Chapter 13. Installing a cluster on AWS in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.15, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using infrastructure that you provide and an internal mirror of the installation release content.
While you can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using mirrored installation release content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the AWS APIs.
One way to create this infrastructure is to use the provided CloudFormation templates. You can modify the templates to customize your infrastructure or use the information that they contain to create AWS objects according to your company’s policies.
The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of OpenShift Container Platform. Several CloudFormation templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example.
13.1. Prerequisites
- You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
- You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
You created a mirror registry on your mirror host and obtained the
imageContentSources
data for your version of OpenShift Container Platform.ImportantBecause the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps.
You configured an AWS account to host the cluster.
ImportantIf you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-term credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program.
- You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix) in the AWS documentation.
If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
NoteBe sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
-
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the
kube-system
namespace, you can manually create and maintain long-term credentials.
13.2. About installations in restricted networks
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, you can perform an installation that does not require an active connection to the internet to obtain software components. Restricted network installations can be completed using installer-provisioned infrastructure or user-provisioned infrastructure, depending on the cloud platform to which you are installing the cluster.
If you choose to perform a restricted network installation on a cloud platform, you still require access to its cloud APIs. Some cloud functions, like Amazon Web Service’s Route 53 DNS and IAM services, require internet access. Depending on your network, you might require less internet access for an installation on bare metal hardware, Nutanix, or on VMware vSphere.
To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift image registry and contains the installation media. You can create this registry on a mirror host, which can access both the internet and your closed network, or by using other methods that meet your restrictions.
Because of the complexity of the configuration for user-provisioned installations, consider completing a standard user-provisioned infrastructure installation before you attempt a restricted network installation using user-provisioned infrastructure. Completing this test installation might make it easier to isolate and troubleshoot any issues that might arise during your installation in a restricted network.
13.2.1. Additional limits
Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions:
-
The
ClusterVersion
status includes anUnable to retrieve available updates
error. - By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags.
13.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, you require access to the internet to obtain the images that are necessary to install your cluster.
You must have internet access to:
- Access OpenShift Cluster Manager to download the installation program and perform subscription management. If the cluster has internet access and you do not disable Telemetry, that service automatically entitles your cluster.
- Access Quay.io to obtain the packages that are required to install your cluster.
- Obtain the packages that are required to perform cluster updates.
13.4. Requirements for a cluster with user-provisioned infrastructure
For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines.
This section describes the requirements for deploying OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure.
13.4.1. Required machines for cluster installation
The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts:
Hosts | Description |
---|---|
One temporary bootstrap machine | The cluster requires the bootstrap machine to deploy the OpenShift Container Platform cluster on the three control plane machines. You can remove the bootstrap machine after you install the cluster. |
Three control plane machines | The control plane machines run the Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform services that form the control plane. |
At least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines. | The workloads requested by OpenShift Container Platform users run on the compute machines. |
To maintain high availability of your cluster, use separate physical hosts for these cluster machines.
The bootstrap and control plane machines must use Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) as the operating system. However, the compute machines can choose between Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.6 and later.
Note that RHCOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.2 and inherits all of its hardware certifications and requirements. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux technology capabilities and limits.
13.4.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation
Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements:
Machine | Operating System | vCPU [1] | Virtual RAM | Storage | Input/Output Per Second (IOPS)[2] |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bootstrap | RHCOS | 4 | 16 GB | 100 GB | 300 |
Control plane | RHCOS | 4 | 16 GB | 100 GB | 300 |
Compute | RHCOS, RHEL 8.6 and later [3] | 2 | 8 GB | 100 GB | 300 |
- One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or Hyper-Threading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core × cores) × sockets = vCPUs.
- OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes are sensitive to disk performance, and faster storage is recommended, particularly for etcd on the control plane nodes which require a 10 ms p99 fsync duration. Note that on many cloud platforms, storage size and IOPS scale together, so you might need to over-allocate storage volume to obtain sufficient performance.
- As with all user-provisioned installations, if you choose to use RHEL compute machines in your cluster, you take responsibility for all operating system life cycle management and maintenance, including performing system updates, applying patches, and completing all other required tasks. Use of RHEL 7 compute machines is deprecated and has been removed in OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and later.
As of OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13, RHCOS is based on RHEL version 9.2, which updates the micro-architecture requirements. The following list contains the minimum instruction set architectures (ISA) that each architecture requires:
- x86-64 architecture requires x86-64-v2 ISA
- ARM64 architecture requires ARMv8.0-A ISA
- IBM Power architecture requires Power 9 ISA
- s390x architecture requires z14 ISA
For more information, see RHEL Architectures.
If an instance type for your platform meets the minimum requirements for cluster machines, it is supported to use in OpenShift Container Platform.

13.4.3. Tested instance types for AWS
The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types have been tested with OpenShift Container Platform.
Use the machine types included in the following charts for your AWS instances. If you use an instance type that is not listed in the chart, ensure that the instance size you use matches the minimum resource requirements that are listed in the section named "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation".
