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

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.
