The ocp4-upi-powervs project provides Terraform based automation code to help with the deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.x on IBM® Power Systems™ Virtual Server on IBM Cloud.

This project leverages the helpernode ansible playbook internally for OCP deployment on IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers (PowerVS).

The main branch must be used with latest OCP pre-release versions only. Ensure you checkout the correct release-VERSION branch depending on the version (4.5, 4.6 ...) of RedHat OpenShift you want to install:

For example to use OCP 4.8 perform the following

export VERSION=4.8
git clone --single-branch --branch release-$VERSION https://github.com/ocp-power-automation/ocp4-upi-powervs.git

For bugs/enhancement requests etc. please open a GitHub issue

• Power Systems Virtual Servers(IBM Cloud Docs)
• IBM Power Systems in the Multicloud(Youtube video)
• PowerVS (Youtube video)

The automation needs to run from a system with internet access. This could be your laptop or a VM with public internet connectivity. This automation code have been tested on the following Operating Systems:

• Mac OSX (Darwin)
• Linux (x86_64/ppc64le)
• Windows 10
