Chapter 1. Installing on OpenStack
1.1. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with customizations
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.4, you can install a customized cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). To customize the installation, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml
before you install the cluster.
1.1.1. Prerequisites
Review details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
- Verify that OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 is compatible with your RHOSP version in the Available platforms section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix.
- Verify that your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported.
- Have a storage service installed in RHOSP, like block storage (Cinder) or object storage (Swift). Object storage is the recommended storage technology for OpenShift Container Platform registry cluster deployment. For more information, see Optimizing storage.
- Have metadata service enabled in RHOSP
1.1.2. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP
To support an OpenShift Container Platform installation, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) quota must meet the following requirements:
Resource | Value |
---|---|
Floating IP addresses | 3 |
Ports | 15 |
Routers | 1 |
Subnets | 1 |
RAM | 112 GB |
vCPUs | 28 |
Volume storage | 275 GB |
Instances | 7 |
Security groups | 3 |
Security group rules | 60 |
A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed.
If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry.
By default, your security group and security group rule quotas might be low. If you encounter problems, run openstack quota set --secgroups 3 --secgroup-rules 60 <project>
as an administrator to increase them.
An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine.
1.1.2.1. Control plane and compute machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process stands up three control plane and three compute machines.
Each machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can.
1.1.2.2. Bootstrap machine
During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned.
The bootstrap machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
1.1.3. Internet and Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.4, you require access to the Internet to install your cluster. The Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, also requires Internet access. If your cluster is connected to the Internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (OCM).
Once you confirm that your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually using OCM, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.
You must have Internet access to:
- Access the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager page 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.
If your cluster cannot have direct Internet access, you can perform a restricted network installation on some types of infrastructure that you provision. During that process, you download the content that is required and use it to populate a mirror registry with the packages that you need to install a cluster and generate the installation program. With some installation types, the environment that you install your cluster in will not require Internet access. Before you update the cluster, you update the content of the mirror registry.
1.1.4. Enabling Swift on RHOSP
Swift is operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role. Add the role to an account before you run the installation program.
If the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) object storage service, commonly known as Swift, is available, OpenShift Container Platform uses it as the image registry storage. If it is unavailable, the installation program relies on the RHOSP block storage service, commonly known as Cinder.
If Swift is present and you want to use it, you must enable access to it. If it is not present, or if you do not want to use it, skip this section.
Prerequisites
- You have a RHOSP administrator account on the target environment.
- The Swift service is installed.
-
On Ceph RGW, the
account in url
option is enabled.
Procedure
To enable Swift on RHOSP:
As an administrator in the RHOSP CLI, add the
swiftoperator
role to the account that will access Swift:$ openstack role add --user <user> --project <project> swiftoperator
Your RHOSP deployment can now use Swift for the image registry.
1.1.5. Verifying external network access
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
Procedure
Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network:
$ openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+
A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network.
If the external network’s CIDR range overlaps one of the default network ranges, you must change the matching network ranges in the install-config.yaml
file before you start the installation process.
The default network ranges are:
Network | Range |
---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/16 |
| 172.30.0.0/16 |
| 10.128.0.0/14 |
If the installation program finds multiple networks with the same name, it sets one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP.
If the Neutron trunk service plug-in is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port.
1.1.6. Defining parameters for the installation program
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml
. The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs.
Procedure
Create the
clouds.yaml
file:If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a
clouds.yaml
file in it.ImportantRemember to add a password to the
auth
field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file fromclouds.yaml
.If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about
clouds.yaml
, see Config files in the RHOSP documentation.clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: shiftstack_user password: XXX user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: 'devuser' password: XXX project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0'
If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication:
- Copy the certificate authority file to your machine.
In the command line, run the following commands to add the machine to the certificate authority trust bundle:
$ sudo cp ca.crt.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ $ sudo update-ca-trust extract
Add the
cacerts
key to theclouds.yaml
file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate:clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem"
TipAfter you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the
ca-cert.pem
key in thecloud-provider-config
keymap. On a command line, run:$ oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config
Place the
clouds.yaml
file in one of the following locations:-
The value of the
OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE
environment variable - The current directory
-
A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example
/etc/openstack/clouds.yaml
The installation program searches for
clouds.yaml
in that order.
-
The value of the
1.1.7. Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer.
Prerequisites
- You must install the cluster from a computer that uses Linux or macOS.
- You need 500 MB of local disk space to download the installation program.
Procedure
- Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files.
ImportantThe installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep both the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster.
ImportantDeleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. You must complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures outlined for your specific cloud provider to remove your cluster entirely.
Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ tar xvf <installation_program>.tar.gz
-
From the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site, download your installation pull secret as a
.txt
file. This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components.
1.1.8. Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Create the
install-config.yaml
file.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 openstack as the platform to target.
- Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster.
- Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API.
- Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane and compute nodes.
- Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name.
- Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long.
- Paste the pull secret that you obtained from the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site.
-
Modify the
install-config.yaml
file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the
install-config.yaml
file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters.ImportantThe
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
1.1.9. Installation configuration parameters
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster’s platform. When you create the install-config.yaml
installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml
file to provide more details about the platform.
You cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml
file after installation.

1.1.9.1. Sample customized install-config.yaml
file for RHOSP
This sample install-config.yaml
demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options.
This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml
file by using the installation program.

1.1.10. Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
If you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery on your cluster, you must provide an SSH key to both your ssh-agent
and the installation program. You can use this key to access the bootstrap machine in a public cluster to troubleshoot installation issues.
In a production environment, you require disaster recovery and debugging.
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user core
. When you deploy the cluster, the key is added to the core
user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list.
Procedure
If you do not have an SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication on your computer, 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_rsa
, of the SSH key. Do not specify an existing SSH key, as it will be overwritten.
Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in the location that you specified.
Start the
ssh-agent
process as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" Agent pid 31874
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1 Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
- 1
- Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Next steps
- When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
1.1.11. Enabling access to the environment
At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments.
You can configure the OpenShift Container Platform API and applications that run on the cluster to be accessible with or without floating IP addresses.
1.1.11.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses
Create two floating IP (FIP) addresses: one for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, the API FIP
, and one for OpenShift Container Platform applications, the apps FIP
.
The API FIP is also used in the install-config.yaml
file.
Procedure
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
To reflect the new FIPs, add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server:
api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP>
NoteIf you do not control the DNS server you can add the record to your
/etc/hosts
file instead. This action makes the API accessible to you only, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing.
You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration.
1.1.11.2. Enabling access without floating IP addresses
If you cannot use floating IP addresses, the OpenShift Container Platform installation might still finish. However, the installation program fails after it times out waiting for API access.
After the installation program times out, the cluster might still initialize. After the bootstrapping processing begins, it must complete. You must edit the cluster’s networking configuration after it is deployed.
1.1.12. Deploying the cluster
You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform.
You can run the create cluster
command of the installation program only once, during initial installation.
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Run the installation program:
$ ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=<installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2
NoteIf the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed.
When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the
kubeadmin
user, display in your terminal.ImportantThe 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.ImportantYou must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster.
1.1.13. Verifying cluster status
You can verify your OpenShift Container Platform cluster’s status during or after installation.
Procedure
In the cluster environment, export the administrator’s kubeconfig file:
$ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
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.View the control plane and compute machines created after a deployment:
$ oc get nodes
View your cluster’s version:
$ oc get clusterversion
View your Operators' status:
$ oc get clusteroperator
View all running pods in the cluster:
$ oc get pods -A
1.1.14. Logging in to the cluster
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
- Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
Install 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 system:admin
1.1.15. Configuring application access with floating IP addresses
After you install OpenShift Container Platform, configure Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) to allow application network traffic.
Prerequisites
- OpenShift Container Platform cluster must be installed
- Floating IP addresses are enabled as described in Enabling access to the environment.
Procedure
After you install the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, attach a floating IP address to the ingress port:
Show the port:
$ openstack port show <cluster name>-<clusterID>-ingress-port
Attach the port to the IP address:
$ openstack floating ip set --port <ingress port ID> <apps FIP>
Add a wildcard
A
record for*apps.
to your DNS file:*.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> IN A <apps FIP>
If you do not control the DNS server but want to enable application access for non-production purposes, you can add these hostnames to /etc/hosts
:
<apps FIP> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> <app name>.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain>
1.1.16. Next steps
- Customize your cluster.
- If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
- If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.
1.2. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.4, you can install a customized cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that uses Kuryr SDN. To customize the installation, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml
before you install the cluster.
1.2.1. Prerequisites
Review details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
- Verify that OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 is compatible with your RHOSP version in the Available platforms section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix.
- Verify that your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported.
- Have a storage service installed in RHOSP, like block storage (Cinder) or object storage (Swift). Object storage is the recommended storage technology for OpenShift Container Platform registry cluster deployment. For more information, see Optimizing storage.
1.2.2. About Kuryr SDN
Kuryr is a container network interface (CNI) plug-in solution that uses the Neutron and Octavia Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) services to provide networking for pods and Services.
Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances.
Kuryr components are installed as pods in OpenShift Container Platform using the openshift-kuryr
namespace:
-
kuryr-controller
- a single service instance installed on amaster
node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDeployment
object. -
kuryr-cni
- a container installing and configuring Kuryr as a CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDaemonSet
object.
The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift Container Platform API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OpenShift Container Platform API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OpenShift Container Platform via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN) as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs.
Kuryr is recommended for OpenShift Container Platform deployments on encapsulated RHOSP tenant networks to avoid double encapsulation, such as running an encapsulated OpenShift Container Platform SDN over an RHOSP network.
If you use provider networks or tenant VLANs, you do not need to use Kuryr to avoid double encapsulation. The performance benefit is negligible. Depending on your configuration, though, using Kuryr to avoid having two overlays might still be beneficial.
Kuryr is not recommended in deployments where all of the following criteria are true:
- The RHOSP version is less than 16.
- The deployment uses UDP services, or a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
or
-
The
ovn-octavia
Octavia driver is disabled. - The deployment uses a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
1.2.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP with Kuryr
When using Kuryr SDN, the pods, services, namespaces, and network policies are using resources from the RHOSP quota; this increases the minimum requirements. Kuryr also has some additional requirements on top of what a default install requires.
