Platform Architecture
Canonical hub for the platform domain: operating model, service delivery, and OpenShift runtime architecture.
Scope
In scope
- Platform service delivery and automation: WP-08 Platform Services and Automation
- Platform service catalog and onboarding flows across
Delivery Work Packages - OpenShift runtime architecture and lifecycle via openshift-concept-overview, openshift-virtualization-architecture, and openshift-ai-cluster-setup
- Cluster governance and lifecycle management with ACM/MCE patterns as the accepted production baseline.
- Controlled registry and image distribution through quay-registry-architecture and red-hat-quay.
Current baseline direction: OpenShift-centered runtime, GitOps reconciliation, and Location B Datacenter Services controls, while Location A remains an ACI-scoped transitional OpenShift AI lane.
Out of scope
- Physical network topology and cabling details (see Network Architecture)
Key Concepts
- Cluster and platform operating model: openshift-concept-overview
- DC 3.0 capability roadmap and maturity gates: dc30-capability-roadmap
- CaaS offering roadmap: clusters-as-a-service-offering
- OpenShift AI runtime sub-area (DC-A transitional production lane): openshift-ai-cluster-setup
- OpenShift Virtualization target architecture (Location B): openshift-virtualization-architecture
- Transitional Location A ACI scope controls for OpenShift AI: topic-network-aci-location-a-ai-fasttrack
- Rollout governance and cutover controls: adr-004-single-active-phased-rollout, wp-01-dc3-0-network-and-supporting-services, wp-08-platform-services-automation, wp-16-business-continuity-and-disaster-recovery
- Git-based delivery and reconciliation: Automation
- Controlled image and artifact registry: quay-registry-architecture via red-hat-quay implementing registry
- Platform observability baseline: security-operations-center
- Secondary execution lens: Delivery Work Packages
- Secondary DC 3.0 building-block lens: DC 3.0 Building Block Lens

Principles Coverage
- Automation First - delivery and reconciliation are Git-driven.
- Self-Service Platform - platform capabilities are exposed as reusable services.
- Cost Transparency - platform services should expose measurable usage and cost signals.

- Add or update platform/runtime ADRs under
30-decisions/platform/(see way-of-working). - Add stable platform facts to
40-facts/. - Track DC-A transitional-lane delivery execution in wp-21-openshift-ai-dc-a-transitional-production-lane.
