The installation workflows documented in this section are for IBM Cloud VPC infrastructure environments. IBM Cloud Classic is not supported at this time. For more information on the difference between Classic and VPC infrastructures, see IBM’s documentation.
Prerequisites
You reviewed details about the OKD installation and update processes.
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
IBM Cloud using installer-provisioned infrastructure is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/. |
Requirements for installing OKD on IBM Cloud VPC
Before installing OKD on IBM Cloud VPC, you must create a service account and configure an IBM Cloud VPC account. See Configuring an IBM Cloud VPC account for details about creating an account, enabling API services, configuring DNS, IBM Cloud VPC account limits, and supported IBM Cloud VPC regions.
You must manually manage your cloud credentials when installing a cluster to IBM Cloud VPC. Do this by configuring the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) for manual mode before you install the cluster. For more information, see Configuring IAM for IBM Cloud VPC.
Choosing a method to install OKD on IBM Cloud VPC
You can install OKD on IBM Cloud VPC using installer-provisioned infrastructure. This process involves using an installation program to provision the underlying infrastructure for your cluster. Installing OKD on IBM Cloud VPC using user-provisioned infrastructure is not supported at this time.
See Installation process for more information about installer-provisioned installation processes.
Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure
You can install a cluster on IBM Cloud VPC infrastructure that is provisioned by the OKD installation program by using one of the following methods:
Installing a customized cluster on IBM Cloud VPC: You can install a customized cluster on IBM Cloud VPC infrastructure that the installation program provisions. The installation program allows for some customization to be applied at the installation stage. Many other customization options are available post-installation.
Installing a cluster on IBM Cloud VPC with network customizations: You can customize your OKD network configuration during installation, so that your cluster can coexist with your existing IP address allocations and adhere to your network requirements.
