Is it possible to define machinesets for control plane nodes in OpenShift 4?

Environment

• Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
  • 4
• IPI
• MachineSets

Issue

• Can the control plane machines be included in machinesets during OpenShift 4 installation?
• Can the control plane machines be added to machinesets after installation?
• Having masters inside machinesets is a supported configuration in OpenShift 4?

Resolution

Starting with OpenShift 4.12, This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.control plane machine sets were introduced to provide management capabilities for the control plane machines similar to the machinesets for compute nodes.

The controlplanemachinesets are not enabled by default in all the platforms. Refer to Missing controlplanemachineset resource in IPI RHOCP 4 cluster for additional information.
