About the HyperShift pattern (hosted control plane)

Background

This pattern simplifies the deployment of an hosted control plane or hosted control plane cluster. Use this pattern to create hosted control plane clusters.

Workflow

  • Install multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator

  • Create an instance of the MultiClusterEngine to enable hypershift, which is a technology preview feature.

  • Install the AWS Controllers for Kubernetes - Amazon S3 Operator

  • Create an S3 bucket that hosted control plane will use for OpenID Connect (OIDC)

  • Create a buildconfig and imagestream that provide the HyperShift cli (hypershift) as an imagestream to be used in further automation if desired.

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform for container orchestration

  • Red Hat OpenShift GitOps, a GitOps continuous delivery (CD) solution

  • The multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator, the multicluster-engine provider

  • AWS Controllers for Kubernetes - Amazon S3 Operator, an S3 storage controller

Validated Patterns

Validated Patterns are an evolution of how you deploy applications in a hybrid cloud. With a pattern, you can automatically deploy a full application stack through a GitOps-based framework. With this framework, you can create business-centric solutions while maintaining a level of Continuous Integration (CI) over your application.
