@Nagaraj Hegde (ZEN3 INFOSOLUTIONS AMERICA INC) , Thank you for your question.

At the time of writing, you can deploy Openshift Containerization Platform on Azure Stack:

OpenShift can be deployed in Azure Stack. There are some key differences between Azure and Azure Stack so deployment will differ slightly and capabilities will also differ slightly.

Currently, the Azure Cloud Provider doesn't work in Azure Stack. For this reason, you won't be able to use disk attach for persistent storage in Azure Stack. Instead, you can configure other storage options such as NFS, iSCSI, GlusterFS, etc. As an alternative, you can enable CNS and use GlusterFS for persistent storage. If CNS is enabled, three additional nodes will be deployed with additional storage for GlusterFS usage.

You can use one of several methods to deploy OpenShift Container Platform or OKD in Azure Stack:

• You can manually deploy the necessary Azure infrastructure components and then follow the OpenShift Container Platform documentation or OKD documentation.
• You can also use an existing Resource Manager template that simplifies the deployment of the OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
• You can also use an existing Resource Manager template that simplifies the deployment of the OKD cluster.
