Using Cloud Pak Deployer🔗

Running Cloud Pak Deployer🔗

There are 3 main steps you need to perform to provision an OpenShift cluster with the desired Cloud Pak(s):

What will I need?🔗

To complete the deployment, you will or may need the following. Details will be provided when you need them.

Your Cloud Pak entitlement key to pull images from the IBM Container Registry
IBM Cloud VPC: An IBM Cloud API key that allows you to provision infrastructure
vSphere: A vSphere user and password which has infrastructure create permissions
AWS ROSA: AWS IAM credentials (access key and secret access key), a ROSA login token and optionally a temporary security token
AWS Self-managed: AWS IAM credentials (access key and secret access key) and optionally a temporary security token
Azure: Azure service principal with the correct permissions
Existing OpenShift: Cluster admin login credentials of the OpenShift cluster

Executing commands on the OpenShift cluster🔗

The server on which you run the Cloud Pak Deployer may not have the necessary clients to interact with the cloud infrastructure, OpenShift, or the installed Cloud Pak. You can run commands using the same container image that runs the deployment of OpenShift and the Cloud Paks through the command line: Open a command line

Destroying your OpenShift cluster🔗

If you want to destroy the provisioned OpenShift cluster, including the installed Cloud Pak(s), you can do this through the Cloud pak Deployer. Steps can be found here: Destroy the assets
