Many organisations have had difficulty deploying Openshift Container Platform on Azure marketplace. Furthermore, customising the marketplace cluster and including the operations and developments assets to be production-ready is not part of the marketplace offering. The Leonardo Base Platform Stack is more than just an Openshift Container Platform cluster. The Base Platform Stack is typically deployed in a highly available architecture. This includes multiple master, infrastructure, and application nodes to ensure there are no single points of failure. Leonardo has been delivering Openshift for customers, both on premise and in the cloud for customers since early 2017. The Base Platform Stack evolved from this ongoing experience in early 2018 and has been road tested with many customers.
