    Posted on

    I have a generic question here and I have just started using Openshift enterprise and Origin but I would like to know the details on Cloudforms UI, I know that CloudForms UI can do a lot of things including managing Openshift instances but I would like to know the following in terms of managing Openshift instance, can CloudForms be able to do the following :

    1. Order New Openshift environments[For ex, DEV, UAT and PROD], where I could say how many nodes and other details I need for those environments?
    2. Could I be able to plug-in custom tools like ELK/Splunk or AppDynamics to the ordered environments as part of provisioning or later?
    3. Could I be able to populate locally build images and publish it to all the users for using them? For ex: Suppose my middleware teams build images for Tomcat, Nginx etc and they could be able to publish it in CloudForm and I could be able to add them to my newly ordered environments through the Cloudforms UI, could this be done?
    4. Could I add multiple registries and integrate them with my ordered environments.
    5. Does it have all the features that Openshift Enterprise console has? like scanling, S2i etc.
    6. Could I promote my images from one environment to other through the Cloudforms UI?
    7. Can I integrate CI/CD tools and build environments with my ordered environments?
    8. The RBAC in CloudForms can it be modified and catered to suit my requirements/ could this be customized to suit any firms needs?
    9. Could I replicate my DEV openshift ENV to UAT and then to PROD environments? I did see replicators tab in the videos.
    10. Can a charge back model be implemented in the Cloudforms UI ? if its already there then could be customized?

    What I am trying to find here is to see if CloudForms can provide an end to end Openshift solution. The end user must only have his/her code ready, rest everything could be within the UI.

    Kindly let us know what all are possible and what all are not.