Use the following quota to satisfy a default cluster’s minimum requirements:
Resource | Value |
---|---|
Floating IP addresses | 3 - plus the expected number of Services of LoadBalancer type |
Ports | 1500 - 1 needed per Pod |
Routers | 1 |
Subnets | 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
Networks | 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
RAM | 112 GB |
vCPUs | 28 |
Volume storage | 275 GB |
Instances | 7 |
Security groups | 250 - 1 needed per Service and per NetworkPolicy |
Security group rules | 1000 |
Load balancers | 100 - 1 needed per Service |
Load balancer listeners | 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
Load balancer pools | 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed.
If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry.
If you are using Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) version 16 with the Amphora driver rather than the OVN Octavia driver, security groups are associated with service accounts instead of user projects.
Take the following notes into consideration when setting resources:
- The number of ports that are required is larger than the number of pods. Kuryr uses ports pools to have pre-created ports ready to be used by pods and speed up the pods' booting time.
-
Each network policy is mapped into an RHOSP security group, and depending on the
NetworkPolicy
spec, one or more rules are added to the security group. Each service is mapped to an RHOSP load balancer. Consider this requirement when estimating the number of security groups required for the quota.
If you are using RHOSP version 15 or earlier, or the
ovn-octavia driver
, each load balancer has a security group with the user project.The quota does not account for load balancer resources (such as VM resources), but you must consider these resources when you decide the RHOSP deployment’s size. The default installation will have more than 50 load balancers; the clusters must be able to accommodate them.
If you are using RHOSP version 16 with the OVN Octavia driver enabled, only one load balancer VM is generated; services are load balanced through OVN flows.
An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine.
To enable Kuryr SDN, your environment must meet the following requirements:
- Run RHOSP 13+.
- Have Overcloud with Octavia.
- Use Neutron Trunk ports extension.
-
Use
openvswitch
firewall driver if ML2/OVS Neutron driver is used instead ofovs-hybrid
.
1.2.3.1. Increasing quota
When using Kuryr SDN, you must increase quotas to satisfy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) resources used by pods, services, namespaces, and network policies.
Procedure
Increase the quotas for a project by running the following command:
$ sudo openstack quota set --secgroups 250 --secgroup-rules 1000 --ports 1500 --subnets 250 --networks 250 <project>
1.2.3.2. Configuring Neutron
Kuryr CNI leverages the Neutron Trunks extension to plug containers into the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SDN, so you must use the trunks
extension for Kuryr to properly work.
In addition, if you leverage the default ML2/OVS Neutron driver, the firewall must be set to openvswitch
instead of ovs_hybrid
so that security groups are enforced on trunk subports and Kuryr can properly handle network policies.
1.2.3.3. Configuring Octavia
Kuryr SDN uses Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)'s Octavia LBaaS to implement OpenShift Container Platform services. Thus, you must install and configure Octavia components in RHOSP to use Kuryr SDN.
To enable Octavia, you must include the Octavia service during the installation of the RHOSP Overcloud, or upgrade the Octavia service if the Overcloud already exists. The following steps for enabling Octavia apply to both a clean install of the Overcloud or an Overcloud update.
The following steps only capture the key pieces required during the deployment of RHOSP when dealing with Octavia. It is also important to note that registry methods vary.
This example uses the local registry method.
Procedure
If you are using the local registry, create a template to upload the images to the registry. For example:
(undercloud) $ openstack overcloud container image prepare \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ --namespace=registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13 \ --push-destination=<local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 \ --prefix=openstack- \ --tag-from-label {version}-{release} \ --output-env-file=/home/stack/templates/overcloud_images.yaml \ --output-images-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml
Verify that the
local_registry_images.yaml
file contains the Octavia images. For example:... - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-api:13.0-43 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-health-manager:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-housekeeping:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-worker:13.0-44 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787
NoteThe Octavia container versions vary depending upon the specific RHOSP release installed.
Pull the container images from
registry.redhat.io
to the Undercloud node:(undercloud) $ sudo openstack overcloud container image upload \ --config-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml \ --verbose
This may take some time depending on the speed of your network and Undercloud disk.
Since an Octavia load balancer is used to access the OpenShift Container Platform API, you must increase their listeners' default timeouts for the connections. The default timeout is 50 seconds. Increase the timeout to 20 minutes by passing the following file to the Overcloud deploy command:
(undercloud) $ cat octavia_timeouts.yaml parameter_defaults: OctaviaTimeoutClientData: 1200000 OctaviaTimeoutMemberData: 1200000
NoteThis is not needed for RHOSP 14+.
Install or update your Overcloud environment with Octavia:
openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ -e octavia_timeouts.yaml
NoteThis command only includes the files associated with Octavia; it varies based on your specific installation of RHOSP. See the RHOSP documentation for further information. For more information on customizing your Octavia installation, see installation of Octavia using Director.
NoteWhen leveraging Kuryr SDN, the Overcloud installation requires the Neutron
trunk
extension. This is available by default on director deployments. Use theopenvswitch
firewall instead of the defaultovs-hybrid
when the Neutron backend is ML2/OVS. There is no need for modifications if the backend is ML2/OVN.In RHOSP versions 13 and 15, add the project ID to the
octavia.conf
configuration file after you create the project.To enforce network policies across services, like when traffic goes through the Octavia load balancer, you must ensure Octavia creates the Amphora VM security groups on the user project.
This change ensures that required load balancer security groups belong to that project, and that they can be updated to enforce services isolation.
NoteThis task is unnecessary in RHOSP version 16 or later.
Octavia implements a new ACL API that restricts access to the load balancers VIP.

Restart the Octavia worker so the new configuration loads.
controller-0$ sudo docker restart octavia_worker
Depending on your RHOSP environment, Octavia might not support UDP listeners. If you use Kuryr SDN on RHOSP version 15 or earlier, UDP services are not supported. RHOSP version 16 or later support UDP.
1.2.3.3.1. The Octavia OVN Driver
Octavia supports multiple provider drivers through the Octavia API.
To see all available Octavia provider drivers, on a command line, enter:
$ openstack loadbalancer provider list
The result is a list of drivers:
+---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | name | description | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | amphora | The Octavia Amphora driver. | | octavia | Deprecated alias of the Octavia Amphora driver. | | ovn | Octavia OVN driver. | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+
Beginning with RHOSP version 16, the Octavia OVN provider driver (ovn
) is supported on OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP deployments.
ovn
is an integration driver for the load balancing that Octavia and OVN provide. It supports basic load balancing capabilities, and is based on OpenFlow rules. The driver is automatically enabled in Octavia by Director on deployments that use OVN Neutron ML2.
The Amphora provider driver is the default driver. If ovn
is enabled, however, Kuryr uses it.
If Kuryr uses ovn
instead of Amphora, it offers the following benefits:
- Decreased resource requirements. Kuryr does not require a load balancer VM for each service.
- Reduced network latency.
- Increased service creation speed by using OpenFlow rules instead of a VM for each service.
- Distributed load balancing actions across all nodes instead of centralized on Amphora VMs.
1.2.3.4. Known limitations of installing with Kuryr
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several known limitations.
RHOSP general limitations
OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN does not support Service
objects with type NodePort
.
RHOSP version limitations
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that depend on the RHOSP version.
RHOSP versions before 16 use the default Octavia load balancer driver (Amphora). This driver requires that one Amphora load balancer VM is deployed per OpenShift Container Platform service. Creating too many services can cause you to run out of resources.
Deployments of later versions of RHOSP that have the OVN Octavia driver disabled also use the Amphora driver. They are subject to the same resource concerns as earlier versions of RHOSP.
- Octavia RHOSP versions before 16 do not support UDP listeners. Therefore, OpenShift Container Platform UDP services are not supported.
- Octavia RHOSP versions before 16 cannot listen to multiple protocols on the same port. Services that expose the same port to different protocols, like TCP and UDP, are not supported.
The OVN Octavia driver does not support listeners that use different protocols on any RHOSP version.
RHOSP environment limitations
There are limitations when using Kuryr SDN that depend on your deployment environment.
Because of Octavia’s lack of support for the UDP protocol and multiple listeners, Kuryr forces pods to use TCP for DNS resolution if:
- The RHOSP version is earlier than 16
- The OVN Octavia driver is used
In Go versions 1.12 and earlier, applications that are compiled with CGO support disabled use UDP only. In this case, the native Go resolver does not recognize the use-vc
option in resolv.conf
, which controls whether TCP is forced for DNS resolution. As a result, UDP is still used for DNS resolution, which fails.
To ensure that TCP forcing is allowed, compile applications either with the environment variable CGO_ENABLED
set to 1
, i.e. CGO_ENABLED=1
, or ensure that the variable is absent.
In Go versions 1.13 and later, TCP is used automatically if DNS resolution using UDP fails.
musl-based containers, including Alpine-based containers, do not support the use-vc
option.
1.2.3.5. Control plane and compute machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process stands up three control plane and three compute machines.
Each machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can.
1.2.3.6. Bootstrap machine
During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned.
The bootstrap machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
1.2.4. Internet and Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.4, you require access to the Internet to install your cluster. The Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, also requires Internet access. If your cluster is connected to the Internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (OCM).
Once you confirm that your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually using OCM, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.
You must have Internet access to:
- Access the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager page 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.
If your cluster cannot have direct Internet access, you can perform a restricted network installation on some types of infrastructure that you provision. During that process, you download the content that is required and use it to populate a mirror registry with the packages that you need to install a cluster and generate the installation program. With some installation types, the environment that you install your cluster in will not require Internet access. Before you update the cluster, you update the content of the mirror registry.
1.2.5. Enabling Swift on RHOSP
Swift is operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role. Add the role to an account before you run the installation program.
If the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) object storage service, commonly known as Swift, is available, OpenShift Container Platform uses it as the image registry storage. If it is unavailable, the installation program relies on the RHOSP block storage service, commonly known as Cinder.
If Swift is present and you want to use it, you must enable access to it. If it is not present, or if you do not want to use it, skip this section.
Prerequisites
- You have a RHOSP administrator account on the target environment.
- The Swift service is installed.
-
On Ceph RGW, the
account in url
option is enabled.
Procedure
To enable Swift on RHOSP:
As an administrator in the RHOSP CLI, add the
swiftoperator
role to the account that will access Swift:$ openstack role add --user <user> --project <project> swiftoperator
Your RHOSP deployment can now use Swift for the image registry.
