Connecting to Red Hat OpenShift clusters

Red Hat OpenShift is a platform that manages containerized applications. Turbonomic discovers these containerized applications through the Kubeturbo agent that you deploy to each Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

After the deployment, Kubeturbo automatically adds itself as a Red Hat OpenShift target in the Turbonomic user interface, in Settings > Target Configuration. You do not need to configure any settings in the user interface.

Kubeturbo deployment requirements

Kubeturbo supports Red Hat supported GA versions of Red Hat OpenShift 4.1x, including (but not limited to) Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Service (ROKS), Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), Red Hat OpenShift on Azure (ARO), and Red Hat OpenShift on Google.

Before deploying Kubeturbo, be sure to:

Review the general requirements.
Set up and record the credentials for your Turbonomic instance. You will specify these credentials when you deploy Kubeturbo.

Kubeturbo deployment method

Deploy Kubeturbo through the OperatorHub in Red Hat OpenShift. For deployment instructions, see the following topic:

Monitoring and optimization of Red Hat OpenShift clusters

After connecting to your Red Hat OpenShift clusters, Turbonomic monitors and optimizes the resources that it discovered. See the following topics for more information:
