HyperShift Agent Provider

Deploy OpenShift clusters on bare metal using HyperShift Agent Provider, which leverages pre-provisioned agents to automate cluster creation in non-cloud environments. The Skill validates prerequisites, detects your environment type, collects required parameters like agent namespace and release image, then generates a ready-to-use provisioning workflow.

Yes. HyperShift Agent Provider handles disconnected and edge environments by automatically applying environment-specific defaults, enforcing mandatory security parameters like pull secrets, and configuring networking for low-connectivity scenarios. It generates deployment plans optimized for your specific edge location constraints.

Prerequisites include pre-provisioned agents in your environment, a valid pull secret for authentication, the OpenShift release image URL, base domain configuration, and your target OpenShift version. The Skill validates these during interactive parameter collection and enforces FIPS and architecture options when applicable.

HyperShift Agent Provider supports single-node control plane deployments optimized for edge monitoring scenarios. It configures minimal resource requirements and applies edge-specific defaults during deployment plan generation, making it suitable for resource-constrained remote locations.

Yes. HyperShift Agent Provider explicitly supports disconnected infrastructure scenarios by using pre-provisioned agents and enforcing disconnected-environment defaults. It guides parameter collection for offline deployments and validates functional requirements specific to network isolation.

Bare metal deployment requires agent-based provisioning instead of cloud automation APIs, custom network configuration without cloud load balancers, and environment-specific validation. HyperShift Agent Provider abstracts this complexity by auto-detecting your bare metal or edge environment and generating deployment commands with correct agent and security settings.
