OpenShift-Kubernetes offers an excellent automated application deployment framework for container-based workloads. Services such as traffic management (load balancing within a cluster and across clusters/regions), service discovery, monitoring/analytics, and security are a critical component of an application deployment framework. Enterprises require a scalable, battle-tested, and robust services fabric to deploy business-critical workloads in production environments. This whitepaper provides an overview of the requirements for such application services and explains how Avi Networks provides a proven services fabric to deploy container based workloads in production environments using OpenShift-Kubernetes clusters.
