Introduction

The ocp4-upi-powervm project provides Terraform based automation code to help the deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.x on PowerVM systems managed by PowerVC.

If you are using standalone PowerVM please take a look at the following quickstart guide which uses the ansible playbook to setup a helper node (bastion) for OCP deployment.

This project also leverages the same ansible playbook internally for OCP deployment on PowerVM LPARs managed via PowerVC.

!!! Note For bugs/enhancement requests etc. please open a GitHub issue

!!! Note **Use the main branch to install any versions of OCP starting from 4.6, including pre-release versions.

Automation Host Prerequisites

• Windows 10
