Managing Ocp Infrastructures Using Gitops

This multi-part blog series will cover how to deploy bare-metal server resources into an OCP cluster using Gitops tooling

In the first part of this series, I showed you how the to install the Assisted Service/CIM (Central Infrastructure Management) and how a cluster can be deployed in a declarative manner using approximately 9 YAML files.

In the third part, I will show how the SiteConfig can be parsed as part of a ZTP pipeline using Openshift Gitops. These features can also be used to have objects (such as clusters) be automatically modified based on updates being made to the source GitHub repo.
