Configuring your cluster for container-native virtualization
To obtain an evaluation version of OpenShift Container Platform, download a trial from the OpenShift Container Platform home page.
Container-native virtualization works with OpenShift Container Platform by default, however the following installation configurations are recommended:
-
The OpenShift Container Platform cluster is installed on bare metal. Manage your Compute nodes in accordance with the number and size of the virtual machines to host in the cluster.
-
Monitoring is configured in the cluster.
