OpenShift Commons Briefing Summary
In this briefing, James Kelly, Guilhem Tesseyre, and Savithru Lokanath from Juniper discussed and demonstrated how the OpenContrail/OpenShift integration is deployed, works, and adds value beyond providing SDN multitenancy and micro-segmentation. OpenContrail is ideal for collapsing OpenStack and OpenShift SDNs, and adding advanced networking to OpenShift atop any infrastructure. OpenContrail for OpenShift automates the full lifecycle of its networking virtual domains, tenants, subnets, and security policies, all in sync with the lifecycle and workflow of OpenShift users and application builds, deployments and services.
The OpenContrail community has an integration with OpenShift that is now also commercially available through the combination of Juniper Networks Contrail Networking with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
