Advanced installation
Being able to start a small cluster in a matter of minutes with minimal effort is great, but what if you need more control over various features so that you get a fully functional cluster right after installation? The answer is advanced installation. As opposed to quick installation, it involves the following:
- Creating an Ansible inventory file, containing all hosts spread over groups in accordance with the chosen deployment model, and variables customizing the installation for your environment
- Running the Ansible playbook to install, configure, and start all OpenShift components, including internal registry, registry console, and router

Section | Description | Required |
| Hosts... |
