Hi
@Vaibhav MehraWhat is the scope of your PoC?
The tools you listed work fine without APIC.
And APIC works fine without them.
Regarding scalability.
A new container requires cpu, memory, storage, networking; so does an additional OVA.
The price per resource differs from cloud provider to cloud provider.
You could deploy OpenShift into VMWare.
Then use OpenShift to create a K8S cluster where you have APIC running in the containers.
Or you use APIC as wrapper for OpenShift.

Subject: APIC v10 K8S vs OpenShift vs VMWare
Hi Members
I am interested in knowing the key differences between an APIC v10 installation on K8S vs VMWare vs Openshift? I understand the OVA deployment internally creates an K8S clusters however I have heard some IBMers say that K8S is better choice for scalability purposes as new containers can be added at runtime however my current experience with V5 tells me that scaling OVAs is not too complicated either. However I do think that a container based platform might be more future safe than OVA based.
Also would like to know which one would be a better choice to do a PoC set up? Also is it supported on public cloud provider services such as Azure kubernetes services or openshift environment?
Regards
