Platforms

The IT Center maintains various platform options for services.

Container Platform

The University of Helsinki has a centralised, shared container platform, RedHat OpenShift.

There are two shared clusters, testing and production. Each project gains access to both clusters.

Using the container platform requires registering the project to platform support. All project members belonging to the IAM-group receive login access to OpenShift and gain admin privileges for the project.
