OpenShift Network Playground Overview

A lab environment wherein we can test all the OpenShift network scenarios

Overview

The OpenShift Network Playground is both web-based and cli-based interface built for advanced OpenShift users that makes it easy to quickly build and test different OpenShift network scenarios.

OpenShift Network Playground enables you to do the following:

• Zero touch installation

• Deploy an OpenShift Baremetal IPI cluster using an single command.

• Deploy Single-stack or Dual-stack cluster Single Node OpenShift cluster.

• Reproduce all the network related scenarios.

• Store and restore multiple OpenShift releases - Saves deployment time.

• Plug in additional network interface

• Fast reproducer using pre-added manifests

• OpenShift node console access and authentication