Example 13.1. Machine types based on 64-bit x86 architecture
-

13.4.4. Tested instance types for AWS on 64-bit ARM infrastructures
The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) 64-bit ARM instance types have been tested with OpenShift Container Platform.
Use the machine types included in the following charts for your AWS ARM instances. If you use an instance type that is not listed in the chart, ensure that the instance size you use matches the minimum resource requirements that are listed in "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation".
Example 13.2. Machine types based on 64-bit ARM architecture
-
c6g.*
-
m6g.*
-
r8g.*
13.4.5. Certificate signing requests management
Because your cluster has limited access to automatic machine management when you use infrastructure that you provision, you must provide a mechanism for approving cluster certificate signing requests (CSRs) after installation. The kube-controller-manager
only approves the kubelet client CSRs. The machine-approver
cannot guarantee the validity of a serving certificate that is requested by using kubelet credentials because it cannot confirm that the correct machine issued the request. You must determine and implement a method of verifying the validity of the kubelet serving certificate requests and approving them.
13.5. Required AWS infrastructure components
To install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must manually create both the machines and their supporting infrastructure.
For more information about the integration testing for different platforms, see the OpenShift Container Platform 4.x Tested Integrations page.
By using the provided CloudFormation templates, you can create stacks of AWS resources that represent the following components:
- An AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- Networking and load balancing components
- Security groups and roles
- An OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap node
- OpenShift Container Platform control plane nodes
- An OpenShift Container Platform compute node
Alternatively, you can manually create the components or you can reuse existing infrastructure that meets the cluster requirements. Review the CloudFormation templates for more details about how the components interrelate.
13.5.1. Other infrastructure components
- A VPC
- DNS entries
- Load balancers (classic or network) and listeners
- A public and a private Route 53 zone
- Security groups
- IAM roles
- S3 buckets
If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2, ELB, and S3 endpoints. Depending on the level to which you want to restrict internet traffic during the installation, the following configuration options are available:
Option 1: Create VPC endpoints
Create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnets that the clusters are using. Name the endpoints as follows:
-
ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
-
elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
-
s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
With this option, network traffic remains private between your VPC and the required AWS services.
Option 2: Create a proxy without VPC endpoints
As part of the installation process, you can configure an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. With this option, internet traffic goes through the proxy to reach the required AWS services.
Option 3: Create a proxy with VPC endpoints
As part of the installation process, you can configure an HTTP or HTTPS proxy with VPC endpoints. Create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnets that the clusters are using. Name the endpoints as follows:
-
ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
-
elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
-
s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
When configuring the proxy in the install-config.yaml
file, add these endpoints to the noProxy
field. With this option, the proxy prevents the cluster from accessing the internet directly. However, network traffic remains private between your VPC and the required AWS services.
Required VPC components
You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines.
Component | AWS type | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
VPC |
| You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. | |
Public subnets |
| Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. | |
Internet gateway |
| You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. | |
Network access control |
| You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: | |
Port | Reason | ||
| Inbound HTTP traffic | ||
| Inbound HTTPS traffic | ||
| Inbound SSH traffic | ||
| Inbound ephemeral traffic | ||
| Outbound ephemeral traffic | ||
Private subnets |
| Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. |
Required DNS and load balancing components
Your DNS and load balancer configuration needs to use a public hosted zone and can use a private hosted zone similar to the one that the installation program uses if it provisions the cluster’s infrastructure. You must create a DNS entry that resolves to your load balancer. An entry for api.<cluster_name>.<domain>
must point to the external load balancer, and an entry for api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain>
must point to the internal load balancer.
The cluster also requires load balancers and listeners for port 6443, which are required for the Kubernetes API and its extensions, and port 22623, which are required for the Ignition config files for new machines. The targets will be the control plane nodes. Port 6443 must be accessible to both clients external to the cluster and nodes within the cluster. Port 22623 must be accessible to nodes within the cluster.
Component | AWS type | Description |
---|---|---|
DNS |
| The hosted zone for your internal DNS. |
Public load balancer |
| The load balancer for your public subnets. |
External API server record |
| Alias records for the external API server. |
External listener |
| A listener on port 6443 for the external load balancer. |
External target group |
| The target group for the external load balancer. |
Private load balancer |
| The load balancer for your private subnets. |
Internal API server record |
| Alias records for the internal API server. |
Internal listener |
| A listener on port 22623 for the internal load balancer. |
Internal target group |
| The target group for the internal load balancer. |
Internal listener |
| A listener on port 6443 for the internal load balancer. |
Internal target group |
| The target group for the internal load balancer. |
Security groups
The control plane and worker machines require access to the following ports:
Group | Type | IP Protocol | Port range |

Roles and instance profiles
You must grant the machines permissions in AWS. The provided CloudFormation templates grant the machines Allow
permissions for the following AWS::IAM::Role
objects and provide a AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile
for each set of roles. If you do not use the templates, you can grant the machines the following broad permissions or the following individual permissions.
