There are many methods to deploy Red Hat OpenShift. The size of your Red Hat OpenShift cluster will depend on the specific requirements of your applications (not just Ansible Automation Platform). Factors to consider include the number of users accessing the cluster, the amount of data and resources that the applications require to run, and your scalability and redundancy requirements.

For details on how to deploy Red Hat OpenShift, visit the Install Guide

In addition to the install guide above, review the OpenShift 4 Resources Configuration: Methodology and Tools blog article to assist in determining the appropriate cluster size based on your needs.

Automation hub requires ReadWriteMany file-based storage, Azure Blob storage, or Amazon S3-compliant storage for operation so that multiple pods can access shared content, such as collections.

This reference environment takes advantage of creating an Amazon S3 bucket to fulfill the request of ReadWriteMany storage. Details Appendix D, Create an Amazon S3 bucket.
