Deploying on OpenShift and Cloud Pak for Integration

You can install API Connect in an OpenShift environment or as the API Management capability in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration.

The recommended configuration is to have a single operator in the global namespace, managing multiple API Connect instances in separate namespaces.

Attention: If you want to configure FIPS support for API Connect, you must enable FIPS on the cluster as part of the initial OpenShift deployment. You cannot modify an existing cluster to enable FIPS support. For more information, see Configuring FIPS support on OpenShift.