Role | Effect | Action | Resource |
---|---|---|---|

13.5.2. Cluster machines
You need AWS::EC2::Instance
objects for the following machines:
- A bootstrap machine. This machine is required during installation, but you can remove it after your cluster deploys.
- Three control plane machines. The control plane machines are not governed by a control plane machine set.
- Compute machines. You must create at least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, during installation. These machines are not governed by a compute machine set.
13.5.3. Required AWS permissions for the IAM user
Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources
in the region us-east-1
to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region.
When you attach the AdministratorAccess
policy to the IAM user that you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you grant that user all of the required permissions. To deploy all components of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the IAM user requires the following permissions:

13.6. Generating a key pair for cluster node SSH access
During an OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can provide an SSH public key to the installation program. The key is passed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) nodes through their Ignition config files and is used to authenticate SSH access to the nodes. The key is added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list for the core
user on each node, which enables password-less authentication.
After the key is passed to the nodes, you can use the key pair to SSH in to the RHCOS nodes as the user core
. To access the nodes through SSH, the private key identity must be managed by SSH for your local user.
If you want to SSH in to your cluster nodes to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide the SSH public key during the installation process. The ./openshift-install gather
command also requires the SSH public key to be in place on the cluster nodes.
Do not skip this procedure in production environments, where disaster recovery and debugging is required.
You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs.
Procedure
If you do not have an existing SSH key pair on your local machine to use for authentication onto your cluster nodes, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path>/<file_name> 1
- 1
- Specify the path and file name, such as
~/.ssh/id_ed25519
, of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your~/.ssh
directory.
NoteIf you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses the RHEL cryptographic libraries that have been submitted to NIST for FIPS 140-2/140-3 Validation on only the
x86_64
,ppc64le
, ands390x
architectures, do not create a key that uses theed25519
algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses thersa
orecdsa
algorithm.View the public SSH key:
$ cat <path>/<file_name>.pub
For example, run the following to view the
~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
public key:$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Add the SSH private key identity to the SSH agent for your local user, if it has not already been added. SSH agent management of the key is required for password-less SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes, or if you want to use the
./openshift-install gather
command.NoteOn some distributions, default SSH private key identities such as
~/.ssh/id_rsa
and~/.ssh/id_dsa
are managed automatically.If the
ssh-agent
process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
Example output
Agent pid 31874
NoteIf your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA.
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1
- 1
- Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as
~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Example output
Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
Next steps
- When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. If you install a cluster on infrastructure that you provision, you must provide the key to the installation program.
13.7. Creating the installation files for AWS
To install OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must generate the files that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster and modify them so that the cluster creates only the machines that it will use. You generate and customize the install-config.yaml
file, Kubernetes manifests, and Ignition config files. You also have the option to first set up a separate var
partition during the preparation phases of installation.
13.7.1. Optional: Creating a separate /var
partition
It is recommended that disk partitioning for OpenShift Container Platform be left to the installer. However, there are cases where you might want to create separate partitions in a part of the filesystem that you expect to grow.
OpenShift Container Platform supports the addition of a single partition to attach storage to either the /var
partition or a subdirectory of /var
. For example:
-
/var/lib/containers
: Holds container-related content that can grow as more images and containers are added to a system. -
/var/lib/etcd
: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as performance optimization of etcd storage. -
/var
: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as auditing.
Storing the contents of a /var
directory separately makes it easier to grow storage for those areas as needed and reinstall OpenShift Container Platform at a later date and keep that data intact. With this method, you will not have to pull all your containers again, nor will you have to copy massive log files when you update systems.
Because /var
must be in place before a fresh installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), the following procedure sets up the separate /var
partition by creating a machine config manifest that is inserted during the openshift-install
preparation phases of an OpenShift Container Platform installation.
If you follow the steps to create a separate /var
partition in this procedure, it is not necessary to create the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files again as described later in this section.
Procedure
Create a directory to hold the OpenShift Container Platform installation files:
$ mkdir $HOME/clusterconfig
Run
openshift-install
to create a set of files in themanifest
andopenshift
subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted:$ openshift-install create manifests --dir $HOME/clusterconfig
Example output
? SSH Public Key ... INFO Credentials loaded from the "myprofile" profile in file "/home/myuser/.aws/credentials" INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory INFO Manifests created in: $HOME/clusterconfig/manifests and $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift
Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the
clusterconfig/openshift
directory:$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/
Example output
99_kubeadmin-password-secret.yaml 99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-0.yaml 99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-1.yaml 99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-2.yaml ...
Create a Butane config that configures the additional partition. For example, name the file
$HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu
, change the disk device name to the name of the storage device on theworker
systems, and set the storage size as appropriate. This example places the/var
directory on a separate partition:variant: openshift version: 4.15.0 metadata: labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker name: 98-var-partition storage: disks: - device: /dev/disk/by-id/<device_name> 1 partitions: - label: var start_mib: <partition_start_offset> 2 size_mib: <partition_size> 3 number: 5 filesystems: - device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var path: /var format: xfs mount_options: [defaults, prjquota] 4 with_mount_unit: true
- 1
- The storage device name of the disk that you want to partition.
