Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

Add support for OpenShift to be deployed on Azure using Dedicated Hosts

Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

Azure users to be able to deploy OpenShift on Azure using Dedicated Hosts to support existing software licenses and improve compliance

Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

OpenShift can be deployed on Azure using Dedicated Hosts for the OpenShift Compute Nodes

Anyone reviewing this Feature needs to know which deployment configurations that the Feature will apply to (or not) once it's been completed.  Describe specific needs (or indicate N/A) for each of the following deployment scenarios. For specific configurations that are out-of-scope for a given release, ensure you provide the OCPSTRAT (for the future to be supported configuration) as well.

Questions to Answer (Optional):

This feature will only apply to OpenShift's Compute Nodes but we will need to evaluate if it makes sense to expand this support to the Control Plane Nodes as well. One possible scenario where this would be required is for Compact Clusters deployments.

Background

This is a request coming from Azure customers requiring to have their application hosted on a dedicated infrastructure, not shared with any other Azure customer

Documentation Considerations

Usual documentation will be required to instruct the user on how to use this feature at installation time

Interoperability Considerations

There will be potential work required from the OCPCLOUD teams
