Creating the OpenShift Container Platform Cluster in OCI
Use these instructions to create the OpenShift Container Platform on OCI cluster and verify that the cluster is running.
Review the following topics and create the resources listed in them if you don't have them.
After creating the Compute service custom image, you are ready to provision compute nodes to create the cluster. OpenShift Container Platform nodes are either control plane nodes (also called "master nodes") or compute nodes (also called "worker nodes").
The first control plane node created for the cluster must be assigned the rendezvous IP address. This is the IP address found in the /rendezvousIP
file created in your local working directory by the agent installer program. See Creating configuration files for installing a cluster on OCI in the Red Hat documentation for more information.
After you provision the first control plane node with the assigned rendezvous IP address, you can create the remaining nodes. When doing so, provision all control plane nodes before you begin provisioning worker nodes. The remaining nodes don't need assigned IP addresses. As you provision these nodes using the custom image, they are automatically discovered and incorporated into the cluster. After all nodes are provisioned, you verify that the cluster is running using the OpenShift Container Platform CLI.
