# OpenShift Ansible

This repository contains [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) roles and
playbooks to install, upgrade, and manage
[OpenShift](https://www.openshift.com/) clusters.

**Note**: the Ansible playbooks in this repository require an RPM
package that provides `docker`. Currently, the RPMs from
[dockerproject.org](https://dockerproject.org/) do not provide this
requirement, though they may in the future. This limitation is being
tracked by
[#2720](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/2720).

## Getting the correct version

The
[master branch](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/master)
tracks our current work **in development** and should be compatible
with the
[Origin master branch](https://github.com/openshift/origin/tree/master)
(code in development).

In addition to the master branch, we maintain stable branches
corresponding to upstream Origin releases, e.g.: we guarantee an
openshift-ansible 3.2 release will fully support an origin
[1.2 release](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/release-1.2).
The most recent branch will often receive minor feature backports and
fixes.  Older branches will receive only critical fixes.

**Getting the right openshift-ansible release**

Follow this release pattern and you can't go wrong:

| Origin/OCP    | OpenShift-Ansible version | openshift-ansible branch |
| ------------- | ----------------- |----------------------------------|
| 1.3 / 3.3          | 3.3               | release-1.3 |
| 1.4 / 3.4          | 3.4               | releaes-1.4 |
| 1.5 / 3.5          | 3.5               | release-1.5 |
| 3.*X*         | 3.*X*             | release-3.x |

If you're running from the openshift-ansible **master branch** we can
only guarantee compatibility with the newest origin releases **in
development**. Use a branch corresponding to your origin version if
you are not running a stable release.
