Malcolm will cover his continuing practical experience of configuring OpenShift on Z clusters for customers and running the OpenShift environment on the Zeus system used by universities across EMEA. He will provide some suggestions and recommendations for real-life use of OpenShift. Some content will remain from last year's GSE presentation and some will be new, covering changes and enhancements to OpenShift that have arrived in the last year.
This session is aimed at those who are running or intending to run OpenShift clusters on Z and are interested in the real-life practicalities and issues that are sometimes difficult to find or recognise as important in all the documentation. It is not an introduction to OpenShift itself, nor does it describe how to install or do basic configuration of an installed OpenShift cluster.
