Deploy OpenShift Container Platform or OKD to Azure Stack Hub

  • Article

Applies to: ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets

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

Currently, the Azure Cloud Provider doesn't work in Azure Stack Hub. You won't be able to use disk attach for persistent storage in Azure Stack Hub. Instead, you can configure other storage options such as NFS, iSCSI, and GlusterFS. Or, you can enable CNS and use GlusterFS for persistent storage. If CNS is enabled, three more nodes will be deployed with storage for GlusterFS usage.

Deploy OpenShift 4.x On Azure Stack Hub

Red Hat manages the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image for OpenShift 4.x. The deployment process gets the image from a Red Hat endpoint. As a result, the user (tenant) doesn't need to get an image from the Azure Stack hub Marketplace.

You can follow the steps in the OpenShift documentation at Installing a cluster on Azure Stack Hub using ARM templates.

Warning

If you have an issue with OpenShift, please contact Red Hat for support.
