Use Cluster Bot when you want to address an issue in a specific PR, OpenShift version, or platform. The main benefit is that the bot can configure specific parameters on your behalf. The Cluster Bot is a way to spin up a temporary cluster that lives for ~1 1/2 hours. The cluster will take about ~30 minutes to spin up. It is flaky and will fail to spin up a cluster sometimes, re-try the command.

1. Sign into your Internal Red Hat account on Slack
2. Add the Cluster Botapp
3. In the text box ask Cluster Bot to spin up your cluster. The template command is :
   launch <image_or_versions_or_prs> <options>
   image = container image,
   version = OpenShift version ( see OpenShift Container Platform Docs for available versions)
   prs = pull requests (launch a cluster containing a specific pull request from the OpenShift repository)
   options = can be platform (e.g aws), architecture and variant (type in help into the text box to see full list)
   

For example,

• launch 4.11 aws, will spin up a cluster with OpenShift Container Version 4.11 on the platform AWS.
• launch openshift/console#12987 (spins up a cluster containing the PR: openshift/console#12987)
