· 2 min read

On March 20th, OKD-Working Group hosted a day-long event to bring together people from the OKD and related Open Source project communities to collaborate on testing and documentation of the OKD 4 install and upgrade processes for the various platforms that people are deploying OKD 4 on as well to identify any issues with the current documentation for these processes and triage them together.

The OKD Working Group held a virtual community-hosted workshop on testing and deploying OKD4 on March 20th​

The day started with all attendees together in the ‘main stage’ area for 2 hours where community members gave an short welcome along with the following four presentations:

Then attendees then broke into track sessions specific to the deployment target platforms for deep dive demos with live Q/A, answered as many questions as possible about that specific deployment target's configurations, attempted to identify any missing pieces in the documentation and triage the documentation as we went along.

The 4 track break-out rooms set-up for 2.5 hours of deployment walk throughs and Q/A with session leads:

Our goal was to triage our existing community documentation, identify any short comings and encourage your participation in the OKD-Working Group's testing of the installation and upgrade processes for each OKD release.

Please avoid using FCOS 33.20210301.3.1 for new OKD installs

Due to several issues ([1] and [2]) fresh installations using FCOS 33.20210301.3.1 would fail. The fix is coming in Podman 3.1.0.

Please use an older stable release - 33.20210217.3.0 - as a starting point instead. See download links at https://builds.coreos.fedoraproject.org/browser?stream=stable (might need some scrolling),

Note, that only fresh installs are affected. Also, you won't be left with outdated packages, as OKD does update themselves to latest stable FCOS content during installation/update.

OKD Testing and Deployment Workshop

· 3 min read

The OKD Working Group is hosting a virtual workshop on testing and deploying OKD4​

On March 20th, OKD-Working Group is hosting a one day event to bring together people from the OKD and related Open Source project communities to collaborate on testing and documentation of the OKD 4 install and upgrade processes for the various platforms that people are deploying OKD 4 on as well to identify any issues with the current documentation for these processes and triage them together.

The day will start with all attendees together in the ‘main stage’ area for 2 hours where we will give an short welcome and describe the logistics for the day, give a brief introduction to OKD4 itself then walk thru a install deployment to vSphere using UPI approach along with a few other more universal best practices such as DNS/DHCP server configuration) that apply to all deployment targets.

Then we will break into tracks specific to the deployment target platforms for deep dive demos with Q/A, try and answer any questions you have about your specific deployment target's configurations, identify any missing pieces in the documentation and triage the documentation as we go.

There will be 4 track break-out rooms set-up for 3 hours of deployment walk throughs and Q/A with session leads:

  • vSphere/UPI - lead by Jaime Magiera (UMich) and Josef Meier (Rohde & Schwarz)
  • Bare Metal/UPI - lead by Andrew Sullivan (Red Hat) and Jason Pittman (Red Hat)
  • Single Node Cluster - lead by Charro Gruver (Red Hat) and Bruce Link (BCIT)
  • Home Lab Setup - lead by Craig Robinson (Red Hat) and Sri Ramanujam (Datto)

Our goal is to triage our existing community documentation, identify any short comings and encourage your participation in the OKD-Working Group's testing of the installation and upgrade processes for each OKD release.

This is community event NOT meant as a substitute for Red Hat technical support.
