HyperShift Operator Installation

This document describes different installation flags or methods for HyperShift Operator (HO).

Limiting the CAPI CRDs installed

The HO uses the Cluster API (CAPI) to manage the nodes in the NodePool. By default, the HO installation will install all CAPI related CRDs. If you want to limit the CRDs installed, you can set the --limit-crd-install flag to a comma-separated list of CRDs to install. The valid values for this flag are: AWS, Azure, IBMCloud, KubeVirt, Agent, OpenStack.

For example, to only install the AWS and Azure related CAPI CRDs, you would use the following flag in your HO install command:

--limit-crd-install=AWS,Azure

Important

Limiting the CAPI CRDs installed means the HO will only be able to manage HostedClusters of the same platform. For example, in the above example, if you limit the CRDs to AWS and Azure, the HO will only be able to manage AWS and Azure HostedClusters.
