Hypershift Installer

Overview

The hypershift installer is a program for running OpenShift 4.x in a hyperscale manner with many control planes hosted on a central management cluster.

Getting Started

Build and run the installer

• Install an Openshift 4.x cluster on AWS using the traditional installer
• Run make on this repository
• Setup your KUBECONFIG to point to the admin kubeconfig of your current AWS cluster (ie. export KUBECONFIG=${INSTALL_DIR}/auth/kubeconfig)
• Run ./bin/hypershift-installer install NAME to install a new Hypershift cluster on your existing AWS cluster. The NAME parameter will be used to create a namespace on your existing cluster and place all control plane components in it. Infrastructure will be created on AWS to support your new cluster instance, including:
  • Network Load Balancers for API, Router, VPN
  • DNS entries for API, Router, VPN
  • Worker machine instances for your new cluster

Uninstalling on AWS

• Setup your KUBECONFIG to point to the management cluster
• Run ./bin/hypershift-installer uninstall NAME where NAME is the name you gave your cluster when installing.
