Description Gaoyun Pei 2022-06-24 09:06:14 UTC 
Document URL: 
In https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/machine_management/adding-rhel-compute.html#rhel-preparing-playbook-machine_adding-rhel-compute
we're requiring RHEL 7 machine as the host to run openshift-playbooks, since el7 builds for openshift-ansible/openshift-cliets were dropped and el8 builds are creatd(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100644 for details), we need to update our documentation to indicate RHEL-8 would be required here. 

And the rhel-7 channels referenced also need to be updated - "the Enable the repositories required by OpenShift Container Platform 4.10" in this section.

FYI: for 4.11 the RPM will only be available for RHEL8, and for 4.10 we're backporting the fix and then will add a RHEL8 RPM (bug 2100850) alongside the existing RHEL7 one (since it's too late to remove that).  Since 4.10 is documented to only support RHEL8 worker nodes, it doesn't make much sense to require a RHEL7 ansible host to deploy it.  Therefore, I suppose a decision needs to be made whether to document using either RHEL7 or RHEL8 ansible host, or just switch to only mentioning RHEL8 (like in 4.11 docs).
