Document ami requirements #7

Closed hassenius closed 4 years ago

hassenius commented 4 years ago

To make it easier to deploy to other regions than the default, please document what is required of the AMI so folks can search up an appropriate AMI. Also, would be nice to have a generic search implementation so people can leave AMI blank for a quick deployment (while explicitly stating that it is not recommended for production since AMIs can change forcing VM recreation when re-applying config at a later stage).

@hassenius Red Hat maintains the detail AMI list for each region. It will be a lot of duplication for us to list in this repo. My approach is to just provide link to the source of the AMI table.

The list of AMIs VHDs and other images for all cloud platforms is listed on this file https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/data/data/rhcos.json

@hassenius - I left out the AMI search capability to accommodate for version changes without modifying the code. This has worked well as the terraform was built for 4.1 and it is still the same code for 4.2; however the AMI list is changing. It is easier to change the link in the docs.
