# OpenShift Container Platform

This guide offers recommended configurations and settings unique to the Openshift Container Platform (OCP) in Data Science & AI Workbench. These should be used to augment the generic requirements offered on our [primary requirements page](/docs/data-science/latest/environment-prep/byok8s-prep).

## DNS / SSL

OpenShift imposes a unique subdomain structure to the applications that
run on its clusters; for example:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda.apps.openshift.example.com
*.anaconda.apps.openshift.example.com
```

When creating the SSL certificate, make sure that they are constructed
for this multi-level domain name.

<Note>
  Note that even though your OCP cluster might already be configured to serve SSL, Workbench still requires its own SSL certificate due to the usage of wildcards.
</Note>

## Helm chart customization

OpenShift uses a different DNS server address than the one assumed by default in
the helm chart. To ensure that the application uses the proper address, add the
following lines, respecting indentation, to your `values.yaml` overrides file:

```yaml theme={null}
git:
  default:
    proxy:
      dns-server: dns-default.openshift-dns.svc.cluster.local
```
