Red Hat build of MicroShift

Kickstart files for embedding MicroShift with a RHEL installation

Kickstart files automate RHEL installation and can embed MicroShift on the same host. You can use a Kickstart file to provision virtual machines or complete edge deployments when the file meets MicroShift storage and pull-secret requirements.

By using a Kickstart file, you automate a typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) installation by creating a single file containing all of the information required for success.

You can also automate your MicroShift installation by including MicroShift in the Kickstart file for the RHEL type that you choose.
You can use a Kickstart file to provision virtual machines (VMs) or to complete a regular RHEL installation for deployment on edge devices.

For MicroShift, your Kickstart file must include information to provision the RHEL system to meet the following requirements:

A RHEL system you provision must meet the requirements for installing MicroShift.
The RHEL file system must have a logical volume manager (LVM) volume group (VG) with sufficient capacity for the persistent volumes (PVs) of your workload.
A pull secret from the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console must be present as /etc/crio/openshift-pull-secret and have root user-only read/write permissions. See "Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console pull secret" for more information.