- 2
- When adding a data partition to the boot disk, a minimum value of 25000 MiB (Mebibytes) is recommended. The root file system is automatically resized to fill all available space up to the specified offset. If no value is specified, or if the specified value is smaller than the recommended minimum, the resulting root file system will be too small, and future reinstalls of RHCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition.
- 3
- The size of the data partition in mebibytes.
- 4
- The
prjquota
mount option must be enabled for filesystems used for container storage.
NoteWhen creating a separate
/var
partition, you cannot use different instance types for worker nodes, if the different instance types do not have the same device name.Create a manifest from the Butane config and save it to the
clusterconfig/openshift
directory. For example, run the following command:$ butane $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/98-var-partition.yaml
Run
openshift-install
again to create Ignition configs from a set of files in themanifest
andopenshift
subdirectories:$ openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir $HOME/clusterconfig $ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/ auth bootstrap.ign master.ign metadata.json worker.ign
Now you can use the Ignition config files as input to the installation procedures to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) systems.
13.7.2. Creating the installation configuration file
Generate and customize the installation configuration file that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster.
Prerequisites
- You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program for user-provisioned infrastructure and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
-
You checked that you are deploying your cluster to an AWS Region with an accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI published by Red Hat. If you are deploying to an AWS Region that requires a custom AMI, such as an AWS GovCloud Region, you must create the
install-config.yaml
file manually.
Procedure
Create the
install-config.yaml
file.Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command:
$ ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the directory name to store the files that the installation program creates.
ImportantSpecify an empty directory. Some installation assets, like bootstrap X.509 certificates have short expiration intervals, so you must not reuse an installation directory. If you want to reuse individual files from another cluster installation, you can copy them into your directory. However, the file names for the installation assets might change between releases. Use caution when copying installation files from an earlier OpenShift Container Platform version.
At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud:
Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines.
NoteFor production OpenShift Container Platform clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your
ssh-agent
process uses.- Select aws as the platform to target.
If you do not have an AWS profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program.
NoteThe AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in
~/.aws/credentials
in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file.- Select the AWS Region to deploy the cluster to.
- Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured for your cluster.
- Enter a descriptive name for your cluster.
- Paste the pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.
Edit the
install-config.yaml
file to give the additional information that is required for an installation in a restricted network.Update the
pullSecret
value to contain the authentication information for your registry:pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<local_registry>": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}'
For
<local_registry>
, specify the registry domain name, and optionally the port, that your mirror registry uses to serve content. For exampleregistry.example.com
orregistry.example.com:5000
. For<credentials>
, specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry.Add the
additionalTrustBundle
parameter and value. The value must be the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry. The certificate file can be an existing, trusted certificate authority or the self-signed certificate that you generated for the mirror registry.additionalTrustBundle: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -----END CERTIFICATE-----
Add the image content resources:
imageContentSources: - mirrors: - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release - mirrors: - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev
Use the
imageContentSources
section from the output of the command to mirror the repository or the values that you used when you mirrored the content from the media that you brought into your restricted network.Optional: Set the publishing strategy to
Internal
:publish: Internal
By setting this option, you create an internal Ingress Controller and a private load balancer.
Optional: Back up the
install-config.yaml
file.ImportantThe
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
Additional resources
- See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration.
13.7.3. Configuring the cluster-wide proxy during installation
Production environments can deny direct access to the internet and instead have an HTTP or HTTPS proxy available. You can configure a new OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use a proxy by configuring the proxy settings in the install-config.yaml
file.
Prerequisites
-
You have an existing
install-config.yaml
file. You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the
Proxy
object’sspec.noProxy
field to bypass the proxy if necessary.NoteThe
Proxy
objectstatus.noProxy
field is populated with the values of thenetworking.machineNetwork[].cidr
,networking.clusterNetwork[].cidr
, andnetworking.serviceNetwork[]
fields from your installation configuration.For installations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), the
Proxy
objectstatus.noProxy
field is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254
).
Procedure
Edit your
install-config.yaml
file and add the proxy settings. For example:apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: my.domain.com proxy: httpProxy: http://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 1 httpsProxy: https://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 2 noProxy: ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- additionalTrustBundlePolicy: <policy_to_add_additionalTrustBundle> 5
- 1
- A proxy URL to use for creating HTTP connections outside the cluster. The URL scheme must be
http
. - 2
- A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster.
- 3
- A comma-separated list of destination domain names, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude from proxying. Preface a domain with
.
to match subdomains only. For example,.y.com
matchesx.y.com
, but noty.com
. Use*
to bypass the proxy for all destinations. If you have added the AmazonEC2
,Elastic Load Balancing
, andS3
VPC endpoints to your VPC, you must add these endpoints to thenoProxy
field. - 4
- If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named
user-ca-bundle
in theopenshift-config
namespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates atrusted-ca-bundle
config map that merges these contents with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in thetrustedCA
field of theProxy
object. TheadditionalTrustBundle
field is required unless the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. - 5
- Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the
Proxy
object to reference theuser-ca-bundle
config map in thetrustedCA
field. The allowed values areProxyonly
andAlways
. UseProxyonly
to reference theuser-ca-bundle
config map only whenhttp/https
proxy is configured. UseAlways
to always reference theuser-ca-bundle
config map. The default value isProxyonly
.
