OpenShift Virtualization - Example Architectures

These example architecture documents provide reference designs for deploying and operating Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization in enterprise environments. Each document presents a complete, end-to-end architectural scenario—grounded in explicit requirements, constraints, and assumptions—to illustrate how platform capabilities translate into concrete design decisions across compute, storage, networking, availability, and cluster configuration. The goal is not to define a single “correct” implementation, but to demonstrate repeatable patterns and tradeoffs that architects and platform teams can adapt to their own environments.

The intended audience for these documents includes enterprise and virtualization architects, platform engineers, and OpenShift administrators responsible for Day 1 planning and design. The content focuses on architectural intent and platform readiness rather than step-by-step installation or Day 2 operational procedures, which vary by organization and infrastructure vendor. By emphasizing design rationale and integration points instead of vendor-specific instructions, these example architectures serve as a foundation for informed decision-making, internal standards development, and production-grade OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization deployments.
