You can install an OKD cluster in a disconnected environment, choosing the installation method and infrastructure that best suits your requirements. This includes installing OKD on either on-premise hardware or on a cloud hosting service such as Amazon Web services (AWS).

The following sections outline all of the supported methods for installing a cluster in a disconnected environment.

To learn about other requirements for installing a cluster using a particular method, be sure to review other content in the procedure’s respective section of the documentation.

For example, if you plan to install a cluster on AWS with installer-provisioned infrastructure, see "Configuring an AWS account" and "Preparing to install a cluster on AWS".
