Control plane configurations for OpenShift clusters are deployable using either stand-alone or hosted control planes. The control plane in the standalone arrangement is hosted on specific physical or virtual machines. Building control planes as pods on a cluster using hosted control planes removes the requirement for separate virtual or physical computers for every control plane.
