Fleet Management¶
For fleet management, we recommend starting with a Single Node OpenShift (SNO) installation as the hub cluster, then installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) to manage your cluster fleet at scale.
Process Overview¶
- Complete all prerequisites
- Set up the installation host
- Install the SNO hub cluster
- Install storage on the hub
- Install Advanced Cluster Management
- Use ACM to provision bare metal spoke clusters
