For the Novice Intermediate Level Deep Dives & Further Learning PaaS and container technologies are often very closely tied with DevOps. In fact, we often confuse the adoption of "next-gen" technology stacks like OpenShift with "DevOps adoption". While it’s true that certain automation and cloud technologies fit very nicely into a DevOps frame of mind, it’s important to understand that employing DevOps means much more than just having the right technology, or writing automation scripts.
This article proposes a reference architecture for a Highly Available installation of OpenShift. We will outline the architecture of such an installation and walk through the installation process.

After having gone through the process of building an OpenShift environment, it’s important to go through a few validation steps to ensure that all components are in proper working order. This document walks you through those steps.
Validate Nodes Validate Status of Default Project Check that Registry Is Running Check that Router is Running Run Diagnostics Create an Application But wait, something didn’t work! Other Resources Validate Nodes # oc get nodes Check the output to ensure that:
This document is designed to ensure your OpenShift cluster nodes are ready for the installation of OpenShift via the advanced ansible installer
Ensure ssh keys are propagated for ansible installer DNS lookup on each node in your cluster DNS reverse lookup on each node OCP 3.3 install repos OCP 3.4 install repos Show the repos expected and enabled Are updates required before you install OpenShift Is subscription manager active To list all repos recognized by your rhel 7 nodes Ensure docker is enabled Ensure NetworkManager is enabled Check the sha256sum of a docker 1.
