Chapter 5. Deploying Red Hat Quay on public cloud
Red Hat Quay can run on public clouds, either in standalone mode or where OpenShift Container Platform itself has been deployed on public cloud. A full list of tested and supported configurations can be found in the Red Hat Quay Tested Integrations Matrix at https://access.redhat.com/articles/4067991.
Recommendation: If Red Hat Quay is running on public cloud, then you should use the public cloud services for Red Hat Quay backend services to ensure proper high availability and scalability.
