Creating {oci} infrastructure resources and services

You must create an {oci} environment on your virtual machine (VM) shape. By creating this environment, you can install {product-title} and deploy a cluster on an infrastructure that supports a wide range of cloud options and strong security policies. Having prior knowledge of {oci} components can help you with understanding the concept of {oci} resources and how you can configure them to meet your organizational needs.

The Agent-based installer method for installing an {product-title} cluster on {oci} requires that you manually create {oci} resources and services.

Important

To ensure compatibility with {product-title}, you must set A as the record type for each DNS record and name records as follows: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>, which targets the apiVIP parameter of the API load balancer. api-int.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>, which targets the apiVIP parameter of the API load balancer. *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>, which targets the ingressVIP parameter of the Ingress load balancer. The api.* and api-int.* DNS records relate to control plane machines, so you must ensure that all nodes in your installed {product-title} cluster can access these DNS records.

Prerequisites

• You configured an {oci} account to host the {product-title} cluster. See Prerequisites (Oracle documentation).

Procedure

• Create the required {oci} resources and services. See {oci} Resources Needed for Using the Agent-based Installer (Oracle documentation).
