Chapter 4. Installing a cluster in a disconnected environment You can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster in a disconnected environment, choosing the installation method and infrastructure that best suits your requirements. This includes installing OpenShift Container Platform on either on-premise hardware or on a cloud hosting service such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). The following sections outline all of the supported methods for installing a cluster in a disconnected environment. Note In order to learn about other requirements for installing a cluster using a particular method, be sure to review other content in the procedure's respective section of the documentation. For example, if you plan to install a cluster on AWS with installer-provisioned infrastructure, see Configuring an AWS account and Preparing to install a cluster on AWS 4.1. Installing a cluster with the Agent-based Installer To learn more about installing a cluster in a disconnected environment with the Agent-based installer, see the following pages: Understanding disconnected installation mirroring Installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with the Agent-based Installer 4.2.
