@cloudstrata — OpenShift Pipelines based on Tekton provides a Kubernetes-native CI/CD framework to design and run your pipelines. You do not need a separate CI/CD server to manage or maintain. An important aspect of OpenShift Pipelines is that each step of the CI/CD pipeline runs in its own container thereby allowing each step to be customized as required. A typical CI/CD pipeline is a set of tasks, and each task is a set of steps. Further, a task is run as a Kubernetes Pod, and each step of the task is a separate container in the Pod.

@cloudstrata — In this article I will demonstrate how to prepare and configure Loki and how to use LogForwarder to forward OpenShift logs to this service. In this article, we will use a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (rhel8) server to run our Loki stack, which will be composed of Loki, Grafana and PromTail, we will use podman and podman-compose to manage our stack.

@cloudstrata — One of Red Hat’s customers has configured OpenShift’s log store to send a copy of various monitoring data to an external Elasticsearch cluster. Due to a problem that occurred in this customer’s environment, where part of the data from its external Elasticsearch cluster was lost, it was necessary to develop a way to copy the missing data, through a backup and restore process. There are several ways to make backups as well as direct data transfers from one Elasticsearch Cluster to another, which allows good flexibility to meet different scenarios. We will see some of them in detail in this article.

@cloudstrata — OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) enables backup, restore, and disaster recovery of applications on an OpenShift cluster. Data that can be protected with OADP include Kubernetes resource objects, persistent volumes, and internal images. The OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) is designed to protect Application Workloads on a single OpenShift cluster. Red Hat OpenShift® Data Foundation is software-defined storage for containers. Engineered as the data and storage services platform for Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation helps teams develop and deploy applications quickly and efficiently across clouds.
