Proxy environment

A proxy environment is a production environment that denies direct access to the internet and provides an available HTTP or HTTPS proxy instead.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is configured to use a proxy by modifying the proxy object for existing clusters or by configuring the proxy settings in the install-config.yaml file for new clusters.

IBM supports deployment of Fusion Data Foundation in proxy environments when OpenShift Container Platform has been configured. For more information, see Networking > Configuring network settings > Configuring the cluster-wide proxy in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform product documentation.
