Azure Red Hat OpenShift Responsibility Matrix

The Matrix outlines the roles of Red Hat and MS Azure for overseeing and maintaining the ARO service. MS and Red Hat teamed to build ARO. This service offers a fully managed OpenShift container platform on the Azure framework. The following is an overview of the tasks that are normally listed in the matrix:

Azure Roles

1. It offers and handles the underlying framework—VMs, storage, networking, and other services—that is needed to host Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

2. Also oversees the actual data centre locations, ensuring the framework hosting ARO clusters is available, dependable, and secure.

3. It offers alerting and monitoring services to find and address problems at the infrastructure level, like network outages or hardware issues.

4. Also make sure that ARO combines seamlessly with other Azure services.

Red Hat Roles

1. Red Hat manages and maintains the OpenShift platform as a whole, as well as the worker nodes and control plane components like the scheduler, etcd, and API server.

2. Red Hat supervises the setup, expansion, and modernization of ARO clusters, ensuring their correct setup and upkeep in compliance with industry standards.

3. Red Hat controls patching and updating the OpenShift platform’s security. It fixes vulnerabilities and keeps it compliant with security steps.

4. Red Hat helps ARO customers by offering support for debugging, performance improvement, and platform-related issue solving.

Shared Roles

1. Red Hat and MS work together to ensure that ARO customers can safely deploy and manage their apps following certain laws and standards, while Azure takes care of the security and compliance of the underlying framework.

2. Customers can protect their data and apps against data loss or outage events by using the backup and disaster recovery capabilities that Red Hat and MS jointly offer for ARO clusters.