NoteThe installation program does not support the proxy
readinessEndpoints
field.NoteIf the installer times out, restart and then complete the deployment by using the
wait-for
command of the installer. For example:$ ./openshift-install wait-for install-complete --log-level debug
- Save the file and reference it when installing OpenShift Container Platform.
The installation program creates a cluster-wide proxy that is named cluster
that uses the proxy settings in the provided install-config.yaml
file. If no proxy settings are provided, a cluster
Proxy
object is still created, but it will have a nil spec
.
Only the Proxy
object named cluster
is supported, and no additional proxies can be created.
13.7.4. Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files
Because you must modify some cluster definition files and manually start the cluster machines, you must generate the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files that the cluster needs to configure the machines.
The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to configure the cluster machines.
-
The Ignition config files that the OpenShift Container Platform installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending
node-bootstrapper
certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information. - It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.
Prerequisites
- You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
-
You created the
install-config.yaml
installation configuration file.
Procedure
Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the installation directory that contains theinstall-config.yaml
file you created.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml
By removing these files, you prevent the cluster from automatically generating control plane machines.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machine set:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-machine-api_master-control-plane-machine-set.yaml
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml
ImportantIf you disabled the
MachineAPI
capability when installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure, you must remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines. Otherwise, your cluster fails to install.Because you create and manage the worker machines yourself, you do not need to initialize these machines.
Check that the
mastersSchedulable
parameter in the<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
Kubernetes manifest file is set tofalse
. This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines:-
Open the
<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
file. -
Locate the
mastersSchedulable
parameter and ensure that it is set tofalse
. - Save and exit the file.
-
Open the
Optional: If you do not want the Ingress Operator to create DNS records on your behalf, remove the
privateZone
andpublicZone
sections from the<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-dns-02-config.yml
DNS configuration file:apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: DNS metadata: creationTimestamp: null name: cluster spec: baseDomain: example.openshift.com privateZone: 1 id: mycluster-100419-private-zone publicZone: 2 id: example.openshift.com status: {}
If you do so, you must add ingress DNS records manually in a later step.
To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program:
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir <installation_directory> 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the same installation directory.
Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The
kubeadmin-password
andkubeconfig
files are created in the./<installation_directory>/auth
directory:. ├── auth │ ├── kubeadmin-password │ └── kubeconfig ├── bootstrap.ign ├── master.ign ├── metadata.json └── worker.ign
Additional resources
13.8. Extracting the infrastructure name
The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Amazon Web Services (AWS). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate AWS resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided CloudFormation templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it.
Prerequisites
- You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
- You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
-
You installed the
jq
package.
Procedure
To extract and view the infrastructure name from the Ignition config file metadata, run the following command:
$ jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
openshift-vw9j6 1
- 1
- The output of this command is your cluster name and a random string.
13.9. Creating a VPC in AWS
You must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements, including VPN and route tables.
You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC.
If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.
Prerequisites
- You configured an AWS account.
-
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running
aws configure
. - You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
Procedure
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
[ { "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 1 "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "AvailabilityZoneCount", 3 "ParameterValue": "1" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "SubnetBits", 5 "ParameterValue": "12" 6 } ]
- Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC:
ImportantYou must enter the command on a single line.
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
- 1
<name>
is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such ascluster-vpc
. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.- 2
<template>
is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.- 3
<parameters>
is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
Example output
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-vpc/dbedae40-2fd3-11eb-820e-12a48460849f
Confirm that the template components exist:
$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>
After the
StackStatus
displaysCREATE_COMPLETE
, the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster:VpcId
The ID of your VPC.
PublicSubnetIds
The IDs of the new public subnets.
PrivateSubnetIds
The IDs of the new private subnets.
13.9.1. CloudFormation template for the VPC
You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Example 13.17. CloudFormation template for the VPC

13.10. Creating networking and load balancing components in AWS
You must configure networking and classic or network load balancing in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster can use.
You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the networking and load balancing components that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires. The template also creates a hosted zone and subnet tags.
You can run the template multiple times within a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.
Prerequisites
- You configured an AWS account.
-
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running
aws configure
. - You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
- You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
Procedure
Obtain the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 base domain that you specified in the
install-config.yaml
file for your cluster. You can obtain details about your hosted zone by running the following command:$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name --dns-name <route53_domain> 1
- 1
- For the
<route53_domain>
, specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated theinstall-config.yaml
file for the cluster.
Example output

Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the network and load balancers section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking and load balancing objects that your cluster requires.
ImportantIf you are deploying your cluster to an AWS government or secret region, you must update the
InternalApiServerRecord
in the CloudFormation template to useCNAME
records. Records of typeALIAS
are not supported for AWS government regions.Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that provide the networking and load balancing components:
ImportantYou must enter the command on a single line.
