Chapter 3. Introduction to OpenShift Enterprise Puppet Deployments

Starting with OpenShift Enterprise 2.2, you can deploy a complete, production-capable OpenShift Enterprise environment using a supported Puppet module. While it can be used with or without a Puppet master, this guide covers the use of the module without a Puppet master by applying standalone Puppet manifests locally.

To deploy OpenShift Enterprise using Puppet, you must use the OpenShift Origin Puppet module. The OpenShift Origin Puppet module version 4.1.0 and later is capable of managing both OpenShift Origin and OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 or later. Versions of the Puppet module prior to 4.1.0 have not been tested for use with OpenShift Enterprise.

OpenShift Enterprise support with the Puppet module is enabled by setting the ose_version parameter in a host's Puppet manifest to the OpenShift Enterprise release version. For example, the line in the manifest would be:

ose_version                   => '2.2',
