To get started with hosted control planes for OpenShift Container Platform, you first configure your hosted cluster on the provider that you want to use. Then, you complete a few management tasks.
You can view the procedures by selecting from one of the following providers:
Bare metal infrastructure requirements: Review the infrastructure requirements to create a hosted cluster on bare metal.
Configuring the hosting cluster on bare metal:
Configure DNS
Create an InfraEnv
resource and add agents to it
Create a hosted cluster and verify cluster creation
Managing hosted control plane clusters on bare metal:
Scale the NodePool
object for a hosted cluster
Handle ingress traffic for a hosted cluster
Enable node auto-scaling for a hosted cluster
Destroy a hosted cluster
Configuring hosted control planes in a disconnected environment
Managing hosted control plane clusters on OpenShift Virtualization: Create OpenShift Container Platform clusters with worker nodes that are hosted by KubeVirt virtual machines.

Hosted control planes on the AWS platform is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

AWS infrastructure requirements: Review the infrastructure requirements to create a hosted cluster on AWS.
Configuring the hosting cluster on AWS: The tasks to configure a hosted cluster on AWS include creating the AWS S3 OIDC secret, creating a routable public zone, enabling external DNS, enabling AWS PrivateLink, enabling the hosted control planes feature, and installing the hosted control planes CLI.
Managing hosted control plane clusters on AWS: Management tasks include creating, importing, accessing, or deleting a hosted cluster on AWS.
Deploying the SR-IOV Operator for hosted control planes: After you configure and deploy your hosting service cluster, you can create a subscription to the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Operator on a hosted cluster. The SR-IOV pod runs on worker machines rather than the control plane.
