Provisioning an OpenShift cluster

In this recipe, we will use the AWS platform to deploy OpenShift:

To get your OpenShift cluster up, use the following command:

$ ./openshift-install create cluster

Choose aws as your platform and enter your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Choose your region. In our example, this is us-east-1.
Select a base domain. In our example, this is k8s.containerized.me.
Enter a cluster name.
Copy Pull Secret from the Red Hat site and paste it onto the command line:

After the installation is complete, you will see the console URL and credentials for accessing your new cluster, similar to the following:

INFO Install complete!
INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/ubuntu/auth/kubeconfig'
INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.os.k8s.containerized.me
INFO Login to the console with user: kubeadmin, password: ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE

Switch to the Red Hat site and click on the Download Command-Line Tools link to download openshift-client.
Extract the openshift-client files in your workstation:

$ tar -xzf openshift-client-linux-*.tar.gz && sudo mv oc /usr/local/bin

The preceding command will create the kubectl and oc files on the same folder and move the oc binary to PATH.
