OCP Cluster Manager is an extensible framework for deployment and management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters, powered by Ansible. It allows to define configuration parameters for multiple OpenShift clusters and therefore is a multi-cluster management tool.
Read the documentation of this framework.
For OpenShift deployments the openshift-install tool for the desired cluster version will be gathered.
The configuration parameters will be used to generate the OpenShift installation configuration files and start the deployment process.
The predefined values are suitable to deploy OpenShift on VMware vSphere in IPI mode.
As soon as the OpenShift cluster is deployed, the post-configuration steps will run. Some of the post-configuration tasks are:
- Setup NTP in cluster
- Deployment of vSphere CSI driver and Cloud Provider for vSphere
- Deployment of Velero Backup with MinIO backend
- and more to come.
More configuration tasks can be added by the user.
