Red Hat OpenShift – Deployment and Support by ASAP
Red Hat OpenShift is an industry-standard container platform built on Kubernetes, providing high levels of automation, security, and manageability. ASAP delivers end-to-end deployment, integration, and support services for organizations building, scaling, and managing cloud-native applications across private, public, or hybrid cloud environments.
Technical Features and Architecture of OpenShift
Container Orchestration with a Kubernetes Core
OpenShift builds upon Kubernetes, extending it with enhanced security, centralized cluster management, advanced networking capabilities, and automatic scaling based on workload, ensuring stable and reliable application performance.
CI/CD and DevOps Automation
OpenShift includes integrated Jenkins and Tekton Pipelines, enabling comprehensive CI/CD processes—automatic image builds from Git repositories, version control via Source-to-Image (S2I), integration with GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Actions, and automated deployments across multiple environments.
Operator Framework and Infrastructure-as-Code
ASAP implements OpenShift using the Operator Framework, automating management of databases, middleware, and network services. Infrastructure is provisioned and maintained using Ansible Automation Platform, ensuring full reproducibility and traceability.
Integrated Security
OpenShift offers RBAC and OAuth 2.0 / LDAP for access control, SCAP and CIS compliance profiles, SELinux container-level security, and TLS encryption for inter-component communication. ASAP adopts a Zero Trust architecture and proven cybersecurity best practices when implementing OpenShift in sensitive and mission-critical environments.
Monitoring, Logging, and Observability
OpenShift integrates Prometheus, Grafana, and the Elasticsearch/Fluentd/Kibana (EFK) stack for complete observability and analytics. ASAP configures these tools for centralized log management, resource and microservice monitoring, and automated alerting via Alertmanager, e-mail, Slack, or Zabbix.
