OpenShift Container Platform or OKD deployment to Azure Stack Hub

Applies to: ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets

You can deploy OpenShift in Azure Stack Hub. Some key differences exist between Azure and Azure Stack Hub, so deployment and capabilities differ slightly.

Currently, the Azure Cloud Provider doesn't work in Azure Stack Hub. You can't use disk attach for persistent storage in Azure Stack Hub. Instead, you can configure other storage options such as Network File System (NFS), Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI), and GlusterFS. Or, you can enable Container Native Storage (CNS) and use GlusterFS for persistent storage. If you enable CNS, the deployment adds three more nodes 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, you don't need to get an image from the Azure Stack hub Marketplace.

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, contact Red Hat for support.
