text: **6.1 Deployment process overview**
  
  This section describes the Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 deployment process on PowerVC by 
  using Terraform. The process includes the following steps: 
  
  1. Setting up the deployment environment: 
  
  – Configure DNS. 
  – Configure PowerVC user and project. 
  – Create the virtual machine to host deployment tools. 
  – Prepare the deployment host and install Terraform and OpenShift-Ansible. 
  
  2. OpenShift Container Platform Deployment: 
  
  – Infrastructure Deployment by using Terraform. Terraform deploys the PowerVC 
  
  network, virtual machines, and storage. It uses the OpenStack provider (plug-in) to 
  build resources directly to the PowerVC APIs. 
  
  – OpenShift Container Platform Installation using OpenShift-Ansible. OpenShift-Ansible 
  is a set of Ansible playbooks that orchestrate complex deployment tasks for installing 
  the OpenShift Container Platform on the physical or virtual servers. 
  
  **Note:**The Deployment Host can be any host or virtual machine that is running an 
  operating system that is supported by Terraform and OpenShift-Ansible tools. This chapter 
  describes how to install and configure the Deployment Host on PowerVC running Red Hat 
  ALT 7.6 (ppc64le) operating system.
