Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat simplifies Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform deployment and reduces the amount of manual effort. Manually deploying Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform typically includes the following:
- Optimizing hardware BIOS settings based on the server role in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
- Ensuring firmware consistency across all servers
- Installing all parts of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Telecom Infrastructure Blocks for Red Hat uses Telecom Infrastructure Automation Foundation and Bare Metal Orchestrator to automate those actions. Telecom Infrastructure Automation Foundation works with Bare Metal Orchestrator to add servers to a resource pool. Bare Metal Orchestrator identifies server hardware profiles and customizes the servers to meet the customer standards. When the server hardware profiles are set to customer standards, Telecom Infrastructure Automation Foundation deploys Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and assigns cloud roles to the servers matching the customer requirements.