1.2.6. Verifying external network access
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
Procedure
Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network:
$ openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+
A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network.
If the external network’s CIDR range overlaps one of the default network ranges, you must change the matching network ranges in the install-config.yaml
file before you start the installation process.
The default network ranges are:
Network | Range |
---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/16 |
| 172.30.0.0/16 |
| 10.128.0.0/14 |
If the installation program finds multiple networks with the same name, it sets one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP.
If the Neutron trunk service plug-in is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port.
1.2.7. Defining parameters for the installation program
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml
. The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs.
Procedure
Create the
clouds.yaml
file:If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a
clouds.yaml
file in it.ImportantRemember to add a password to the
auth
field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file fromclouds.yaml
.If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about
clouds.yaml
, see Config files in the RHOSP documentation.clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: shiftstack_user password: XXX user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: 'devuser' password: XXX project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0'
If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication:
- Copy the certificate authority file to your machine.
In the command line, run the following commands to add the machine to the certificate authority trust bundle:
$ sudo cp ca.crt.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ $ sudo update-ca-trust extract
Add the
cacerts
key to theclouds.yaml
file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate:clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem"
TipAfter you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the
ca-cert.pem
key in thecloud-provider-config
keymap. On a command line, run:$ oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config
Place the
clouds.yaml
file in one of the following locations:-
The value of the
OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE
environment variable - The current directory
-
A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example
/etc/openstack/clouds.yaml
The installation program searches for
clouds.yaml
in that order.
-
The value of the
1.2.8. Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer.
Prerequisites
- You must install the cluster from a computer that uses Linux or macOS.
- You need 500 MB of local disk space to download the installation program.
Procedure
- Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files.
ImportantThe installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep both the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster.
ImportantDeleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. You must complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures outlined for your specific cloud provider to remove your cluster entirely.
Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ tar xvf <installation_program>.tar.gz
-
From the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site, download your installation pull secret as a
.txt
file. This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components.
1.2.9. Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Create the
install-config.yaml
file.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 openstack as the platform to target.
- Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster.
- Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API.
- Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane and compute nodes.
- Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name.
- Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long.
- Paste the pull secret that you obtained from the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site.
-
Modify the
install-config.yaml
file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the
install-config.yaml
file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters.ImportantThe
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
1.2.10. Installation configuration parameters
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster’s platform. When you create the install-config.yaml
installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml
file to provide more details about the platform.
You cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml
file after installation.

1.2.10.1. Sample customized install-config.yaml
file for RHOSP with Kuryr
To deploy with Kuryr SDN instead of the default OpenShift SDN, you must modify the install-config.yaml
file to include Kuryr
as the desired networking.networkType
and proceed with the default OpenShift Container Platform SDN installation steps. This sample install-config.yaml
demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options.
This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml
file by using the installation program.
apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com clusterID: os-test controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: Kuryr platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge lbFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 trunkSupport: true octaviaSupport: true pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA...
Both trunkSupport
and octaviaSupport
are automatically discovered by the installer, so there is no need to set them. But if your environment does not meet both requirements, Kuryr SDN will not properly work. Trunks are needed to connect the pods to the RHOSP network and Octavia is required to create the OpenShift Container Platform services.
1.2.11. Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
If you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery on your cluster, you must provide an SSH key to both your ssh-agent
and the installation program. You can use this key to access the bootstrap machine in a public cluster to troubleshoot installation issues.
In a production environment, you require disaster recovery and debugging.
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user core
. When you deploy the cluster, the key is added to the core
user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list.
Procedure
If you do not have an SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication on your computer, 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_rsa
, of the SSH key. Do not specify an existing SSH key, as it will be overwritten.
Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in the location that you specified.
Start the
ssh-agent
process as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" Agent pid 31874
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1 Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
- 1
- Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Next steps
- When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
1.2.12. Enabling access to the environment
At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments.
You can configure the OpenShift Container Platform API and applications that run on the cluster to be accessible with or without floating IP addresses.
1.2.12.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses
Create two floating IP (FIP) addresses: one for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, the API FIP
, and one for OpenShift Container Platform applications, the apps FIP
.
The API FIP is also used in the install-config.yaml
file.
Procedure
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
To reflect the new FIPs, add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server:
api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP>
NoteIf you do not control the DNS server you can add the record to your
/etc/hosts
file instead. This action makes the API accessible to you only, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing.
You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration.
1.2.12.2. Enabling access without floating IP addresses
If you cannot use floating IP addresses, the OpenShift Container Platform installation might still finish. However, the installation program fails after it times out waiting for API access.
After the installation program times out, the cluster might still initialize. After the bootstrapping processing begins, it must complete. You must edit the cluster’s networking configuration after it is deployed.
1.2.13. Deploying the cluster
You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform.
You can run the create cluster
command of the installation program only once, during initial installation.
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Run the installation program:
$ ./openshift-install create cluster --dir=<installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2
NoteIf the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed.
When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the
kubeadmin
user, display in your terminal.ImportantThe 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.ImportantYou must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster.
1.2.14. Verifying cluster status
You can verify your OpenShift Container Platform cluster’s status during or after installation.
Procedure
In the cluster environment, export the administrator’s kubeconfig file:
$ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
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.View the control plane and compute machines created after a deployment:
$ oc get nodes
View your cluster’s version:
$ oc get clusterversion
View your Operators' status:
$ oc get clusteroperator
View all running pods in the cluster:
$ oc get pods -A
1.2.15. Logging in to the cluster
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
- Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
Install 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 system:admin
1.2.16. Configuring application access with floating IP addresses
After you install OpenShift Container Platform, configure Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) to allow application network traffic.
Prerequisites
- OpenShift Container Platform cluster must be installed
- Floating IP addresses are enabled as described in Enabling access to the environment.
Procedure
After you install the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, attach a floating IP address to the ingress port:
Show the port:
$ openstack port show <cluster name>-<clusterID>-ingress-port
Attach the port to the IP address:
$ openstack floating ip set --port <ingress port ID> <apps FIP>
Add a wildcard
A
record for*apps.
to your DNS file:*.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> IN A <apps FIP>
If you do not control the DNS server but want to enable application access for non-production purposes, you can add these hostnames to /etc/hosts
:
<apps FIP> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> <app name>.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain>
1.2.17. Next steps
- Customize your cluster.
- If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
- If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.
1.3. Installing a cluster on OpenStack on your own infrastructure
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.4, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that runs on user-provisioned infrastructure.
Using your own infrastructure allows you to integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. The process requires more labor on your part than installer-provisioned installations, because you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. However, Red Hat provides Ansible playbooks to help you in the deployment process.
1.3.1. Prerequisites
Review details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
- Verify that OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 is compatible with your RHOSP version in the Available platforms section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix.
- Verify that your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported.
- Have an RHOSP account where you want to install OpenShift Container Platform.
On the machine from which you run the installation program, have:
- A single directory in which you can keep the files you create during the installation process
- Python 3
1.3.2. Internet and Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.4, you require access to the Internet to install your cluster. The Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, also requires Internet access. If your cluster is connected to the Internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (OCM).
Once you confirm that your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually using OCM, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.
You must have Internet access to:
- Access the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager page 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.
If your cluster cannot have direct Internet access, you can perform a restricted network installation on some types of infrastructure that you provision. During that process, you download the content that is required and use it to populate a mirror registry with the packages that you need to install a cluster and generate the installation program. With some installation types, the environment that you install your cluster in will not require Internet access. Before you update the cluster, you update the content of the mirror registry.
1.3.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP
To support an OpenShift Container Platform installation, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) quota must meet the following requirements:
Resource | Value |
---|---|
Floating IP addresses | 3 |
Ports | 15 |
Routers | 1 |
Subnets | 1 |
RAM | 112 GB |
vCPUs | 28 |
Volume storage | 275 GB |
Instances | 7 |
Security groups | 3 |
Security group rules | 60 |
A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed.
If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry.
By default, your security group and security group rule quotas might be low. If you encounter problems, run openstack quota set --secgroups 3 --secgroup-rules 60 <project>
as an administrator to increase them.
An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine.
1.3.3.1. Control plane and compute machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process stands up three control plane and three compute machines.
Each machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can.
1.3.3.2. Bootstrap machine
During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned.
The bootstrap machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
1.3.4. Downloading playbook dependencies
The Ansible playbooks that simplify the installation process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the installer, add the modules' repositories and then download them.
These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.
Prerequisites
- Python 3 is installed on your machine
Procedure
On a command line, add the repositories:
$ sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=$YOUR_POOLID # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
Install the modules:
$ sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk python3-netaddr
Ensure that the
python
command points topython3
:$ sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
1.3.5. Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer.
Prerequisites
- You must install the cluster from a computer that uses Linux or macOS.
- You need 500 MB of local disk space to download the installation program.
Procedure
- Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files.
ImportantThe installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep both the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster.
ImportantDeleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. You must complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures outlined for your specific cloud provider to remove your cluster entirely.
Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ tar xvf <installation_program>.tar.gz
-
From the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site, download your installation pull secret as a
.txt
file. This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components.
1.3.6. Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
If you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery on your cluster, you must provide an SSH key to both your ssh-agent
and the installation program. You can use this key to access the bootstrap machine in a public cluster to troubleshoot installation issues.
In a production environment, you require disaster recovery and debugging.
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user core
. When you deploy the cluster, the key is added to the core
user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list.
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 SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication on your computer, 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_rsa
, of the SSH key. Do not specify an existing SSH key, as it will be overwritten.
Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in the location that you specified.
Start the
ssh-agent
process as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" Agent pid 31874
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1 Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
- 1
- Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Next steps
- When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
1.3.7. Creating the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program requires that a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image be present in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) cluster. Retrieve the latest RHCOS image, then upload it using the RHOSP CLI.
Prerequisites
- The RHOSP CLI is installed.
Procedure
- Log in to the Red Hat customer portal’s Product Downloads page.
Under Version, select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.
ImportantThe RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available.
- Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS - OpenStack Image (QCOW).
Decompress the image.
