Installation

Prerequisites

• Install Azure CLI, as shown here: Azure CLI | Installation.
• Azure Red Hat OpenShift requires a minimum of 40 cores. May need to increase the quota.

Procedure

Create the Resource Group

The resource group can be created from the console, and it will encapsulate resources required by, and dedicated to the OpenShift cluster. The name of the resource group will be derived from the name of the cluster, and there will be an one-to-one relationship between the resource group, cluster and ancillary resources. Select the appropriate region and set the corresponding LOCATION environment variable.

CLUSTER_NAME=platform-cloud-aro-01
RESOURCE_GROUP="${CLUSTER_NAME}-rg"

Create the Cluster

SUBSCRIPTION_ID=...
LOCATION=eastus2
CLUSTER_GROUP=platform-cloud
RESOURCE_GROUP=${CLUSTER_GROUP}-01
CLUSTER_NAME=${CLUSTER_GROUP}-01

az account set --subscription ${SUBSCRIPTION_ID}
