Workshop

OpenShift powered by Isovalent: from high performance platform to secured application delivery

Virtual

About this session

Take the role of an OpenShift platform owner preparing for the launch of a new customer-facing application. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use Isovalent Enterprise Platform capabilities integrated into the cluster: tiered network policy with Isovalent Networking for Kubernetes, LoadBalancer IP allocation and Cilium BGP advertisement, Hubble Timescape for retained flow visibility, and Isovalent Runtime Security with Tetragon.

You’ll begin with a healthy application path, apply platform guardrails, advertise the Storefront VIP, allow the intended customer traffic, and review dropped and forwarded flows in Timescape. You’ll then apply a focused runtime policy to the payments workload and verify the native Tetragon event.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • Apply Admin- and Normal-tier network policies.
  • Verify LoadBalancer IP allocation and Cilium BGP routes and publish using Gateway-API.
  • Use Hubble Timescape to understand traffic and policy changes.
  • Apply and verify a narrowly scoped Tetragon runtime control.
  • Connect networking, observability, and runtime security in an OpenShift operating model.

Step into the role of an OpenShift platform owner preparing a customer-facing application for launch. In this hands-on workshop, learn how Isovalent brings together high-performance networking, policy enforcement, traffic visibility, BGP-based service advertisement, and runtime security to help you deliver applications with confidence.
