Introduction

This repo contains Terraform templates to help deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.x on KVM VMs using libvirt.

This project leverages the following ansible playbook to setup helper node (bastion) for OCP deployment.

Run this code from either Mac or Linux (Intel) system.

❗ This automation is intended for test/development purposes only and there is no formal support. For issues please open a GitHub issue

Pre-requisites

• Git: Please refer to the following link for instructions on installing git for Linux and Mac.
