Preparing to install InfoScale on Containers

To ensure optimal performance and high availability for InfoScale on Kubernetes, you must configure at least two independent private network interconnects using NICs or aggregated interfaces, utilizing switches to prevent failures. LLT over UDP is the required transport layer; InfoScale recommends to ensure consistent media speed settings across all nodes and switch ports. Additionally, all cluster nodes must have synchronized time settings to maintain accurate event sequencing, and configuring kdump on each node is strongly recommended to facilitate troubleshooting in the event of a kernel crash.

For a secure deployment, implement robust access controls and encryption measures within your OpenShift or Kubernetes environment. This includes using a secure, authenticated image registry with vulnerability scanning, enabling encryption at rest for sensitive data stored in secrets, and enforcing TLS 1.2 or higher with secure cipher suites for API server communication. When using a private registry, ensure appropriate pull secrets are configured in the relevant namespaces to authorize InfoScale operations.
