Introduction

The ocp4-upi-powervs project provides Terraform based automation code to help with the deployment of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.x on IBM® Power Systems™ Virtual Server on IBM Cloud.

This project leverages the helpernode ansible playbook internally for OCP deployment on IBM Power Systems Virtual Servers (PowerVS).
