Description: OpenShift Networking provides networking capabilities for applications running on OpenShift, a container platform based on Kubernetes. This networking solution is essential for communication between different components of applications, as well as for interaction with the outside world. OpenShift Networking enables the creation of virtual networks, management of security policies, and traffic routing, all efficiently and scalably. Its main features include integration with service discovery, the ability to deploy load balancers, and the possibility of configuring overlay networks that facilitate connectivity between containers. Additionally, OpenShift Networking supports multiple networking models, allowing developers to choose the best option based on their specific needs. This flexibility is crucial in agile development environments, where speed and adaptability are essential. In summary, OpenShift Networking not only optimizes the connectivity and security of applications but also aligns with ‘Configuration as Code’ practices, enabling development teams to manage network infrastructure programmatically and reproducibly.
