Automate Openshift Cluster deployment with RHACM and AAP
summary
Deploy OpenShift clusters by having ACM generate managed-cluster objects and ISOs from GitLab-hosted Ansible templates, then trigger AAP via webhook and a stored token to run pre- and post-provision playbooks. Reuses existing Ansible inventories and legacy playbooks, virtualizes control planes to reclaim bare-metal masters, and supports air-gapped environments. Outcomes: reduced deployment time from 4h to 40m, deployed five clusters simultaneously in 40m, and automation kicks off on a post-provision label on managed cluster to run day-two tasks.
