Setting up your cluster and local workstation

Set up your Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster and ensure that the required tools are installed on your local workstation.

Setting up your cluster

Set up the Red Hat OpenShift cluster where you want to install IBM App Connect. For information about setting up your cluster, see the Red Hat Open Shift documentation. For version information, see the Release notes for the latest release.

A set of tools can be used to manage the cluster, containers, and other resources.

Install the following tools on your local workstation (if they are not yet installed):

OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc): For installation instructions, see Getting started with the CLI in the Red Hat OpenShift documentation. Use the version of oc that’s provided for the Red Hat OpenShift version on which IBM App Connect will be installed.
Docker: For installation instructions, see Docker Documentation.
Optional: Kubernetes CLI (kubectl): For installation instructions, see Install and Set Up kubectl in the Kubernetes documentation.