NoteYou must decompress the RHOSP image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like
.gz
or.tgz
. To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter:$ file <name_of_downloaded_file>
From the image that you downloaded, create an image that is named
rhcos
in your cluster by using the RHOSP CLI:$ openstack image create --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2 --file rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-openstack.qcow2 rhcos
ImportantDepending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either
.raw
or.qcow2
formats. If you use Ceph, you must use the.raw
format.WarningIf the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP.
After you upload the image to RHOSP, it is usable in the installation process.
1.3.8. Verifying external network access
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
Procedure
Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network:
$ openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+
A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network.
If the Neutron trunk service plug-in is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port.
1.3.9. Enabling access to the environment
At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments.
You can configure the OpenShift Container Platform API and applications that run on the cluster to be accessible by using floating IP addresses.
1.3.9.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses
Create two floating IP (FIP) addresses: one for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, the API FIP
, and one for OpenShift Container Platform applications, the apps FIP
.
The API FIP is also used in the install-config.yaml
file.
Procedure
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
To reflect the new FIPs, add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server:
api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP>
NoteIf you do not control the DNS server you can add the record to your
/etc/hosts
file instead. This action makes the API accessible to you only, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing.
You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration.
1.3.10. Defining parameters for the installation program
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml
. The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs.
Procedure
Create the
clouds.yaml
file:If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a
clouds.yaml
file in it.ImportantRemember to add a password to the
auth
field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file fromclouds.yaml
.If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about
clouds.yaml
, see Config files in the RHOSP documentation.clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: shiftstack_user password: XXX user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: 'devuser' password: XXX project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0'
If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication:
- Copy the certificate authority file to your machine.
In the command line, run the following commands to add the machine to the certificate authority trust bundle:
$ sudo cp ca.crt.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ $ sudo update-ca-trust extract
Add the
cacerts
key to theclouds.yaml
file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate:clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem"
TipAfter you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the
ca-cert.pem
key in thecloud-provider-config
keymap. On a command line, run:$ oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config
Place the
clouds.yaml
file in one of the following locations:-
The value of the
OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE
environment variable - The current directory
-
A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example
/etc/openstack/clouds.yaml
The installation program searches for
clouds.yaml
in that order.
-
The value of the
1.3.11. Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Create the
install-config.yaml
file.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 openstack as the platform to target.
- Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster.
- Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API.
- Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane and compute nodes.
- Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name.
- Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long.
- Paste the pull secret that you obtained from the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site.
-
Modify the
install-config.yaml
file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the
install-config.yaml
file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters.ImportantThe
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
You now have the file install-config.yaml
in the directory that you specified.
1.3.12. Installation configuration parameters
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster’s platform. When you create the install-config.yaml
installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml
file to provide more details about the platform.
You cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml
file after installation.

1.3.12.1. Sample customized install-config.yaml
file for RHOSP
This sample install-config.yaml
demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options.
This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml
file by using the installation program.
apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com clusterID: os-test controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge lbFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 fips: false pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA...
1.3.12.2. Setting a custom subnet for machines
The IP range that the installation program uses by default might not match the Neutron subnet that you create when you install OpenShift Container Platform. If necessary, update the CIDR value for new machines by editing the installation configuration file.
Prerequisites
-
You have the
install-config.yaml
file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml
. From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yaml
file or update the file manually:To set the value by using a script, run:
python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["machineNetwork"] = [{"cidr": "192.168.0.0/18"}]; 1 open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'
- 1
- Insert a value that matches your intended Neutron subnet, e.g.
192.0.2.0/24
.
-
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
networking.machineCIDR
to something that matches your intended Neutron subnet.
1.3.12.3. Emptying compute machine pools
To proceed with an installation that uses your own infrastructure, set the number of compute machines in the installation configuration file to zero. Later, you create these machines manually.
Prerequisites
-
You have the
install-config.yaml
file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml
. From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yaml
file or update the file manually:To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["compute"][0]["replicas"] = 0; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'
-
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
compute.<first entry>.replicas
to0
.
1.3.13. 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 make its machines.
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.
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
-
Create the
install-config.yaml
installation configuration file.
Procedure
Generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir=<installation_directory> 1 INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory WARNING Making control-plane schedulable by setting MastersSchedulable to true for Scheduler cluster settings
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the installation directory that contains theinstall-config.yaml
file you created.
Because you create your own compute machines later in the installation process, you can safely ignore this warning.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines and compute machine sets:
$ rm -f openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml
Because you create and manage these resources yourself, you do not have to initialize them.
- You can preserve the machine set files to create compute machines by using the machine API, but you must update references to them to match your environment.
Modify the
<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
Kubernetes manifest file to prevent pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines:-
Open the

. - Save and exit the file.
NoteCurrently, due to a Kubernetes limitation, router Pods running on control plane machines will not be reachable by the ingress load balancer. This step might not be required in a future minor version of OpenShift Container Platform.
-
Open the
Obtain the Ignition config files:
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir=<installation_directory> 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the same installation directory.
The following files are generated in the directory:
. ├── auth │ ├── kubeadmin-password │ └── kubeconfig ├── bootstrap.ign ├── master.ign ├── metadata.json └── worker.ign
Export the metadata file’s
infraID
key as an environment variable:$ export INFRA_ID=$(jq -r .infraID metadata.json)
Extract the infraID
key from metadata.json
and use it as a prefix for all of the RHOSP resources that you create. By doing so, you avoid name conflicts when making multiple deployments in the same project.
1.3.14. Preparing the bootstrap Ignition files
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process relies on bootstrap machines that are created from a bootstrap Ignition configuration file.
Edit the file and upload it. Then, create a secondary bootstrap Ignition configuration file that Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses to download the primary file.
Prerequisites
-
You have the bootstrap Ignition file that the installer program generates,
bootstrap.ign
. The infrastructure ID from the installer’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
).- If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files.
You have an HTTP(S)-accessible way to store the bootstrap Ignition file.
- The documented procedure uses the RHOSP image service (Glance), but you can also use the RHOSP storage service (Swift), Amazon S3, an internal HTTP server, or an ad hoc Nova server.
Procedure
Run the following Python script. The script modifies the bootstrap Ignition file to set the host name and, if available, CA certificate file when it runs:
import base64 import json import os with open('bootstrap.ign', 'r') as f: ignition = json.load(f) files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []) infra_id = os.environ.get('INFRA_ID', 'openshift').encode() hostname_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(infra_id + b'-bootstrap\n').decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + hostname_b64, 'verification': {} }, 'filesystem': 'root', }) ca_cert_path = os.environ.get('OS_CACERT', '') if ca_cert_path: with open(ca_cert_path, 'r') as f: ca_cert = f.read().encode() ca_cert_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(ca_cert).decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/opt/openshift/tls/cloud-ca-cert.pem', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + ca_cert_b64, 'verification': {} }, 'filesystem': 'root', }) ignition['storage']['files'] = files; with open('bootstrap.ign', 'w') as f: json.dump(ignition, f)
Using the RHOSP CLI, create an image that uses the bootstrap Ignition file:
$ openstack image create --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --file bootstrap.ign <image_name>
Get the image’s details:
$ openstack image show <image_name>
Make a note of the
file
value; it follows the patternv2/images/<image_ID>/file
.NoteVerify that the image you created is active.
Retrieve the image service’s public address:
$ openstack catalog show image
-
Combine the public address with the image
file
value and save the result as the storage location. The location follows the pattern<image_service_public_URL>/v2/images/<image_ID>/file
. Generate an auth token and save the token ID:
$ openstack token issue -c id -f value
Insert the following content into a file called
$INFRA_ID-bootstrap-ignition.json
and edit the placeholders to match your own values:{ "ignition": { "config": { "append": [{ "source": "<storage_url>", 1 "verification": {}, "httpHeaders": [{ "name": "X-Auth-Token", 2 "value": "<token_ID>" 3 }] }] }, "security": { "tls": { "certificateAuthorities": [{ "source": "data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,<base64_encoded_certificate>", 4 "verification": {} }] } }, "timeouts": {}, "version": "2.4.0" }, "networkd": {}, "passwd": {}, "storage": {}, "systemd": {} }
- 1
- Replace the value of
ignition.config.append.source
with the bootstrap Ignition file storage URL. - 2
- Set
name
inhttpHeaders
to"X-Auth-Token"
. - 3
- Set
value
inhttpHeaders
to your token’s ID. - 4
- If the bootstrap Ignition file server uses a self-signed certificate, include the base64-encoded certificate.
- Save the secondary Ignition config file.
The bootstrap Ignition data will be passed to RHOSP during installation.
The bootstrap Ignition file contains sensitive information, like clouds.yaml
credentials. Ensure that you store it in a secure place, and delete it after you complete the installation process.
1.3.15. Creating control plane Ignition config files
Installing OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on your own infrastructure requires control plane Ignition config files. You must create multiple config files.
As with the bootstrap Ignition configuration, you must explicitly define a host name for each control plane machine.
Prerequisites
The infrastructure ID from the installation program’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
)- If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files.
Procedure
On a command line, run the following Python script:
$ for index in $(seq 0 2); do MASTER_HOSTNAME="$INFRA_ID-master-$index\n" python -c "import base64, json, sys; ignition = json.load(sys.stdin); files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []); files.append({'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': {'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64.standard_b64encode(b'$MASTER_HOSTNAME').decode().strip(), 'verification': {}}, 'filesystem': 'root'}); ignition['storage']['files'] = files; json.dump(ignition, sys.stdout)" <master.ign >"$INFRA_ID-master-$index-ignition.json" done
You now have three control plane Ignition files:
<INFRA_ID>-master-0-ignition.json
,<INFRA_ID>-master-1-ignition.json
, and<INFRA_ID>-master-2-ignition.json
.
1.3.16. Creating network resources
Create the network resources that an OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) installation on your own infrastructure requires. To save time, run supplied Ansible playbooks that generate security groups, networks, subnets, routers, and ports.
