    Description

      Background

      • Starting with version 4.13 OCP is going to officially support Single
        Node clusters on AWS.
      • The minimum documented OCP requirement for single-node control plane
        nodes is 8-cores and 16GiB of RAM
      • The current default instance type chosen for AWS clusters by the
        installer is `xlarge` which is 4 cores and 16GiB of RAM

      Issue

      The default instance type the installer currently chooses for Single
      Node Openshift clusters doesn't follow our documented minimum
      requirements

      Solution

      When the number of replicas of the ControlPlane pool is 1, the installer
      will now choose `2xlarge` instead of `xlarge`.

      Caveat

      `2xlarge` has 32GiB of RAM, which is twice as much as we need, but it's
      the best we can do to meet the minimum single-node requirements, because
      AWS doesn't offer a 16GiB RAM instance type with 8 cores.
