Terraform is an implementation detail. A more important part of the installer is that 80-90% of the cluster configuration and installation is moving on cluster itself (the installer sets up a top level operator that runs to finish the install) and management of nodes is moving to the cluster via the machine api (installer won’t provision nodes). The installer will be the preferred method for installing openshift onto clouds (private or public) where you have IaaS APIs (over time more targets will be suppprted). openshift-ansible scope will be dramatically reduced as a consequence of that - mostly to setting up rhel nodes and assisting in other non-cloud configuration tasks. It will continue to be the “get it working if you already have configured machines” approach. > > Thanks for any insights! > > Best, > Tobias > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openshift.redhat.com/openshiftmm/listinfo/dev _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openshift.redhat.com/openshiftmm/listinfo/dev
