Preparing for an Enterprise deployment

Make sure that you prepare your environment and install the necessary software before you go to the resources to install the IBM certified software.

About this task

The administrator must make sure that the target Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Service (ROKS) cluster on IBM Cloud® or private OpenShift cluster meets all of the necessary requirements. Make sure that the client you connect with has all the necessary tools.

Tip: If possible, delegate or at least work with subject matter experts to help you prepare each pattern that you intend to install. Patterns can be installed with a minimum amount of customization with default secrets and configurations. However, you are more than likely to want to customize a pattern at some point. Therefore, you must assess the configuration parameters with the help of the software experts to identify the values that you need to provide to the custom resource.
