Introduction
The ocp4-upi-powervs
project provides Terraform based automation code to help with the deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.x on IBM® Power Systems™ Virtual Server on IBM Cloud.
This project leverages the helpernode ansible playbook internally for OCP deployment on IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers (PowerVS).
Before You Start
The main branch must be used with latest OCP pre-release versions only.
Ensure you checkout the correct release-VERSION
branch depending on the version (4.5, 4.6 ...) of RedHat OpenShift you want to install:
For example to use OCP 4.8 perform the following
export VERSION=4.8
git clone --single-branch --branch release-$VERSION https://github.com/ocp-power-automation/ocp4-upi-powervs.git