Procedure
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
common.yaml
:Example 1.1.
common.yaml
Ansible playbook- hosts: localhost gather_facts: no vars_files: - metadata.json tasks: - name: 'Compute resource names' set_fact: cluster_id_tag: "openshiftClusterID={{ infraID }}" os_network: "{{ infraID }}-network" os_subnet: "{{ infraID }}-nodes" os_router: "{{ infraID }}-external-router" # Port names os_port_api: "{{ infraID }}-api-port" os_port_ingress: "{{ infraID }}-ingress-port" os_port_bootstrap: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap-port" os_port_master: "{{ infraID }}-master-port" os_port_worker: "{{ infraID }}-worker-port" # Security groups names os_sg_master: "{{ infraID }}-master" os_sg_worker: "{{ infraID }}-worker" # Server names os_bootstrap_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap" os_cp_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-master" os_compute_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-worker" # Trunk names os_cp_trunk_name: "{{ infraID }}-master-trunk" os_compute_trunk_name: "{{ infraID }}-worker-trunk" # Subnet pool name subnet_pool: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-pod-subnetpool" # Service network name os_svc_network: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-service-network" # Service subnet name os_svc_subnet: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-service-subnet" # Ignition files os_bootstrap_ignition: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap-ignition.json"

On a command line, create security groups by running the first numbered playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 01_security-groups.yaml
On a command line, create a network, subnet, and router by running the second numbered playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 02_network.yaml
Optional: If you want to control the default resolvers that Nova servers use, run the RHOSP CLI command:
$ openstack subnet set --dns-nameserver <server_1> --dns-nameserver <server_2> "$INFRA_ID-nodes"
1.3.17. Creating the bootstrap machine
Create a bootstrap machine and give it the network access it needs to run on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process.
Prerequisites
The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
-
The
metadata.yaml
file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks
Procedure
-
On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
files. Insert the following content into a local file that is called
03_bootstrap.yaml
:Example 1.5.
03_bootstrap.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstackclient # openstacksdk # netaddr - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Create the bootstrap server port' os_port: name: "{{ os_port_bootstrap }}" network: "{{ os_network }}" security_groups: - "{{ os_sg_master }}" allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(5) }}" - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(6) }}" - name: 'Set bootstrap port tag' command: cmd: "openstack port set --tag {{ cluster_id_tag }} {{ os_port_bootstrap }}" - name: 'Create the bootstrap server' os_server: name: "{{ os_bootstrap_server_name }}" image: "{{ os_image_rhcos }}" flavor: "{{ os_flavor_master }}" userdata: "{{ lookup('file', os_bootstrap_ignition) | string }}" auto_ip: no nics: - port-name: "{{ os_port_bootstrap }}" - name: 'Create the bootstrap floating IP' os_floating_ip: state: present network: "{{ os_external_network }}" server: "{{ os_bootstrap_server_name }}"
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 03_bootstrap.yaml
After the bootstrap server is active, view the logs to verify that the Ignition files were received:
$ openstack console log show "$INFRA_ID-bootstrap"
1.3.18. Creating the control plane machines
Create three control plane machines by using the Ignition config files that you generated.
Prerequisites
-
The infrastructure ID from the installation program’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
) The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
- The three Ignition files created in Creating control plane Ignition config files
Procedure
-
On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
files. - If the control plane Ignition config files aren’t already in your working directory, copy them into it.
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
04_control-plane.yaml
:Example 1.6.
04_control-plane.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstackclient # openstacksdk # netaddr - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Create the Control Plane ports' os_port: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" network: "{{ os_network }}" security_groups: - "{{ os_sg_master }}" allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(5) }}" - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(6) }}" - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(7) }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_master] * os_cp_nodes_number }}" register: ports - name: 'Set Control Plane ports tag' command: cmd: "openstack port set --tag {{ cluster_id_tag }} {{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_master] * os_cp_nodes_number }}" - name: 'List the Control Plane Trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk list" when: os_networking_type == "Kuryr" register: control_plane_trunks - name: 'Create the Control Plane trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk create --parent-port {{ item.1.id }} {{ os_cp_trunk_name }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ ports.results }}" when: - os_networking_type == "Kuryr" - "os_cp_trunk_name|string not in control_plane_trunks.stdout" - name: 'Create the Control Plane servers' os_server: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" image: "{{ os_image_rhcos }}" flavor: "{{ os_flavor_master }}" auto_ip: no # The ignition filename will be concatenated with the Control Plane node # name and its 0-indexed serial number. # In this case, the first node will look for this filename: # "{{ infraID }}-master-0-ignition.json" userdata: "{{ lookup('file', [item.1, item.0, 'ignition.json'] | join('-')) | string }}" nics: - port-name: "{{ os_port_master }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_cp_server_name] * os_cp_nodes_number }}"
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 04_control-plane.yaml
Run the following command to monitor the bootstrapping process:
$ openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete
You will see messages that confirm that the control plane machines are running and have joined the cluster:
INFO API v1.14.6+f9b5405 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... ... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources
1.3.19. Logging in to the cluster
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
- Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
Install 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 system:admin
1.3.20. Deleting bootstrap resources
Delete the bootstrap resources that you no longer need.
Prerequisites
The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
The control plane machines are running
- If you don’t know the machines' status, see Verifying cluster status
Procedure
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
down-03_bootstrap.yaml
:Example 1.7.
down-03_bootstrap.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstacksdk - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Remove the bootstrap server' os_server: name: "{{ os_bootstrap_server_name }}" state: absent delete_fip: yes - name: 'Remove the bootstrap server port' os_port: name: "{{ os_port_bootstrap }}" state: absent
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml down-03_bootstrap.yaml
The bootstrap port, server, and floating IP address are deleted.
If you did not disable the bootstrap Ignition file URL earlier, do so now.
1.3.21. Creating compute machines
After standing up the control plane, create compute machines.
Prerequisites
The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
-
The
metadata.yaml
file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks - The control plane is active
Procedure
-
On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
files. Insert the following content into a local file that is called
05_compute-nodes.yaml
:Example 1.8.
05_compute-nodes.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstackclient # openstacksdk # netaddr - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Create the Compute ports' os_port: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" network: "{{ os_network }}" security_groups: - "{{ os_sg_worker }}" allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(7) }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_worker] * os_compute_nodes_number }}" register: ports - name: 'Set Compute ports tag' command: cmd: "openstack port set --tag {{ [cluster_id_tag] }} {{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_worker] * os_compute_nodes_number }}" - name: 'List the Compute Trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk list" when: os_networking_type == "Kuryr" register: compute_trunks - name: 'Create the Compute trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk create --parent-port {{ item.1.id }} {{ os_compute_trunk_name }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ ports.results }}" when: - os_networking_type == "Kuryr" - "os_compute_trunk_name|string not in compute_trunks.stdout" - name: 'Create the Compute servers' os_server: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" image: "{{ os_image_rhcos }}" flavor: "{{ os_flavor_worker }}" auto_ip: no userdata: "{{ lookup('file', 'worker.ign') | string }}" nics: - port-name: "{{ os_port_worker }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_compute_server_name] * os_compute_nodes_number }}"
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 05_compute-nodes.yaml
Next steps
- Approve the machines' certificate signing requests
1.3.22. 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 NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-01.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 master-02.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 master-03.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 worker-01.example.com Ready worker 40d v1.17.1 worker-02.example.com Ready worker 40d v1.17.1
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
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 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 you approve the initial CSRs, the subsequent node client CSRs are automatically approved by the cluster
kube-controller-manager
. You must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests.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
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 v1.20.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.20.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.20.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0
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.
1.3.23. Verifying a successful installation
Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform installation is complete.
Prerequisites
-
You have the installation program (
openshift-install
)
Procedure
On a command line, enter:
$ openshift-install --log-level debug wait-for install-complete
The program outputs the console URL, as well as the administrator’s login information.
1.3.24. Configuring application access with floating IP addresses
After you install OpenShift Container Platform, configure Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) to allow application network traffic.
Prerequisites
- OpenShift Container Platform cluster must be installed
- Floating IP addresses are enabled as described in Enabling access to the environment.
Procedure
After you install the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, attach a floating IP address to the ingress port:
Show the port:
$ openstack port show <cluster name>-<clusterID>-ingress-port
Attach the port to the IP address:
$ openstack floating ip set --port <ingress port ID> <apps FIP>
Add a wildcard
A
record for*apps.
to your DNS file:*.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> IN A <apps FIP>
If you do not control the DNS server but want to enable application access for non-production purposes, you can add these hostnames to /etc/hosts
:
<apps FIP> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> <app name>.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain>
1.3.25. Next steps
- Customize your cluster.
- If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
- If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.
1.4. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr on your own infrastructure
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.4, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that runs on user-provisioned infrastructure.
Using your own infrastructure allows you to integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. The process requires more labor on your part than installer-provisioned installations, because you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. However, Red Hat provides Ansible playbooks to help you in the deployment process.
1.4.1. Prerequisites
Review details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
- Verify that OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 is compatible with your RHOSP version in the Available platforms section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix.
- Verify that your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported.
- Have an RHOSP account where you want to install OpenShift Container Platform.
On the machine from which you run the installation program, have:
- A single directory in which you can keep the files you create during the installation process
- Python 3
1.4.2. About Kuryr SDN
Kuryr is a container network interface (CNI) plug-in solution that uses the Neutron and Octavia Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) services to provide networking for pods and Services.
Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances.
Kuryr components are installed as pods in OpenShift Container Platform using the openshift-kuryr
namespace:
-
kuryr-controller
- a single service instance installed on amaster
node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDeployment
object. -
kuryr-cni
- a container installing and configuring Kuryr as a CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDaemonSet
object.
The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift Container Platform API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OpenShift Container Platform API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OpenShift Container Platform via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN) as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs.
Kuryr is recommended for OpenShift Container Platform deployments on encapsulated RHOSP tenant networks to avoid double encapsulation, such as running an encapsulated OpenShift Container Platform SDN over an RHOSP network.
If you use provider networks or tenant VLANs, you do not need to use Kuryr to avoid double encapsulation. The performance benefit is negligible. Depending on your configuration, though, using Kuryr to avoid having two overlays might still be beneficial.
Kuryr is not recommended in deployments where all of the following criteria are true:
- The RHOSP version is less than 16.
- The deployment uses UDP services, or a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
or
-
The
ovn-octavia
Octavia driver is disabled. - The deployment uses a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
1.4.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP with Kuryr
When using Kuryr SDN, the pods, services, namespaces, and network policies are using resources from the RHOSP quota; this increases the minimum requirements. Kuryr also has some additional requirements on top of what a default install requires.
