Preparing to install on IBM Cloud VPC

You reviewed details about the processes.
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.

Before installing OKD on IBM Cloud VPC, you must create a service account and configure an IBM Cloud account. See Configuring an IBM Cloud account for details about creating an account, enabling API services, configuring DNS, IBM Cloud account limits, and supported IBM Cloud VPC regions.

You can install OKD on IBM Cloud VPC using installer-provisioned infrastructure. This process involves using an installation program to provision the underlying infrastructure for your cluster. Installing OKD on IBM Cloud VPC using user-provisioned infrastructure is not supported at this time.

See Installation process for more information about installer-provisioned installation processes.

You can install a cluster on IBM Cloud VPC infrastructure that is provisioned by the OKD installation program by using one of the following methods:

Installing a cluster on IBM Cloud VPC with network customizations: You can customize your OKD network configuration during installation, so that your cluster can coexist with your existing IP address allocations and adhere to your network requirements.
: You can install OKD on an existing IBM Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can use this installation method if you have constraints set by the guidelines of your company, such as limits when creating new accounts or infrastructure.
Installing a private cluster on an existing VPC: You can install a private cluster on an existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can use this method to deploy OKD on an internal network that is not visible to the internet.
