Chapter 1. Installation methods
You can install OpenShift Container Platform on IBM Cloud® using installer-provisioned infrastructure. This process involves using an installation program to provision the underlying infrastructure for your cluster. Installing OpenShift Container Platform on IBM Cloud® using user-provisioned infrastructure is not supported at this time.
See Installation process for more information about installer-provisioned installation processes.
1.1. Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure
You can install a cluster on IBM Cloud® infrastructure that is provisioned by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program by using one of the following methods:
- Installing a customized cluster on IBM Cloud®: You can install a customized cluster on IBM Cloud® 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® with network customizations: You can customize your OpenShift Container Platform network configuration during installation, so that your cluster can coexist with your existing IP address allocations and adhere to your network requirements.
- Installing a cluster on IBM Cloud® into an existing VPC: You can install OpenShift Container Platform on an existing IBM Cloud®. You can use this installation method if you have constraints set by the guidelines of your company, such as limits when creating new accounts or infrastructure.
- Installing a private cluster on an existing VPC: You can install a private cluster on an existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can use this method to deploy OpenShift Container Platform on an internal network that is not visible to the internet.
- Installing a cluster on IBM Cloud in a restricted network: You can install OpenShift Container Platform on IBM Cloud on installer-provisioned infrastructure by using an internal mirror of the installation release content. You can use this method to install a cluster that does not require an active internet connection to obtain the software components.
