Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure
Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure
Additional resources

You can install OKD on Azure Stack Hub using installer-provisioned or user-provisioned infrastructure.

The default installation type uses installer-provisioned infrastructure, where the installation program provisions the underlying infrastructure for the cluster. You can also install OKD on infrastructure that you provision. If you do not use infrastructure that the installation program provisions, you must manage and maintain the cluster resources yourself.

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

Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure

You can install a cluster on Azure Stack Hub infrastructure that is provisioned by the OKD installation program, by using the following method:

Installing a cluster: You can install OKD on Azure Stack Hub infrastructure that is provisioned by the OKD installation program. See "Installing a cluster".

Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure

You can install a cluster on Azure Stack Hub infrastructure that you provision, by using the following method:

Installing a cluster on Azure Stack Hub using ARM templates: You can install OKD on Azure Stack Hub by using infrastructure that you provide. You can use the provided Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to assist with an installation. See "Installing a cluster on Azure Stack Hub using ARM templates".
