Differences from a production OpenShift installation

{rh-prod} is a regular OpenShift installation with the following notable differences:

• The {prod} OpenShift cluster is ephemeral and is not intended for production use.

• It uses a single node which behaves as both a master and worker node.

• It disables the machine-config and monitoring Operators by default.

  • These disabled Operators cause the corresponding parts of the web console to be non-functional.

  • For the same reason, there is no upgrade path to newer OpenShift versions.

• The OpenShift instance runs in a virtual machine. This may cause other differences, particularly with external networking.
