Abstract

The purpose of this document is to show how to install RedHat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) on Amazon web services (AWS) public cloud with OpenShift installer, a method that is known as Installer-provisioned infrastructure (IPI). We also describe how to validate the installation of IBM container storage interface (CSI) driver on OCP 4.2 that is installed on AWS. This document also describes the installation of OCP 4.x on AWS with customization and OCP 4.x installation on IBM cloud.

This document discusses how to provision internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) storage that is made available by IBM Spectrum® Virtualize for Public Cloud (SVPC) that is deployed on AWS. Finally, the document discusses the use of Red Hat OpenShift command line interface (CLI), OCP web console graphical user interface (GUI), and AWS console.
