You can deploy Bare Metal Orchestrator on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 environments running on bare metal or hypervisors as a single node cluster.
Bare Metal Orchestrator installs an RKE2 (next-generation) cluster called the Global Controller (GC) node.
Throughout this guide, the Global Controller node is also called the control plane 1 (CP1) node.
For a workflow of the installation process, see Single node installation workflow.
