openshift/install-platform

OpenShift cluster agent configuration path

OpenShift Platform

This parameter defines the method of installation that should be used for installing OpenShift.

The none value will generate an UPI-based installation. Other parameters will be used to control the number and server role elements. Machines are gathered from a pool and assigned to roles. Optionally, openshift/role can be applied to the machines to bias the role of the node. Load balancer and bootstrap nodes are built for this process.

The baremetal vaule will generate an IPI-based installation. Machines are gathered from a pool and assigned to roles. Optionally, openshift/role can be applied to the machines to bias the role of the node. Only workers and controlplane nodes are built.

Requirements

  • Must be one of the defined values

Usage

Available roles: 

none          # Represents an UPI-based installation - DRP will manage all nodes
baremetal     # Represents an IPI-based installation - DRP will build machine items for OpenShift.
custom        # User provided platform section - requires setting parameter `openshift/install-platform-template`

Platform requirements: - none: UPI-based dynamic cluster built using ignition files - baremetal: IPI-based dynamic cluster built using openshift-installer built pxe files - custom: User provided template that will be driven like baremetal pieces.