Use the following quota to satisfy a default cluster’s minimum requirements:
Resource | Value |
---|---|
Floating IP addresses | 3 - plus the expected number of Services of LoadBalancer type |
Ports | 1500 - 1 needed per Pod |
Routers | 1 |
Subnets | 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
Networks | 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
RAM | 112 GB |
vCPUs | 28 |
Volume storage | 275 GB |
Instances | 7 |
Security groups | 250 - 1 needed per Service and per NetworkPolicy |
Security group rules | 1000 |
Load balancers | 100 - 1 needed per Service |
Load balancer listeners | 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
Load balancer pools | 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed.
If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator
role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry.
If you are using Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) version 16 with the Amphora driver rather than the OVN Octavia driver, security groups are associated with service accounts instead of user projects.
Take the following notes into consideration when setting resources:
- The number of ports that are required is larger than the number of pods. Kuryr uses ports pools to have pre-created ports ready to be used by pods and speed up the pods' booting time.
-
Each network policy is mapped into an RHOSP security group, and depending on the
NetworkPolicy
spec, one or more rules are added to the security group. Each service is mapped to an RHOSP load balancer. Consider this requirement when estimating the number of security groups required for the quota.
If you are using RHOSP version 15 or earlier, or the
ovn-octavia driver
, each load balancer has a security group with the user project.The quota does not account for load balancer resources (such as VM resources), but you must consider these resources when you decide the RHOSP deployment’s size. The default installation will have more than 50 load balancers; the clusters must be able to accommodate them.
If you are using RHOSP version 16 with the OVN Octavia driver enabled, only one load balancer VM is generated; services are load balanced through OVN flows.
An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine.
To enable Kuryr SDN, your environment must meet the following requirements:
- Run RHOSP 13+.
- Have Overcloud with Octavia.
- Use Neutron Trunk ports extension.
-
Use
openvswitch
firewall driver if ML2/OVS Neutron driver is used instead ofovs-hybrid
.
1.4.3.1. Increasing quota
When using Kuryr SDN, you must increase quotas to satisfy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) resources used by pods, services, namespaces, and network policies.
Procedure
Increase the quotas for a project by running the following command:
$ sudo openstack quota set --secgroups 250 --secgroup-rules 1000 --ports 1500 --subnets 250 --networks 250 <project>
1.4.3.2. Configuring Neutron
Kuryr CNI leverages the Neutron Trunks extension to plug containers into the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SDN, so you must use the trunks
extension for Kuryr to properly work.
In addition, if you leverage the default ML2/OVS Neutron driver, the firewall must be set to openvswitch
instead of ovs_hybrid
so that security groups are enforced on trunk subports and Kuryr can properly handle network policies.
1.4.3.3. Configuring Octavia
Kuryr SDN uses Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)'s Octavia LBaaS to implement OpenShift Container Platform services. Thus, you must install and configure Octavia components in RHOSP to use Kuryr SDN.
To enable Octavia, you must include the Octavia service during the installation of the RHOSP Overcloud, or upgrade the Octavia service if the Overcloud already exists. The following steps for enabling Octavia apply to both a clean install of the Overcloud or an Overcloud update.
The following steps only capture the key pieces required during the deployment of RHOSP when dealing with Octavia. It is also important to note that registry methods vary.
This example uses the local registry method.
Procedure
If you are using the local registry, create a template to upload the images to the registry. For example:
(undercloud) $ openstack overcloud container image prepare \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ --namespace=registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13 \ --push-destination=<local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 \ --prefix=openstack- \ --tag-from-label {version}-{release} \ --output-env-file=/home/stack/templates/overcloud_images.yaml \ --output-images-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml
Verify that the
local_registry_images.yaml
file contains the Octavia images. For example:... - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-api:13.0-43 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-health-manager:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-housekeeping:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-worker:13.0-44 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787
NoteThe Octavia container versions vary depending upon the specific RHOSP release installed.
Pull the container images from
registry.redhat.io
to the Undercloud node:(undercloud) $ sudo openstack overcloud container image upload \ --config-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml \ --verbose
This may take some time depending on the speed of your network and Undercloud disk.
Since an Octavia load balancer is used to access the OpenShift Container Platform API, you must increase their listeners' default timeouts for the connections. The default timeout is 50 seconds. Increase the timeout to 20 minutes by passing the following file to the Overcloud deploy command:
(undercloud) $ cat octavia_timeouts.yaml parameter_defaults: OctaviaTimeoutClientData: 1200000 OctaviaTimeoutMemberData: 1200000
NoteThis is not needed for RHOSP 14+.
Install or update your Overcloud environment with Octavia:
openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ -e octavia_timeouts.yaml
NoteThis command only includes the files associated with Octavia; it varies based on your specific installation of RHOSP. See the RHOSP documentation for further information. For more information on customizing your Octavia installation, see installation of Octavia using Director.
NoteWhen leveraging Kuryr SDN, the Overcloud installation requires the Neutron
trunk
extension. This is available by default on director deployments. Use theopenvswitch
firewall instead of the defaultovs-hybrid
when the Neutron backend is ML2/OVS. There is no need for modifications if the backend is ML2/OVN.In RHOSP versions 13 and 15, add the project ID to the
octavia.conf
configuration file after you create the project.To enforce network policies across services, like when traffic goes through the Octavia load balancer, you must ensure Octavia creates the Amphora VM security groups on the user project.
This change ensures that required load balancer security groups belong to that project, and that they can be updated to enforce services isolation.
NoteThis task is unnecessary in RHOSP version 16 or later.
Octavia implements a new ACL API that restricts access to the load balancers VIP.

to add the project into the list of projects where Amphora security groups are on the user’s account.# List of project IDs that are allowed to have Load balancer security groups # belonging to them. amp_secgroup_allowed_projects = PROJECT_ID
Restart the Octavia worker so the new configuration loads.
controller-0$ sudo docker restart octavia_worker
Depending on your RHOSP environment, Octavia might not support UDP listeners. If you use Kuryr SDN on RHOSP version 15 or earlier, UDP services are not supported. RHOSP version 16 or later support UDP.
1.4.3.3.1. The Octavia OVN Driver
Octavia supports multiple provider drivers through the Octavia API.
To see all available Octavia provider drivers, on a command line, enter:
$ openstack loadbalancer provider list
The result is a list of drivers:
+---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | name | description | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | amphora | The Octavia Amphora driver. | | octavia | Deprecated alias of the Octavia Amphora driver. | | ovn | Octavia OVN driver. | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+
Beginning with RHOSP version 16, the Octavia OVN provider driver (ovn
) is supported on OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP deployments.
ovn
is an integration driver for the load balancing that Octavia and OVN provide. It supports basic load balancing capabilities, and is based on OpenFlow rules. The driver is automatically enabled in Octavia by Director on deployments that use OVN Neutron ML2.
The Amphora provider driver is the default driver. If ovn
is enabled, however, Kuryr uses it.
If Kuryr uses ovn
instead of Amphora, it offers the following benefits:
- Decreased resource requirements. Kuryr does not require a load balancer VM for each service.
- Reduced network latency.
- Increased service creation speed by using OpenFlow rules instead of a VM for each service.
- Distributed load balancing actions across all nodes instead of centralized on Amphora VMs.
1.4.3.4. Known limitations of installing with Kuryr
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several known limitations.
RHOSP general limitations
OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN does not support Service
objects with type NodePort
.
RHOSP version limitations
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that depend on the RHOSP version.
RHOSP versions before 16 use the default Octavia load balancer driver (Amphora). This driver requires that one Amphora load balancer VM is deployed per OpenShift Container Platform service. Creating too many services can cause you to run out of resources.
Deployments of later versions of RHOSP that have the OVN Octavia driver disabled also use the Amphora driver. They are subject to the same resource concerns as earlier versions of RHOSP.
- Octavia RHOSP versions before 16 do not support UDP listeners. Therefore, OpenShift Container Platform UDP services are not supported.
- Octavia RHOSP versions before 16 cannot listen to multiple protocols on the same port. Services that expose the same port to different protocols, like TCP and UDP, are not supported.
The OVN Octavia driver does not support listeners that use different protocols on any RHOSP version.
RHOSP environment limitations
There are limitations when using Kuryr SDN that depend on your deployment environment.
Because of Octavia’s lack of support for the UDP protocol and multiple listeners, Kuryr forces pods to use TCP for DNS resolution if:
- The RHOSP version is earlier than 16
- The OVN Octavia driver is used
In Go versions 1.12 and earlier, applications that are compiled with CGO support disabled use UDP only. In this case, the native Go resolver does not recognize the use-vc
option in resolv.conf
, which controls whether TCP is forced for DNS resolution. As a result, UDP is still used for DNS resolution, which fails.
To ensure that TCP forcing is allowed, compile applications either with the environment variable CGO_ENABLED
set to 1
, i.e. CGO_ENABLED=1
, or ensure that the variable is absent.
In Go versions 1.13 and later, TCP is used automatically if DNS resolution using UDP fails.
musl-based containers, including Alpine-based containers, do not support the use-vc
option.
1.4.3.5. Control plane and compute machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process stands up three control plane and three compute machines.
Each machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can.
1.4.3.6. Bootstrap machine
During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned.
The bootstrap machine requires:
- An instance from the RHOSP quota
- A port from the RHOSP quota
- A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space
1.4.4. Internet and Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.4, you require access to the Internet to install your cluster. The Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, also requires Internet access. If your cluster is connected to the Internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (OCM).
Once you confirm that your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually using OCM, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.
You must have Internet access to:
- Access the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager page 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.
If your cluster cannot have direct Internet access, you can perform a restricted network installation on some types of infrastructure that you provision. During that process, you download the content that is required and use it to populate a mirror registry with the packages that you need to install a cluster and generate the installation program. With some installation types, the environment that you install your cluster in will not require Internet access. Before you update the cluster, you update the content of the mirror registry.
1.4.5. Downloading playbook dependencies
The Ansible playbooks that simplify the installation process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the installer, add the modules' repositories and then download them.
These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.
Prerequisites
- Python 3 is installed on your machine
Procedure
On a command line, add the repositories:
$ sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=$YOUR_POOLID # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
Install the modules:
$ sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk python3-netaddr
Ensure that the
python
command points topython3
:$ sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
1.4.6. Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer.
Prerequisites
- You must install the cluster from a computer that uses Linux or macOS.
- You need 500 MB of local disk space to download the installation program.
Procedure
- Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files.
