SBB OpenShift Virtualization

Service Information

OpenShift Virtualization is a candidate solution building block for the translated DC 3.0 ABB model. It remains candidate until the responsible architects confirm service ownership, support model, and acceptance criteria. The draft target architecture is openshift-virtualization-architecture.

ItemInformation
Solution architectTo be assigned during SBB review.
CMDB numberNot assigned yet.

Cost and Responsibilities

Cost and responsibility allocation must be confirmed by the managing organizational domain before this SBB is promoted from candidate to selected.

Cost

DescriptionUnitPrice
Platform or service capacityConsumption metric to be definedPricing model to be defined during service design

Additional Specifications

Cost attribution should support service, tenant, environment, and lifecycle reporting where the ABB exposes self-service consumption.

Responsibilities

Managing Party

The managing party operates the SBB baseline, lifecycle, access model, and integration contracts for the implemented ABBs.

Consuming Party

The consuming party owns workload intent, correct use of the exposed interfaces, data classification, and application-level configuration.

Technical Architecture

OpenShift Virtualization realizes one or more DC 3.0 ABBs through a concrete product or managed-service pattern. The technical architecture must be expanded by the solution architect before selection.

Technical Documentation

The draft technical architecture and its release-pinned acceptance gates are documented in openshift-virtualization-architecture. It informs candidate review and does not itself promote this SBB to selected.
