OpenShift Installation
External
Internal
Overview
There are two installation methods: quick install, which uses a CLI tool available in the "atomic-openshift-utils" package, which, in turn, uses Ansible in the background, and advanced install. The advanced install assumes familiarity with Ansible.
Prerequisites
System Requirements
Relevance OpenShift 3.3.
Master
- Physical or virtual system.
- RHEL 7.1 installed with the "minimal" installation option.
- 2 CPUs
- 8 GB RAM
- 30 GB storage space.
Node
- Physical or virtual system.

DNS Setup
A DNS server is required.
After setup, the DNS server needs to be configured to resolve a public wildcard DNS entry to the public IP address of the node that executes the default router, by adding an A record, with a low TTL. If the environment has multiple routers, an external load balancer is required.
*.myapp.example.com. 300 IN A 1.2.3.4
