Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)
Add support to GCP N4 Machine Series to be used as Control Plane and Compute Nodes when deploying Openshift on Google Cloud
Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)
As a user, I want to deploy OpenShift on Google Cloud using N4 Machine Series for the Control Plane and Compute Node so I can take advantage of these new Machine types
Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):
OpenShift can be deployed in Google Cloud using the new N4 Machine Series for the Control Plane and Compute Nodes
| Deployment considerations | List applicable specific needs (N/A = not applicable) |
| Self-managed, managed, or both | both |
| Classic (standalone cluster) | |
| Hosted control planes | |
| Multi node, Compact (three node), or Single node (SNO), or all | all |
| Connected / Restricted Network | |
| Architectures, e.g. x86_x64, ARM (aarch64), IBM Power (ppc64le), and IBM Z (s390x) | |
| Operator compatibility | |
| Backport needed (list applicable versions) | |
| UI need (e.g. OpenShift Console, dynamic plugin, OCM) | |
| Other (please specify) |
Background
Google has made N4 Machine Series available on their cloud offering. These Machine Series use "hyperdisk-balanced" disk for the boot device that are not currently supported
Documentation Considerations
The documentation will be updated adding the new disk type that needs to be supported as part of this enablement. Also the N4 Machine Series will be added as tested Machine types for Google Cloud when deploying OpenShift
