Abstract

This IBM® Redbooks® publication educates and prepares its readers to understand and enter the multicloud era.

This book takes you on a journey to understand the multicloud concept. This book provides a snapshot of the IBM Cloud® Solution, and it uses generally available and supported software and hardware resources to help you understand the following items:


  • The rationale and methodology of this publication.
  • New concepts and terminology.
  • Reasons for moving native workloads to the cloud.
  • Red Hat OpenShift V4.x on Power Systems.
  • Reasons for using IBM Power Systems for moving to the cloud.
  • Reference architecture for Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Power Systems.
  • Installation planning, considerations, and guidelines to help provide an optimal system configuration and implementation.
  • Implementation details for IBM Cloud Pak® for Multicloud Management, and IBM Cloud Pak for Data.
  • Use cases to complement the theoretical concepts.


The goal of this publication is to describe the journey to implement an IBM Cloud Solution by using Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Cloud Paks on IBM Power Systems and theoretical knowledge to learn the concepts, perform hands-on exercises to practice the theory, and document these findings in sample scenarios.

The book addresses topics for developers, IT architects, IT specialists, sellers, and anyone looking to implement Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Cloud Paks on IBM Power Systems. Moreover, this book provides technical content to transfer how-to-skills to the support teams, and solution guidance to the sales team. This book complements the documentation that is available at IBM Knowledge Center and aligns with the educational offerings that are provided by IBM Systems Education.