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4

13.12. Accessing RHCOS AMIs with stream metadata
In OpenShift Container Platform, stream metadata provides standardized metadata about RHCOS in the JSON format and injects the metadata into the cluster. Stream metadata is a stable format that supports multiple architectures and is intended to be self-documenting for maintaining automation.
You can use the coreos print-stream-json
sub-command of openshift-install
to access information about the boot images in the stream metadata format. This command provides a method for printing stream metadata in a scriptable, machine-readable format.
For user-provisioned installations, the openshift-install
binary contains references to the version of RHCOS boot images that are tested for use with OpenShift Container Platform, such as the AWS AMI.
Procedure
To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods:
-
From a Go program, use the official
stream-metadata-go
library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go. You can also view example code in the library. - From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language.
From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as
jq
:Print the current
x86_64
oraarch64
AMI for an AWS region, such asus-west-1
:For x86_64
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
Example output
ami-0d3e625f84626bbda
For aarch64
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.aarch64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
Example output
ami-0af1d3b7fa5be2131
The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for your designated architecture and the
us-west-1
region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster.
13.13. RHCOS AMIs for the AWS infrastructure
Red Hat provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMIs that are valid for the various AWS regions and instance architectures that you can manually specify for your OpenShift Container Platform nodes.
By importing your own AMI, you can also install to regions that do not have a published RHCOS AMI.

13.14. Creating the bootstrap node in AWS
You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OpenShift Container Platform cluster initialization. You do this by:
-
Providing a location to serve the
bootstrap.ign
Ignition config file to your cluster. This file is located in your installation directory. The provided CloudFormation Template assumes that the Ignition config files for your cluster are served from an S3 bucket. If you choose to serve the files from another location, you must modify the templates. - Using the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the bootstrap node that your OpenShift Container Platform installation requires.
If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your bootstrap node, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.
Prerequisites
- You configured an AWS account.
-
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running
aws configure
. - You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
- You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
- You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
- You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
Procedure
Create the bucket by running the following command:
$ aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra 1
- 1
<cluster-name>-infra
is the bucket name. When creating theinstall-config.yaml
file, replace<cluster-name>
with the name specified for the cluster.
You must use a presigned URL for your S3 bucket, instead of the
s3://
schema, if you are:- Deploying to a region that has endpoints that differ from the AWS SDK.
- Deploying a proxy.
- Providing your own custom endpoints.
Upload the
bootstrap.ign
Ignition config file to the bucket by running the following command:$ aws s3 cp <installation_directory>/bootstrap.ign s3://<cluster-name>-infra/bootstrap.ign 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify that the file uploaded by running the following command:
$ aws s3 ls s3://<cluster-name>-infra/
Example output
2019-04-03 16:15:16 314878 bootstrap.ign
NoteThe bootstrap Ignition config file does contain secrets, like X.509 keys. The following steps provide basic security for the S3 bucket. To provide additional security, you can enable an S3 bucket policy to allow only certain users, such as the OpenShift IAM user, to access objects that the bucket contains. You can avoid S3 entirely and serve your bootstrap Ignition config file from any address that the bootstrap machine can reach.
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
[ { "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1 "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3 "ParameterValue": "ami-<random_string>" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "AllowedBootstrapSshCidr", 5 "ParameterValue": "0.0.0.0/0" 6 }, { "ParameterKey": "PublicSubnet", 7 "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 8 }, { "ParameterKey": "MasterSecurityGroupId", 9 "ParameterValue": "sg-<random_string>" 10 }, { "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 11 "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 12 }, { "ParameterKey": "BootstrapIgnitionLocation", 13 "ParameterValue": "s3://<bucket_name>/bootstrap.ign" 14 }, { "ParameterKey": "AutoRegisterELB", 15 "ParameterValue": "yes" 16 }, { "ParameterKey": "RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambdaArn", 17 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:lambda:<aws_region>:<account_number>:function:<dns_stack_name>-RegisterNlbIpTargets-<random_string>" 18 }, { "ParameterKey": "ExternalApiTargetGroupArn", 19 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Exter-<random_string>" 20 }, { "ParameterKey": "InternalApiTargetGroupArn", 21 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 22 }, { "ParameterKey": "InternalServiceTargetGroupArn", 23 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 24 } ]

- Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the bootstrap machine section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the bootstrap machine that your cluster requires.
-
Optional: If you are deploying the cluster with a proxy, you must update the ignition in the template to add the
ignition.config.proxy
fields. Additionally, If you have added the Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, and S3 VPC endpoints to your VPC, you must add these endpoints to thenoProxy
field. Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the bootstrap node:
ImportantYou must enter the command on a single line.

13.17. Initializing the bootstrap sequence on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure
After you create all of the required infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can start the bootstrap sequence that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane.
Prerequisites
- You configured an AWS account.
-
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running
aws configure
. - You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
- You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
- You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
- You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
- You created the bootstrap machine.
