You can also install OKD on infrastructure that you provide. If you do not use infrastructure that the installation program provisions, you must manage and maintain the cluster resources yourself.

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

Installer-provisioned infrastructure allows the installation program to pre-configure and automate the provisioning of resources required by OKD.

• : You can install OKD on VMC by using installer-provisioned infrastructure installation with no customization.

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.

User-provisioned infrastructure installation of OKD on VMC

User-provisioned infrastructure requires the user to provision all resources required by OKD.

• Installing a cluster on VMC with user-provisioned infrastructure: You can install OKD on VMC infrastructure that you provision.

• : You can install OKD on VMC infrastructure that you provision with customized network configuration options.

• Uninstalling a cluster on VMC that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure: You can remove a cluster that you deployed on VMC infrastructure that used installer-provisioned infrastructure.
