The {ai-full} provides installation functionality as a service. This software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach has the following advantages:
1212

1313
* *Web user interface:* The web user interface performs cluster installation without the user having to create the installation configuration files manually.
1414
* *No bootstrap node:* A bootstrap node is not required when installing with the {ai-full}. The bootstrapping process executes on a node within the cluster.
1515
* *Hosting:* The {ai-full} hosts:

* *Streamlined installation workflow:* Deployment does not require in-depth knowledge of {product-title}. The {ai-full} provides reasonable defaults and provides the installer as a service, which:
21-
- Eliminates the need to install and run the {product-title} installer locally.
22-
- Ensures the latest version of the installer up to the latest tested z-stream releases. Older versions remain available, if needed.
23-
- Enables building automation by using the API without the need to run the {product-title} installer locally.
24-
* *Advanced networking:* The {ai-full} supports IPv4 networking with SDN and OVN, IPv6 and dual stack networking with OVN only, NMState-based static IP addressing, and an HTTP/S proxy. OVN is the default Container Network Interface (CNI) for OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 and later releases, but you can use SDN.
25-
26-
* *Preinstallation validation:* The {ai-full} validates the configuration before installation to ensure a high probability of success. Validation includes:
27-
- Ensuring network connectivity
28-
- Ensuring sufficient network bandwidth
29-
- Ensuring connectivity to the registry
30-
- Ensuring time synchronization between cluster nodes

- Verifying that the cluster nodes meet the minimum hardware requirements
