that OpenShift Dedicated relies on. The ability to restrict egress traffic using a firewall or other network device is only supported with OpenShift Dedicated clusters deployed using Google Private Service Connect (not yet generally available).

Creating a OSD in GCP with Existing VPCs

Tip The official documentation for installing a OSD cluster in GCP can be found here . For deploy an OSD cluster in GCP using existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) you need to implement some prerequisites that you must create before starting the OpenShift Dedicated installation though the OCM. Prerequisites gcloud CLIexternal link (opens in new tab) jqexternal link (opens in new tab) NOTE: Also the GCloud Shell can be used, and have the gcloud cli among other tools preinstalled.

Create Filestore Storage for OSD in GCP

By default, within OSD in GCP only the GCE-PD StorageClassexternal link (opens in new tab) is available in the cluster. With this StorageClass, only ReadWriteOnce mode is permitted, and the gcePersistentDisks can only be mounted by a single consumer in read-write modeexternal link (opens in new tab) . Because of that, and for provide Storage with Shared Access (RWX) Access Mode to our OpenShift clusters a GCP Filestoreexternal link (opens in new tab) could be used.
