Part 1 of a three-part series, it covers setting up a single OpenShift cluster that acts simultaneously as hub cluster (Red Hat ACM), hosting cluster (multicluster engine for Kubernetes), and virtualization provider (KubeVirt). The guide walks through installing LVM storage, MetalLB, OpenShift Virtualization, and finally provisioning a hosted cluster with worker nodes running as VMs. Pros and cons of the all-in-one topology are discussed, noting it is best suited for labs and POCs rather than production environments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
