<p>In this blog post, we’ll be going through deploying peer-pods on an OpenShift cluster running in AWS or vSphere cloud infrastructure. We will present how to create the virtual machine (VM) image for your peer-pod and demonstrate how to run workload in a peer-pod. The post assumes familiarity with Red Hat OpenShift and the cloud-provider which is in use.</p> <p>Peer-pods is an extension of <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/openshift-sandboxed-containers">OpenShift sandboxed containers</a>, and
