Customizing Red Hat OpenShift agent installs for repeatable cluster builds on bare metal
Red Hat OpenShift provides lots of different install mechanisms to cater to different use cases. I’ve been using validated patterns extensively for building reference architectures and test systems. One challenge has been how to get repeatable build processes on bare metal. This blog describes how I’ve done this in one our technology labs. Like many organizations the easiest place for me to test at Red Hat is in the cloud. Our demo platform (GitHub) makes it incredibly easy to provision environments. While developing the confidential containers validated pattern I quickly started using (and templating) openshift-installer CLI do ‘IPI’ installs - the installer configures everything it needs to deploy OpenShift clusters to just big enough for what I needed.