- You created the control plane machines.
- You created the worker nodes.
Procedure
Change to the directory that contains the installation program and start the bootstrap process that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane:
$ ./openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2
Example output
INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443... INFO API v1.28.5 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources INFO Time elapsed: 1s
If the command exits without a
FATAL
warning, your OpenShift Container Platform control plane has initialized.NoteAfter the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators.
Additional resources
- See Monitoring installation progress for details about monitoring the installation, bootstrap, and control plane logs as an OpenShift Container Platform installation progresses.
- See Gathering bootstrap node diagnostic data for information about troubleshooting issues related to the bootstrap process.
13.18. Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI
You can log in to your cluster as a default system user by exporting the cluster kubeconfig
file. The kubeconfig
file contains information about the cluster that is used by the CLI to connect a client to the correct cluster and API server. The file is specific to a cluster and is created during OpenShift Container Platform installation.
Prerequisites
- You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
You installed the
oc
CLI.
Procedure
Export the
kubeadmin
credentials:$ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify you can run
oc
commands successfully using the exported configuration:$ oc whoami
Example output
system:admin
13.19. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines
When you add machines to a cluster, two pending certificate signing requests (CSRs) are generated for each machine that you added. You must confirm that these CSRs are approved or, if necessary, approve them yourself. The client requests must be approved first, followed by the server requests.
Prerequisites
- You added machines to your cluster.
Procedure
Confirm that the cluster recognizes the machines:
$ oc get nodes
Example output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.28.5 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.28.5 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.28.5
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
NoteThe preceding output might not include the compute nodes, also known as worker nodes, until some CSRs are approved.
Review the pending CSRs and ensure that you see the client requests with the
Pending
orApproved
status for each machine that you added to the cluster:$ oc get csr
Example output
NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-8b2br 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending csr-8vnps 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending ...
In this example, two machines are joining the cluster. You might see more approved CSRs in the list.
If the CSRs were not approved, after all of the pending CSRs for the machines you added are in
Pending
status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:NoteBecause the CSRs rotate automatically, approve your CSRs within an hour of adding the machines to the cluster. If you do not approve them within an hour, the certificates will rotate, and more than two certificates will be present for each node. You must approve all of these certificates. After the client CSR is approved, the Kubelet creates a secondary CSR for the serving certificate, which requires manual approval. Then, subsequent serving certificate renewal requests are automatically approved by the
machine-approver
if the Kubelet requests a new certificate with identical parameters.NoteFor clusters running on platforms that are not machine API enabled, such as bare metal and other user-provisioned infrastructure, you must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests (CSRs). If a request is not approved, then the
oc exec
,oc rsh
, andoc logs
commands cannot succeed, because a serving certificate is required when the API server connects to the kubelet. Any operation that contacts the Kubelet endpoint requires this certificate approval to be in place. The method must watch for new CSRs, confirm that the CSR was submitted by thenode-bootstrapper
service account in thesystem:node
orsystem:admin
groups, and confirm the identity of the node.To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
- 1
<csr_name>
is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty oc adm certificate approve
NoteSome Operators might not become available until some CSRs are approved.
Now that your client requests are approved, you must review the server requests for each machine that you added to the cluster:
$ oc get csr
Example output
NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-bfd72 5m26s system:node:ip-10-0-50-126.us-east-2.compute.internal Pending csr-c57lv 5m26s system:node:ip-10-0-95-157.us-east-2.compute.internal Pending ...
If the remaining CSRs are not approved, and are in the
Pending
status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
- 1
<csr_name>
is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs oc adm certificate approve
After all client and server CSRs have been approved, the machines have the
Ready
status. Verify this by running the following command:$ oc get nodes
Example output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.28.5 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.28.5 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.28.5 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.28.5 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.28.5
NoteIt can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the
Ready
status.
Additional information
- For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests.
13.20. Initial Operator configuration
After the control plane initializes, you must immediately configure some Operators so that they all become available.
Prerequisites
- Your control plane has initialized.
Procedure
Watch the cluster components come online:

- Configure the Operators that are not available.
13.20.1. Disabling the default OperatorHub catalog sources
Operator catalogs that source content provided by Red Hat and community projects are configured for OperatorHub by default during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. In a restricted network environment, you must disable the default catalogs as a cluster administrator.
Procedure
Disable the sources for the default catalogs by adding
disableAllDefaultSources: true
to theOperatorHub
object:$ oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json \ -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]'
Alternatively, you can use the web console to manage catalog sources. From the Administration
13.20.2. Image registry storage configuration
Amazon Web Services provides default storage, which means the Image Registry Operator is available after installation. However, if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you must manually configure registry storage.
Instructions are shown for configuring a persistent volume, which is required for production clusters. Where applicable, instructions are shown for configuring an empty directory as the storage location, which is available for only non-production clusters.
Additional instructions are provided for allowing the image registry to use block storage types by using the Recreate
rollout strategy during upgrades.
