A GitOps approach to Zero Touch Provisioning for the 5G vRAN Ed...

" summary

A reproducible GitOps ZTP pipeline turns bare-metal servers into 5G vRAN clusters by storing site plans as YAML in Git, invoking the Assisted Installer to provision CoreOS and OpenShift, then using OpenShift + Open Cluster Management subscriptions, policies and placements to apply machineconfigs, the performance-addon + SR-IOV + PTP operators and CRDs. Demo shows a three‑node control plane with two remote workers enrolled automatically from BMC details, operators applied declaratively, and clusters reaching desired state with no manual steps.
