String
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Alibaba Cloud, you provide parameters to customize your cluster and the platform that hosts it. When you create the install-config.yaml
file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. You can then modify the install-config.yaml
file to customize your cluster further.
The following tables specify the required, optional, and Alibaba Cloud-specific installation configuration parameters that you can set as part of the installation process.
After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the |

You can customize your installation configuration based on the requirements of your existing network infrastructure. For example, you can expand the IP address block for the cluster network or provide different IP address blocks than the defaults.
Only IPv4 addresses are supported.
Globalnet is not supported with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation disaster recovery solutions. For regional disaster recovery scenarios, ensure that you use a nonoverlapping range of private IP addresses for the cluster and service networks in each cluster. |