ImportantThe installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep both the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster.
ImportantDeleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. You must complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures outlined for your specific cloud provider to remove your cluster entirely.
Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ tar xvf <installation_program>.tar.gz
-
From the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site, download your installation pull secret as a
.txt
file. This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components.
1.4.7. Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
If you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery on your cluster, you must provide an SSH key to both your ssh-agent
and the installation program. You can use this key to access the bootstrap machine in a public cluster to troubleshoot installation issues.
In a production environment, you require disaster recovery and debugging.
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user core
. When you deploy the cluster, the key is added to the core
user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list.
Procedure
If you do not have an SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication on your computer, 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_rsa
, of the SSH key. Do not specify an existing SSH key, as it will be overwritten.
Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in the location that you specified.
Start the
ssh-agent
process as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" Agent pid 31874
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1 Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
- 1
- Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Next steps
- When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
1.4.8. Creating the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program requires that a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image be present in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) cluster. Retrieve the latest RHCOS image, then upload it using the RHOSP CLI.
Prerequisites
- The RHOSP CLI is installed.
Procedure
- Log in to the Red Hat customer portal’s Product Downloads page.
Under Version, select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.
ImportantThe RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available.
- Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS - OpenStack Image (QCOW).
Decompress the image.
NoteYou must decompress the RHOSP image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like
.gz
or.tgz
. To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter:$ file <name_of_downloaded_file>
From the image that you downloaded, create an image that is named
rhcos
in your cluster by using the RHOSP CLI:$ openstack image create --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2 --file rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-openstack.qcow2 rhcos
ImportantDepending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either
.raw
or.qcow2
formats. If you use Ceph, you must use the.raw
format.WarningIf the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP.
After you upload the image to RHOSP, it is usable in the installation process.
1.4.9. Verifying external network access
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
Procedure
Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network:
$ openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+
A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network.
If the Neutron trunk service plug-in is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port.
1.4.10. Enabling access to the environment
At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments.
You can configure the OpenShift Container Platform API and applications that run on the cluster to be accessible by using floating IP addresses.
1.4.10.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses
Create two floating IP (FIP) addresses: one for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, the API FIP
, and one for OpenShift Container Platform applications, the apps FIP
.
The API FIP is also used in the install-config.yaml
file.
Procedure
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external network>
To reflect the new FIPs, add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server:
api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP>
NoteIf you do not control the DNS server you can add the record to your
/etc/hosts
file instead. This action makes the API accessible to you only, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing.
You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration.
1.4.11. Defining parameters for the installation program
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml
. The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs.
Procedure
Create the
clouds.yaml
file:If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a
clouds.yaml
file in it.ImportantRemember to add a password to the
auth
field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file fromclouds.yaml
.If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about
clouds.yaml
, see Config files in the RHOSP documentation.clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: shiftstack_user password: XXX user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: 'devuser' password: XXX project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0'
If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication:
- Copy the certificate authority file to your machine.
In the command line, run the following commands to add the machine to the certificate authority trust bundle:
$ sudo cp ca.crt.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ $ sudo update-ca-trust extract
Add the
cacerts
key to theclouds.yaml
file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate:clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem"
TipAfter you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the
ca-cert.pem
key in thecloud-provider-config
keymap. On a command line, run:$ oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config
Place the
clouds.yaml
file in one of the following locations:-
The value of the
OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE
environment variable - The current directory
-
A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example
/etc/openstack/clouds.yaml
The installation program searches for
clouds.yaml
in that order.
-
The value of the
1.4.12. Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Procedure
Create the
install-config.yaml
file.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 openstack as the platform to target.
- Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster.
- Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API.
- Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane and compute nodes.
- Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name.
- Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long.
- Paste the pull secret that you obtained from the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site.
-
Modify the
install-config.yaml
file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the
install-config.yaml
file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters.ImportantThe
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
You now have the file install-config.yaml
in the directory that you specified.
1.4.13. Installation configuration parameters
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster’s platform. When you create the install-config.yaml
installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml
file to provide more details about the platform.
You cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml
file after installation.

1.4.13.1. Sample customized install-config.yaml
file for RHOSP with Kuryr
To deploy with Kuryr SDN instead of the default OpenShift SDN, you must modify the install-config.yaml
file to include Kuryr
as the desired networking.networkType
and proceed with the default OpenShift Container Platform SDN installation steps. This sample install-config.yaml
demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options.
This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml
file by using the installation program.
apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com clusterID: os-test controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: Kuryr platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge lbFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 trunkSupport: true octaviaSupport: true pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA...
Both trunkSupport
and octaviaSupport
are automatically discovered by the installer, so there is no need to set them. But if your environment does not meet both requirements, Kuryr SDN will not properly work. Trunks are needed to connect the pods to the RHOSP network and Octavia is required to create the OpenShift Container Platform services.
1.4.13.2. Setting a custom subnet for machines
The IP range that the installation program uses by default might not match the Neutron subnet that you create when you install OpenShift Container Platform. If necessary, update the CIDR value for new machines by editing the installation configuration file.
Prerequisites
-
You have the
install-config.yaml
file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml
. From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yaml
file or update the file manually:To set the value by using a script, run:
python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["machineNetwork"] = [{"cidr": "192.168.0.0/18"}]; 1 open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'
- 1
- Insert a value that matches your intended Neutron subnet, e.g.
192.0.2.0/24
.
-
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
networking.machineCIDR
to something that matches your intended Neutron subnet.
1.4.13.3. Emptying compute machine pools
To proceed with an installation that uses your own infrastructure, set the number of compute machines in the installation configuration file to zero. Later, you create these machines manually.
Prerequisites
-
You have the
install-config.yaml
file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml
. From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yaml
file or update the file manually:To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["compute"][0]["replicas"] = 0; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'
-
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
compute.<first entry>.replicas
to0
.
1.4.13.4. Modifying the network type
By default, the installation program selects the OpenShiftSDN
network type. To use Kuryr instead, change the value in the installation configuration file that the program generated.
Prerequisites
-
You have the file
install-config.yaml
that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program
Procedure
-
In a command prompt, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml
. From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yaml
file or update the file manually:To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["networkType"] = "Kuryr"; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'
-
To set the value manually, open the file and set
networking.networkType
to"Kuryr"
.
1.4.14. 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 make its machines.
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.
Prerequisites
- Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
-
Create the
install-config.yaml
installation configuration file.
Procedure
Generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir=<installation_directory> 1 INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory WARNING Making control-plane schedulable by setting MastersSchedulable to true for Scheduler cluster settings
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the installation directory that contains theinstall-config.yaml
file you created.
Because you create your own compute machines later in the installation process, you can safely ignore this warning.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines and compute machine sets:
$ rm -f openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml
Because you create and manage these resources yourself, you do not have to initialize them.
- You can preserve the machine set files to create compute machines by using the machine API, but you must update references to them to match your environment.
Modify the
<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
Kubernetes manifest file to prevent 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 set its value toFalse
. - Save and exit the file.
NoteCurrently, due to a Kubernetes limitation, router Pods running on control plane machines will not be reachable by the ingress load balancer. This step might not be required in a future minor version of OpenShift Container Platform.
-
Open the
Obtain the Ignition config files:
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir=<installation_directory> 1
- 1
- For
<installation_directory>
, specify the same installation directory.
The following files are generated in the directory:
. ├── auth │ ├── kubeadmin-password │ └── kubeconfig ├── bootstrap.ign ├── master.ign ├── metadata.json └── worker.ign
Export the metadata file’s
infraID
key as an environment variable:$ export INFRA_ID=$(jq -r .infraID metadata.json)
Extract the infraID
key from metadata.json
and use it as a prefix for all of the RHOSP resources that you create. By doing so, you avoid name conflicts when making multiple deployments in the same project.
1.4.15. Preparing the bootstrap Ignition files
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process relies on bootstrap machines that are created from a bootstrap Ignition configuration file.
Edit the file and upload it. Then, create a secondary bootstrap Ignition configuration file that Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses to download the primary file.
Prerequisites
-
You have the bootstrap Ignition file that the installer program generates,
bootstrap.ign
. The infrastructure ID from the installer’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
).- If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files.
You have an HTTP(S)-accessible way to store the bootstrap Ignition file.
- The documented procedure uses the RHOSP image service (Glance), but you can also use the RHOSP storage service (Swift), Amazon S3, an internal HTTP server, or an ad hoc Nova server.
Procedure
Run the following Python script. The script modifies the bootstrap Ignition file to set the host name and, if available, CA certificate file when it runs:
import base64 import json import os with open('bootstrap.ign', 'r') as f: ignition = json.load(f) files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []) infra_id = os.environ.get('INFRA_ID', 'openshift').encode() hostname_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(infra_id + b'-bootstrap\n').decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + hostname_b64, 'verification': {} }, 'filesystem': 'root', }) ca_cert_path = os.environ.get('OS_CACERT', '') if ca_cert_path: with open(ca_cert_path, 'r') as f: ca_cert = f.read().encode() ca_cert_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(ca_cert).decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/opt/openshift/tls/cloud-ca-cert.pem', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + ca_cert_b64, 'verification': {} }, 'filesystem': 'root', }) ignition['storage']['files'] = files; with open('bootstrap.ign', 'w') as f: json.dump(ignition, f)
Using the RHOSP CLI, create an image that uses the bootstrap Ignition file:
$ openstack image create --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --file bootstrap.ign <image_name>
Get the image’s details:
$ openstack image show <image_name>
Make a note of the
file
value; it follows the patternv2/images/<image_ID>/file
.NoteVerify that the image you created is active.
Retrieve the image service’s public address:
$ openstack catalog show image
-
Combine the public address with the image
file
value and save the result as the storage location. The location follows the pattern<image_service_public_URL>/v2/images/<image_ID>/file
. Generate an auth token and save the token ID:
$ openstack token issue -c id -f value
Insert the following content into a file called
$INFRA_ID-bootstrap-ignition.json
and edit the placeholders to match your own values:{ "ignition": { "config": { "append": [{ "source": "<storage_url>", 1 "verification": {}, "httpHeaders": [{ "name": "X-Auth-Token", 2 "value": "<token_ID>" 3 }] }] }, "security": { "tls": { "certificateAuthorities": [{ "source": "data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,<base64_encoded_certificate>", 4 "verification": {} }] } }, "timeouts": {}, "version": "2.4.0" }, "networkd": {}, "passwd": {}, "storage": {}, "systemd": {} }
- 1
- Replace the value of
ignition.config.append.source
with the bootstrap Ignition file storage URL. - 2
- Set
name
inhttpHeaders
to"X-Auth-Token"
. - 3
- Set
value
inhttpHeaders
to your token’s ID. - 4
- If the bootstrap Ignition file server uses a self-signed certificate, include the base64-encoded certificate.
