Configure storage for OpenShift Container Platform services

Use Fusion Data Foundation for core OpenShift Container Platform services, such as image registry, monitoring, and logging.

The process for configuring storage for these services depends on the infrastructure used in your Fusion Data Foundation deployment.

Warning: Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for these services. If the storage for these critical services runs out of space, the cluster becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover.

IBM recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. For more information, see Observability > Monitoring > About OpenShift Container Platform monitoring > Monitoring stack for Red Hat OpenShift section in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform product documentation for Modifying retention time for Prometheus metrics data.

If you do run out of storage space for these services, contact IBM Support.
