Installing a cluster on OpenStack with customizations

In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a customized cluster on {rh-openstack-first}. To customize the installation, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml before you install the cluster.

Prerequisites

• You reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.

• You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.

• You verified that {product-title} {product-version} is compatible with your {rh-openstack} version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the {product-title} on {rh-openstack} support matrix.

• You have a storage service installed in {rh-openstack}, such as block storage (Cinder) or object storage (Swift). Object storage is the recommended storage technology for {product-title} registry cluster deployment. For more information, see Optimizing storage.

• You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended practices for scaling the cluster.

• You have the metadata service enabled in {rh-openstack}.

Tip	You can add additional networks, including provider networks, to the platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs list. After you deploy your cluster, you can attach pods to additional networks. For more information, see Understanding multiple networks.

Next steps

• Customize your cluster.

• If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.

• If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.

• If you did not configure {rh-openstack} to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure {rh-openstack} access with floating IP addresses.
