The Intel Technology Enabling for OpenShift project provides Intel Data Center hardware feature-provisioning technologies with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP). The technology to deploy and manage the End-to-End (E2E) solutions as well as the related reference workloads for these features are also included in the project.
These Intel Data Center hardware features currently include:
- Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)
- Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series
- Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT)
The following features will be included in future releases.
- Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series
- Intel® Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel® DSA)
- Intel® In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel® IAA)
- Intel® FPGA N6000
See details about Supported Intel Hardware features and Supported RHOCP Versions.
For detailed information about releases, please refer Release Information.
Figure-1 is the Architecture and Working Scope of the project
This section describes the RHOCP infrastructure and Intel hardware features supported by this project. The project lifecycle and support channels can also be found here.
See reference BIOS Configuration required for each feature.
Use one of these two options to provision an RHOCP cluster:
- Use the methods introduced in RHOCP documentation.
- Use Distributed CI as we do in this project.
In this project, we provisioned RHOCP 4.14 on a bare-metal multi-node cluster. For details about the supported RHOCP infrastructure, see the Supported Platforms page.
Please follow the steps below to provision the hardware features
- Setting up Node Feature Discovery
- Setting up Machine Configuration
- Setting up Out of Tree Drivers
- Setting up Device Plugins
You can use the instructions in the link to verify the hardware features provisioning.
The reference end-to-end solution is based on Intel hardware feature provisioning provided by this project.
