1. Create the config map to contain the certificate authority (CA) bundle in the aws-load-balancer-operator namespace by running the following command:

   $ oc -n aws-load-balancer-operator create configmap trusted-ca

2. To inject the trusted CA bundle into the config map, add the config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle=true label to the config map by running the following command:

   $ oc -n aws-load-balancer-operator label cm trusted-ca config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle=true

3. Update the AWS Load Balancer Operator subscription to access the config map in the AWS Load Balancer Operator deployment by running the following command:

   $ gcloud dns record-sets list --zone=qe-cvs4g-private-zone | grep console

Procedure

1. Create a secret object with Infoblox credentials by running the following command:

   $ oc -n external-dns-operator create secret generic infoblox-credentials --from-literal=EXTERNAL_DNS_INFOBLOX_WAPI_USERNAME=<infoblox_username> --from-literal=EXTERNAL_DNS_INFOBLOX_WAPI_PASSWORD=<infoblox_password>

2. Get a list of routes by running the following command:

   $ oc get routes --all-namespaces | grep console

   Example Output

   openshift-console          console             console-openshift-console.apps.test.example.com                       console             https   reencrypt/Redirect     None
   openshift-console          downloads           downloads-openshift-console.apps.test.example.com                     downloads           http    edge/Redirect          None

3. Create a YAML file, for example, external-dns-sample-infoblox.yaml, that defines the ExternalDNS object:

   Example external-dns-sample-infoblox.yaml file

   apiVersion: externaldns.olm.openshift.io/v1beta1
   kind: ExternalDNS
   metadata:
     name: sample-infoblox 1
   spec:
     provider:
       type: Infoblox 2
       infoblox:
         credentials:
           name: infoblox-credentials
         gridHost: ${INFOBLOX_GRID_PUBLIC_IP}
         wapiPort: 443
         wapiVersion: "2.3.1"
     domains:
     - filterType: Include
       matchType: Exact
       name: test.example.com
     source:
       type: OpenShiftRoute 3
       openshiftRouteOptions:
         routerName: default 4

   1

   Specifies the External DNS name.

   2

   Defines the provider type.

   3

   You can define options for the source of DNS records.

   4

   If the source type is OpenShiftRoute, you can pass the OpenShift Ingress Controller name. External DNS selects the canonical hostname of that router as the target while creating CNAME record.

4. Create the ExternalDNS resource on Infoblox by running the following command:

   $ oc create -f external-dns-sample-infoblox.yaml

5. From the Infoblox UI, check the DNS records created for console routes:

   1. Click Data Management → DNS → Zones.
   2. Select the zone name.

Procedure

1. Create the config map to contain the CA bundle in the external-dns-operator namespace by running the following command:

   $ oc -n external-dns-operator create configmap trusted-ca

2. To inject the trusted CA bundle into the config map, add the config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle=true label to the config map by running the following command:

   $ oc -n external-dns-operator label cm trusted-ca config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle=true

3. Update the subscription of the External DNS Operator by running the following command:

   $ oc -n external-dns-operator patch subscription external-dns-operator --type='json' -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/config", "value":{"env":[{"name":"TRUSTED_CA_CONFIGMAP_NAME","value":"trusted-ca"}]}}]'

Procedure

1. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges.

2. Generate the default project template:

   $ oc adm create-bootstrap-project-template -o yaml > template.yaml

3. Use a text editor to modify the generated template.yaml file by adding objects or modifying existing objects.

4. The project template must be created in the openshift-config namespace. Load your modified template:

   $ oc create -f template.yaml -n openshift-config

5. Edit the project configuration resource using the web console or CLI.

   • Using the web console:

     1. Navigate to the Administration → Cluster Settings page.
     2. Click Configuration to view all configuration resources.
     3. Find the entry for Project and click Edit YAML.

   • Using the CLI:

     1. Edit the project.config.openshift.io/cluster resource:

        $ oc edit project.config.openshift.io/cluster

6. Update the spec section to include the projectRequestTemplate and name parameters, and set the name of your uploaded project template. The default name is project-request.

   Project configuration resource with custom project template

   apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
   kind: Project
   metadata:
   # ...
   spec:
     projectRequestTemplate:
       name: <template_name>
   # ...

7. After you save your changes, create a new project to verify that your changes were successfully applied.

Procedure

1. Edit the default template for a new project by running the following command:

   $ oc edit template <project_template> -n openshift-config

   Replace <project_template> with the name of the default template that you configured for your cluster. The default template name is project-request.

2. In the template, add each NetworkPolicy object as an element to the objects parameter. The objects parameter accepts a collection of one or more objects.

