Deploy OpenShift Container Platform 4.x in Azure
Applies to: ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets
Deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.2 is now supported in Azure via the Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure (IPI) model. The landing page for trying OpenShift 4 is try.openshift.com. To install OCP 4.2 in Azure, visit the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager page. Red Hat credentials are required to access this site.
Notes
- A Microsoft Entra service principal (SP) is required to install and run OCP 4.x in Azure
- The SP must be granted the API permission of Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy for Azure Active Directory Graph
- A Microsoft Entra tenant administrator must grant Admin Consent for this API permission to take effect
- The SP must be granted Contributor and User Access Administrator roles to the subscription
- The installation model for OCP 4.x is different than 3.x and there are no Azure Resource Manager templates available for deploying OCP 4.x in Azure
- If issues are encountered during the installation process, contact the appropriate company (Microsoft or Red Hat)
