The bootstrapping process executes on a node within the cluster. -* *Hosting:* The {ai-full} hosts: -** Ignition files -** The installation configuration -** A discovery ISO -** The installer -* *Streamlined installation workflow:* Deployment does not require in-depth knowledge of {product-title}. The {ai-full} provides reasonable defaults and provides the installer as a service, which: -** Eliminates the need to install and run the {product-title} installer locally. -** Ensures the latest version of the installer up to the latest tested z-stream releases. Older versions remain available, if needed. -** Enables building automation by using the API without the need to run the {product-title} installer locally. -* *Advanced networking:* The {ai-full} supports IPv4 networking with SDN and OVN, IPv6 and dual stack networking with OVN only, NMState-based static IP addressing, and an HTTP/S proxy. OVN is the default Container Network Interface (CNI) for OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 and later, but you can use SDN. - -* *Preinstallation validation:* The {ai-full} validates the configuration before installation to ensure a high probability of success. The validation process includes the following checks: -** Ensuring network connectivity -** Ensuring sufficient network bandwidth -** Ensuring connectivity to the registry -** Ensuring time synchronization between cluster nodes -** Verifying that the cluster nodes meet the minimum hardware requirements -** Validating the installation configuration parameters -* *REST API:* The {ai-full} has a REST API, enabling automation. - -The {ai-full} supports installing {product-title} on premises in a connected environment, including with an optional HTTP/S proxy. It can install the following: - -* Highly available {product-title} or Single Node OpenShift (SNO) -+ -[NOTE] -==== -SNO is not supported on {ibmzProductName} and {ibmpowerProductName}. -==== -+ -* {product-title} on bare metal, Nutanix, or vSphere with full platform integration, or other virtualization platforms without integration -* Optionally {VirtProductName} and {rh-storage} (formerly OpenShift Container Storage) - -The user interface provides an intuitive interactive workflow where automation does not exist or is not required. Users may also automate installations using the REST API. - -See the link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/assisted_installer_for_openshift_container_platform[Assisted Installer for OpenShift Container Platform] documentation for details.
