OpenShift = Developer

● Application focus.● OpenShift web UI + CLI

CloudForms = Operator

● Platform and underlying infrastructure focus.

● CloudForms web UI

CloudForms is included in OpenShift as the operations management console.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

How many nodes do I actually have

across all my deployments?

Where are my resources located

and how are they connected?

How can I troubleshoot issues across

the stack?

How can I automate common tasks?

5

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

CloudForms continuously discovers your infrastructure in near real time.

CloudForms discovers and

visualizes relationships.

CloudForms cross references

inventory across technologies.

CloudForms offers custom automation

via control policy or UI extensions.

SERVICE HEALTH

Do I have enough spare capacity?

When will I run out?

How I can get notified of issues?

Are my resources sized correctly?

Are my configurations correct and not

drifting?

10

SERVICE HEALTH

CloudForms monitors resource

consumption and shows trends.

CloudForms alerts on performance

thresholds or other events.

CloudForms offers right-sizing

recommendations.

CloudForms enforces configuration

and tracks it over time.

CONFIGURATION AND DRIFT

SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

Do my nodes and containers comply

with my enterprise policy?

Are my developers using untrusted

registries?

Are all my images patched properly?

Do I have containers running from

unpatched images?

17

SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

CloudForms finds and marks nodes non-compliant with policy.

CloudForms allows reporting on

container provenance.

CloudForms scans Containers Images

using OpenSCAP.

CloudForms tracks genealogy between

images and containers.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

How much does my container

infrastructure cost me?

How do I see who is consuming most?

How can I pass through cost to my end

users?

21

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Define cost models for infrastructure and understand your cost.

CloudForms shows top users for CPU,

memory, as well as cost.

Chargeback/showback to projects

based on container utilization.