   In the following example, the objects parameter collection includes several NetworkPolicy objects.

   objects:
   - apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
     kind: NetworkPolicy
     metadata:
       name: allow-from-same-namespace
     spec:
       podSelector: {}
       ingress:
       - from:
         - podSelector: {}
   - apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
     kind: NetworkPolicy
     metadata:
       name: allow-from-openshift-ingress
     spec:
       ingress:
       - from:
         - namespaceSelector:

       - Ingress
   - apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
     kind: NetworkPolicy
     metadata:
       name: allow-from-kube-apiserver-operator
     spec:
       ingress:
       - from:
         - namespaceSelector:
             matchLabels:
               kubernetes.io/metadata.name: openshift-kube-apiserver-operator
           podSelector:
             matchLabels:
               app: kube-apiserver-operator
       policyTypes:
       - Ingress
   ...

3. Optional: Create a new project to confirm that your network policy objects are created successfully by running the following commands:

   1. Create a new project:

      $ oc new-project <project> 1

      1

      Replace <project> with the name for the project you are creating.

   2. Confirm that the network policy objects in the new project template exist in the new project:

      $ oc get networkpolicy
      NAME                           POD-SELECTOR   AGE
      allow-from-openshift-ingress   <none>         7s
      allow-from-same-namespace      <none>         7s

Procedure

1. Create the following NetworkPolicy objects:

   1. A policy named allow-from-openshift-ingress.

      $ cat << EOF| oc create -f -
      apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

Procedure

1. Install the Ingress Node Firewall Operator:

   1. In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, click Operators → OperatorHub.
   2. Select Ingress Node Firewall Operator from the list of available Operators, and then click Install.
   3. On the Install Operator page, under Installed Namespace, select Operator recommended Namespace.
   4. Click Install.

2. Verify that the Ingress Node Firewall Operator is installed successfully:

   1. Navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.

   2. Ensure that Ingress Node Firewall Operator is listed in the openshift-ingress-node-firewall project with a Status of InstallSucceeded.

      Note

      During installation an Operator might display a Failed status. If the installation later succeeds with an InstallSucceeded message, you can ignore the Failed message.

      If the Operator does not have a Status of InstallSucceeded, troubleshoot using the following steps:

      • Inspect the Operator Subscriptions and Install Plans tabs for any failures or errors under Status.
      • Navigate to the Workloads → Pods page and check the logs for pods in the openshift-ingress-node-firewall project.

      • Check the namespace of the YAML file. If the annotation is missing, you can add the annotation workload.openshift.io/allowed=management to the Operator namespace with the following command:

        $ oc annotate ns/openshift-ingress-node-firewall workload.openshift.io/allowed=management

        Note

        For single-node OpenShift clusters, the openshift-ingress-node-firewall namespace requires the workload.openshift.io/allowed=management annotation.

Procedure

1. Optional: To view the names of the EgressFirewall objects defined in your cluster, enter the following command:

   $ oc get egressfirewall --all-namespaces

2. To inspect a policy, enter the following command. Replace <policy_name> with the name of the policy to inspect.

   $ oc describe egressfirewall <policy_name>

   Example output

   Name:		default
   Namespace:	project1
   Created:	20 minutes ago
   Labels:		<none>
   Annotations:	<none>
   Rule:		Allow to 1.2.3.0/24
   Rule:		Allow to www.example.com
   Rule:		Deny to 0.0.0.0/0

Procedure

1. Find the name of the EgressFirewall object for the project. Replace <project> with the name of the project.

   $ oc get -n <project> egressfirewall

2. Optional: If you did not save a copy of the EgressFirewall object when you created the egress network firewall, enter the following command to create a copy.

   $ oc get -n <project> egressfirewall <name> -o yaml > <filename>.yaml

   Replace <project> with the name of the project. Replace <name> with the name of the object. Replace <filename> with the name of the file to save the YAML to.

3. After making changes to the policy rules, enter the following command to replace the EgressFirewall object. Replace <filename> with the name of the file containing the updated EgressFirewall object.

   $ oc replace -f <filename>.yaml

Procedure

1. Find the name of the EgressFirewall object for the project. Replace <project> with the name of the project.

   $ oc get -n <project> egressfirewall

2. Enter the following command to delete the EgressFirewall object. Replace <project> with the name of the project and <name> with the name of the object.

   $ oc delete -n <project> egressfirewall <name>

Procedure

1. Create a policy rule:

   1. Create a <policy_name>.yaml file where <policy_name> describes the egress policy rules.
   2. In the file you created, define an egress policy object.

2. Enter the following command to create the policy object. Replace <policy_name> with the name of the policy and <project> with the project that the rule applies to.

   $ oc create -f <policy_name>.yaml -n <project>

   In the following example, a new EgressFirewall object is created in a project named project1:

   $ oc create -f default.yaml -n project1

   Example output

   egressfirewall.k8s.ovn.org/v1 created

3. Optional: Save the <policy_name>.yaml file so that you can make changes later.