13.20.2.1. Configuring registry storage for AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure
During installation, your cloud credentials are sufficient to create an Amazon S3 bucket and the Registry Operator will automatically configure storage.
If the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you can create an S3 bucket and configure storage with the following procedure.
Prerequisites
- You have a cluster on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure.
For Amazon S3 storage, the secret is expected to contain two keys:
-
REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY
-
REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY
-
Procedure
Use the following procedure if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage.
- Set up a Bucket Lifecycle Policy to abort incomplete multipart uploads that are one day old.
Fill in the storage configuration in
configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster
:$ oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster
Example configuration
storage: s3: bucket: <bucket-name> region: <region-name>
To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket.
13.20.2.2. Configuring storage for the image registry in non-production clusters
You must configure storage for the Image Registry Operator. For non-production clusters, you can set the image registry to an empty directory. If you do so, all images are lost if you restart the registry.
Procedure
To set the image registry storage to an empty directory:
$ oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}'
WarningConfigure this option for only non-production clusters.
If you run this command before the Image Registry Operator initializes its components, the
oc patch
command fails with the following error:Error from server (NotFound): configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io "cluster" not found
Wait a few minutes and run the command again.
13.21. Deleting the bootstrap resources
After you complete the initial Operator configuration for the cluster, remove the bootstrap resources from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Prerequisites
- You completed the initial Operator configuration for your cluster.
Procedure
Delete the bootstrap resources. If you used the CloudFormation template, delete its stack:
Delete the stack by using the AWS CLI:
$ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <name> 1
- 1
<name>
is the name of your bootstrap stack.
- Delete the stack by using the AWS CloudFormation console.
13.22. Creating the Ingress DNS Records
If you removed the DNS Zone configuration, manually create DNS records that point to the Ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard record or specific records. While the following procedure uses A records, you can use other record types that you require, such as CNAME or alias.
Prerequisites
- You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provisioned.
-
You installed the OpenShift CLI (
oc
). -
You installed the
jq
package. - You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix).
Procedure
Determine the routes to create.
-
To create a wildcard record, use
*.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
, where<cluster_name>
is your cluster name, and<domain_name>
is the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. To create specific records, you must create a record for each route that your cluster uses, as shown in the output of the following command:
$ oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes
Example output
oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> downloads-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
-
To create a wildcard record, use
Retrieve the Ingress Operator load balancer status and note the value of the external IP address that it uses, which is shown in the
EXTERNAL-IP
column:$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default
Example output
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.62.215 ab3...28.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31499/TCP,443:30693/TCP 5m
Locate the hosted zone ID for the load balancer:
$ aws elb describe-load-balancers | jq -r '.LoadBalancerDescriptions[] | select(.DNSName == "<external_ip>").CanonicalHostedZoneNameID' 1
- 1
- For
<external_ip>
, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer that you obtained.
Example output
Z3AADJGX6KTTL2
The output of this command is the load balancer hosted zone ID.
Obtain the public hosted zone ID for your cluster’s domain:
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \ --dns-name "<domain_name>" \ 1 --query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' 2 --output text
Example output
/hostedzone/Z3URY6TWQ91KVV
The public hosted zone ID for your domain is shown in the command output. In this example, it is
Z3URY6TWQ91KVV
.Add the alias records to your private zone:
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<private_hosted_zone_id>" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }'
- 1
- For
<private_hosted_zone_id>
, specify the value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. - 2
- For
<cluster_domain>
, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. - 3
- For
<hosted_zone_id>
, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. - 4
- For
<external_ip>
, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.
) in this parameter value.
Add the records to your public zone:
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<public_hosted_zone_id>"" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }'
- 1
- For
<public_hosted_zone_id>
, specify the public hosted zone for your domain. - 2
- For
<cluster_domain>
, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. - 3
- For
<hosted_zone_id>
, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. - 4
- For
<external_ip>
, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.
) in this parameter value.
13.23. Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure
After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion.
Prerequisites
- You removed the bootstrap node for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure.
-
You installed the
oc
CLI.
Procedure
From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation:
$ ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
INFO Waiting up to 40m0s for the cluster at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443 to initialize... INFO Waiting up to 10m0s for the openshift-console route to be created... INFO Install complete! INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig' INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "password" INFO Time elapsed: 1s
Important-
The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending
node-bootstrapper
certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information. - It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.
- Register your cluster on the Cluster registration page.
13.24. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console
The kubeadmin
user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin
user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
Prerequisites
- You have access to the installation host.
- You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available.
Procedure
Obtain the password for the
kubeadmin
user from thekubeadmin-password
file on the installation host:$ cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password
NoteAlternatively, you can obtain the
kubeadmin
password from the<installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log
log file on the installation host.List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route:
$ oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift'
NoteAlternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the
<installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log
log file on the installation host.Example output
console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None
-
Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the
kubeadmin
user.

- See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
13.25. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.15, the Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, requires internet access. If your cluster is connected to the internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to OpenShift Cluster Manager.
After you confirm that your OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually by using OpenShift Cluster Manager, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.
Additional resources
- See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service
