Support for Bare Metal Environments

OpenShift has support for bare metal deployments with either User provided infrastructure (UPI), or Installer-provided instrastructure (IPI).

The following is a summary of key differences:

  • UPI bare metal

    • Provisioning hosts is an external requirement
    • Requires extra DNS configuration
    • Requires setup of load balancers
    • Offers more control and choice over infrastructure

  • IPI bare metal

    • Has built-in hardware provisioning components, will provision nodes with RHCOS automatically, and supports the Machine API for ongoing management of these hosts.
    • Automates internal DNS requirements
    • Automates setup of self-hosted load balancers
    • Supports “openshift-install create cluster” for bare metal environments using this infrastructure automation, but requires the use of compatible hardware, as described in install_ipi.md.