- Save the secondary Ignition config file.
The bootstrap Ignition data will be passed to RHOSP during installation.
The bootstrap Ignition file contains sensitive information, like clouds.yaml
credentials. Ensure that you store it in a secure place, and delete it after you complete the installation process.
1.4.16. Creating control plane Ignition config files
Installing OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on your own infrastructure requires control plane Ignition config files. You must create multiple config files.
As with the bootstrap Ignition configuration, you must explicitly define a host name for each control plane machine.
Prerequisites
The infrastructure ID from the installation program’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
)- If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files.
Procedure
On a command line, run the following Python script:
$ for index in $(seq 0 2); do MASTER_HOSTNAME="$INFRA_ID-master-$index\n" python -c "import base64, json, sys; ignition = json.load(sys.stdin); files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []); files.append({'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': {'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64.standard_b64encode(b'$MASTER_HOSTNAME').decode().strip(), 'verification': {}}, 'filesystem': 'root'}); ignition['storage']['files'] = files; json.dump(ignition, sys.stdout)" <master.ign >"$INFRA_ID-master-$index-ignition.json" done
You now have three control plane Ignition files:
<INFRA_ID>-master-0-ignition.json
,<INFRA_ID>-master-1-ignition.json
, and<INFRA_ID>-master-2-ignition.json
.
1.4.17. Creating network resources
Create the network resources that an OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) installation on your own infrastructure requires. To save time, run supplied Ansible playbooks that generate security groups, networks, subnets, routers, and ports.
Procedure
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
common.yaml
:Example 1.9.
common.yaml
Ansible playbook- hosts: localhost gather_facts: no vars_files: - metadata.json tasks: - name: 'Compute resource names' set_fact: cluster_id_tag: "openshiftClusterID={{ infraID }}" os_network: "{{ infraID }}-network" os_subnet: "{{ infraID }}-nodes" os_router: "{{ infraID }}-external-router" # Port names os_port_api: "{{ infraID }}-api-port" os_port_ingress: "{{ infraID }}-ingress-port" os_port_bootstrap: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap-port" os_port_master: "{{ infraID }}-master-port" os_port_worker: "{{ infraID }}-worker-port" # Security groups names os_sg_master: "{{ infraID }}-master" os_sg_worker: "{{ infraID }}-worker" # Server names os_bootstrap_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap" os_cp_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-master" os_compute_server_name: "{{ infraID }}-worker" # Trunk names os_cp_trunk_name: "{{ infraID }}-master-trunk" os_compute_trunk_name: "{{ infraID }}-worker-trunk" # Subnet pool name subnet_pool: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-pod-subnetpool" # Service network name os_svc_network: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-service-network" # Service subnet name os_svc_subnet: "{{ infraID }}-kuryr-service-subnet" # Ignition files os_bootstrap_ignition: "{{ infraID }}-bootstrap-ignition.json"
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
inventory.yaml

On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 03_bootstrap.yaml
After the bootstrap server is active, view the logs to verify that the Ignition files were received:
$ openstack console log show "$INFRA_ID-bootstrap"
1.4.19. Creating the control plane machines
Create three control plane machines by using the Ignition config files that you generated.
Prerequisites
-
The infrastructure ID from the installation program’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID
) The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
- The three Ignition files created in Creating control plane Ignition config files
Procedure
-
On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
files. - If the control plane Ignition config files aren’t already in your working directory, copy them into it.
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
04_control-plane.yaml
:Example 1.14.
04_control-plane.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstackclient # openstacksdk # netaddr - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Create the Control Plane ports' os_port: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" network: "{{ os_network }}" security_groups: - "{{ os_sg_master }}" allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(5) }}" - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(6) }}" - ip_address: "{{ os_subnet_range | next_nth_usable(7) }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_master] * os_cp_nodes_number }}" register: ports - name: 'Set Control Plane ports tag' command: cmd: "openstack port set --tag {{ cluster_id_tag }} {{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_port_master] * os_cp_nodes_number }}" - name: 'List the Control Plane Trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk list" when: os_networking_type == "Kuryr" register: control_plane_trunks - name: 'Create the Control Plane trunks' command: cmd: "openstack network trunk create --parent-port {{ item.1.id }} {{ os_cp_trunk_name }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ ports.results }}" when: - os_networking_type == "Kuryr" - "os_cp_trunk_name|string not in control_plane_trunks.stdout" - name: 'Create the Control Plane servers' os_server: name: "{{ item.1 }}-{{ item.0 }}" image: "{{ os_image_rhcos }}" flavor: "{{ os_flavor_master }}" auto_ip: no # The ignition filename will be concatenated with the Control Plane node # name and its 0-indexed serial number. # In this case, the first node will look for this filename: # "{{ infraID }}-master-0-ignition.json" userdata: "{{ lookup('file', [item.1, item.0, 'ignition.json'] | join('-')) | string }}" nics: - port-name: "{{ os_port_master }}-{{ item.0 }}" with_indexed_items: "{{ [os_cp_server_name] * os_cp_nodes_number }}"
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 04_control-plane.yaml
Run the following command to monitor the bootstrapping process:
$ openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete
You will see messages that confirm that the control plane machines are running and have joined the cluster:
INFO API v1.14.6+f9b5405 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... ... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources
1.4.20. Logging in to the cluster
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
- Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
Install 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 system:admin
1.4.21. Deleting bootstrap resources
Delete the bootstrap resources that you no longer need.
Prerequisites
The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
The control plane machines are running
- If you don’t know the machines' status, see Verifying cluster status
Procedure
Insert the following content into a local file that is called
down-03_bootstrap.yaml
:Example 1.15.
down-03_bootstrap.yaml
# Required Python packages: # # ansible # openstacksdk - import_playbook: common.yaml - hosts: all gather_facts: no tasks: - name: 'Remove the bootstrap server' os_server: name: "{{ os_bootstrap_server_name }}" state: absent delete_fip: yes - name: 'Remove the bootstrap server port' os_port: name: "{{ os_port_bootstrap }}" state: absent
On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml down-03_bootstrap.yaml
The bootstrap port, server, and floating IP address are deleted.
If you did not disable the bootstrap Ignition file URL earlier, do so now.
1.4.22. Creating compute machines
After standing up the control plane, create compute machines.
Prerequisites
The
inventory.yaml
andcommon.yaml
Ansible playbooks in a common directory- If you need these files, copy them from Creating network resources
-
The
metadata.yaml
file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks - The control plane is active
Procedure

On a command line, run the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml 05_compute-nodes.yaml
Next steps
- Approve the machines' certificate signing requests
1.4.23. 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 NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-01.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 master-02.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 master-03.example.com Ready master 40d v1.17.1 worker-01.example.com Ready worker 40d v1.17.1 worker-02.example.com Ready worker 40d v1.17.1
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
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 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 you approve the initial CSRs, the subsequent node client CSRs are automatically approved by the cluster
kube-controller-manager
. You must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests.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
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 v1.20.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.20.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.20.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0
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.
1.4.24. Verifying a successful installation
Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform installation is complete.
Prerequisites
-
You have the installation program (
openshift-install
)
Procedure
On a command line, enter:
$ openshift-install --log-level debug wait-for install-complete
The program outputs the console URL, as well as the administrator’s login information.
1.4.25. Configuring application access with floating IP addresses
After you install OpenShift Container Platform, configure Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) to allow application network traffic.
Prerequisites
- OpenShift Container Platform cluster must be installed
- Floating IP addresses are enabled as described in Enabling access to the environment.
Procedure
After you install the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, attach a floating IP address to the ingress port:
Show the port:
$ openstack port show <cluster name>-<clusterID>-ingress-port
Attach the port to the IP address:
$ openstack floating ip set --port <ingress port ID> <apps FIP>
Add a wildcard
A
record for*apps.
to your DNS file:*.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> IN A <apps FIP>
If you do not control the DNS server but want to enable application access for non-production purposes, you can add these hostnames to /etc/hosts
:
<apps FIP> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain> <apps FIP> <app name>.apps.<cluster name>.<base domain>
1.4.26. Next steps
- Customize your cluster.
- If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
- If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.
1.5. Uninstalling a cluster on OpenStack
You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
1.5.1. Removing a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure
You can remove a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure from your cloud.
Prerequisites
- Have a copy of the installation program that you used to deploy the cluster.
- Have the files that the installation program generated when you created your cluster.
Procedure
From the computer that you used to install the cluster, run the following command:
$ ./openshift-install destroy cluster \ --dir=<installation_directory> --log-level=info 1 2
NoteYou must specify the directory that contains the cluster definition files for your cluster. The installation program requires the
metadata.json
file in this directory to delete the cluster.-
Optional: Delete the
<installation_directory>
directory and the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
1.6. Uninstalling a cluster on OpenStack from your own infrastructure
You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on user-provisioned infrastructure.
1.6.1. Prerequisites
Have on your machine
- A single directory in which you can create files to help you with the removal process
- Python 3
1.6.2. Downloading playbook dependencies
The Ansible playbooks that simplify the removal process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the process, add the modules' repositories and then download them.
These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.
Prerequisites
- Python 3 is installed on your machine
Procedure
On a command line, add the repositories:
$ sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=$YOUR_POOLID # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already $ sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
Install the modules:
$ sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk
Ensure that the
python
command points topython3
:$ sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
1.6.3. Removing a cluster on RHOSP that uses your own infrastructure
You can remove an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that uses your own infrastructure. To complete the removal process quickly, create and run several Ansible playbooks.
Prerequisites
- Python 3 is installed on your machine
- You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies"
You may have the common.yaml
and inventory.yaml
playbooks left over from when you installed OpenShift Container Platform. If you do, you can skip the first two steps of the procedure.
Insert the following content into a local file called
common.yaml
:Example 1.17.
