Red Hat Device Edge installation steps
Before proceeding with your specific installation method, you must prepare your environment for installation. To ensure a successful deployment, you must follow the general prerequisites such as obtaining your pull secret, planning your storage strategy, and defining your network topology, before you begin.
For most installation types, you must also take the following steps:
-
Download the pull secret from the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console using the following link:
-
Be ready to configure MicroShift by adding parameters and values to the MicroShift YAML configuration file. For more information, see "Customizing MicroShift by using the configuration file".
-
Decide whether you need to configure storage for the application and tasks you are using in your MicroShift node, or disable the MicroShift storage plugin completely.
-
For more information about creating volume groups and persistent volumes on RHEL, see the following link:
-
Configure networking settings according to the access needs you plan for your MicroShift node and applications. Consider whether you want to use single or dual-stack networks, configure a firewall, or configure routes.
You can use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time (real-time kernel) where predictable latency is critical. Workload partitioning is also required for low-latency applications. For more information about low latency and the real-time kernel, see "Configuring low latency".
