Easy Bare-Metal Cluster Deployment With External Load Balancer Using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management For Kubernetes Console
Red Hat News, Tuesday, October 31,2023
In this article, I demonstrate how to leverage the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console for the creation of a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster with bare-metal nodes.
Specifically, our focus will be on setting up a three-node bare-metal cluster with the addition of an external load balancer. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management utilizes the assisted Installer to deploy new clusters. This installation method is compatible with a range of CPU architectures, including x86_64, ppc64le, s390x, and arm64. It is presumed that the infrastructure environment satisfies all the prerequisites as specified in the official documentation to cater to your environmental requirements. Additionally, I cover the steps required to fulfill the prerequisites before proceeding with the cluster creation.
