text: **5.3 Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.11 on IBM**
  **PowerVC**
  
  In this section, we provide guidelines and considerations for deploying and managing Red 
  Hat OpenShift Container Platform on IBM Power Virtualization Center (PowerVC). 
  
  Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that provides 
  developers and IT organizations with a cloud application platform for deploying new 
  applications on secure, scalable resources with minimal configuration and management 
  overhead. It allows developers to create and deploy applications by delivering a consistent 
  environment for both development and during the runtime lifecycle that requires no server 
  management. 
  
  IBM PowerVC uses OpenStack technology to provide enterprise virtualization and cloud 
  management for IBM Power Systems, which provides all of the necessary capabilities for a 
  fully featured Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) private cloud solution. 
  
  **Note:**The minimum version for PowerVC is 1.4.3 Fix Pack 1. This version adds IBM 
  PowerVC FlexVolume Driver support for OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.
