Install ROSA Classic clusters

Procedure

1. Create an OpenShift Cluster Manager role and link it to your Red Hat organization:

   Note

   To enable automatic deployment of the cluster-specific Operator roles and the OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider using the OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console, you must apply the administrative privileges to the role by choosing the Admin OCM role command in the Accounts and roles step of creating a ROSA cluster. For more information about the basic and administrative privileges for the OpenShift Cluster Manager role, see Understanding AWS account association.

   Note

   If you choose the Basic OCM role command in the Accounts and roles step of creating a ROSA cluster in the OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console, you must deploy a ROSA cluster using manual mode. You will be prompted to configure the cluster-specific Operator roles and the OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider in a later step.

   $ rosa create ocm-role

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Select the default values at the prompts to quickly create and link the role.

2. Create a user role and link it to your Red Hat user account:

   $ rosa create user-role

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Select the default values at the prompts to quickly create and link the role.

   Note

   The Red Hat user account must exist in the Red Hat organization that is linked to your OpenShift Cluster Manager role.

Procedure

1. Check your AWS account for existing roles and policies:

   $ rosa list account-roles

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. If they do not exist in your AWS account, create the required account-wide AWS IAM STS roles and policies:

   $ rosa create account-roles

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Select the default values at the prompts to quickly create the roles and policies.

Procedure

1. To create your OIDC configuration alongside the AWS resources, run the following command:

   $ rosa create oidc-config --mode=auto --yes

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   This command returns the following information.

   For example:

   ? Would you like to create a Managed (Red Hat hosted) OIDC Configuration Yes
   I: Setting up managed OIDC configuration
   I: To create Operator Roles for this OIDC Configuration, run the following command and remember to replace <user-defined> with a prefix of your choice:
   	rosa create operator-roles --prefix <user-defined> --oidc-config-id 13cdr6b
   If you are going to create a Hosted Control Plane cluster please include '--hosted-cp'
   I: Creating OIDC provider using 'arn:aws:iam::4540112244:user/userName'
   ? Create the OIDC provider? Yes
   I: Created OIDC provider with ARN 'arn:aws:iam::4540112244:oidc-provider/dvbwgdztaeq9o.cloudfront.net/13cdr6b'

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   When creating your cluster, you must supply the OIDC config ID. The CLI output provides this value for --mode auto, otherwise you must determine these values based on aws CLI output for --mode manual.

2. Optional: you can save the OIDC configuration ID as a variable to use later. Run the following command to save the variable:

   $ export OIDC_ID=<oidc_config_id>

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   <oidc_config_id>

   In this example output, the OIDC configuration ID is 13cdr6b.

   • View the value of the variable by running the following command:

     $ echo $OIDC_ID

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     For example:

     13cdr6b

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Procedure

1. Navigate to OpenShift Cluster Manager and select Create cluster.
2. On the Create an OpenShift cluster page, select Create cluster in the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture (ROSA) row.

3. Verify that your AWS account ID is listed in the Associated AWS accounts drop-down menu and that the installer, support, worker, and control plane account role Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) are listed on the Accounts and roles page.

   Note

   If your AWS account ID is not listed, check that you have successfully associated your AWS account with your Red Hat organization. If your account role ARNs are not listed, check that the required account-wide STS roles exist in your AWS account.

4. Click Next.

5. On the Cluster details page, provide a name for your cluster in the Cluster name field. Leave the default values in the remaining fields and click Next.

   Note

   Cluster creation generates a domain prefix as a subdomain for your provisioned cluster on openshiftapps.com. If the cluster name is less than or equal to 15 characters, that name is used for the domain prefix. If the cluster name is longer than 15 characters, the domain prefix is randomly generated as a 15-character string. To customize the subdomain, select the Create custom domain prefix checkbox, and enter your domain prefix name in the Domain prefix field.

6. To deploy a cluster quickly, leave the default options in the Cluster settings, Networking, Cluster roles and policies, and Cluster updates pages and click Next on each page.
7. On the Review your ROSA cluster page, review the summary of your selections and click Create cluster to start the installation.

8. Optional: On the Overview tab, you can enable the delete protection feature by selecting Enable, which is located directly under Delete Protection: Disabled. This will prevent your cluster from being deleted. To disable delete protection, select Disable. By default, clusters are created with the delete protection feature disabled.

   Verification

   • You can check the progress of the installation in the Overview page for your cluster. You can view the installation logs on the same page. Your cluster is ready when the Status in the Details section of the page is listed as Ready.

     Note

     If the installation fails or the cluster State does not change to Ready after about 40 minutes, check the installation troubleshooting documentation for details. For more information, see Troubleshooting installations. For steps to contact Red Hat Support for assistance, see Getting support for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS.

Procedure

1. Navigate to OpenShift Cluster Manager and select Create cluster.
2. On the Create an OpenShift cluster page, select Create cluster in the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture (ROSA) row.

3. If an AWS account is automatically detected, the account ID is listed in the Associated AWS accounts drop-down menu. If no AWS accounts are automatically detected, click Select an account → Associate AWS account and follow these steps:

   1. On the Authenticate page, click the copy button next to the rosa login command. The command includes your OpenShift Cluster Manager API login token.

      Note

      You can also load your API token on the OpenShift Cluster Manager API Token page on OpenShift Cluster Manager.

   2. Run the copied command in the CLI to log in to your ROSA account.

      $ rosa login --token=<api_login_token> 

      1

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Replace <api_login_token> with the token that is provided in the copied command.

      Example output

      I: Logged in as '<username>' on 'https://api.openshift.com'

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   3. On the Authenticate page in OpenShift Cluster Manager, click Next.

   4. On the OCM role page, click the copy button next to the Basic OCM role or the Admin OCM role commands.

      The basic role enables OpenShift Cluster Manager to detect the AWS IAM roles and policies required by ROSA. The admin role also enables the detection of the roles and policies. In addition, the admin role enables automatic deployment of the cluster-specific Operator roles and the OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider by using OpenShift Cluster Manager.

   5. Run the copied command in the CLI and follow the prompts to create the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role. The following example creates a basic OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role using the default options:

      $ rosa create ocm-role

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      Example output

      I: Creating ocm role
      ? Role prefix: ManagedOpenShift 

      1

      
      ? Enable admin capabilities for the OCM role (optional): No 

      2

      
      ? Permissions boundary ARN (optional):  

      3

      
      ? Role Path (optional): 

      4

      
      ? Role creation mode: auto 

      5

      
      I: Creating role using 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:user/<aws_username>'
      ? Create the 'ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>' role? Yes
      I: Created role 'ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>' with ARN 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>'
      I: Linking OCM role
      ? OCM Role ARN: arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>
      ? Link the 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>' role with organization '<red_hat_organization_id>'? Yes 

      6

      
      I: Successfully linked role-arn 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-OCM-Role-<red_hat_organization_external_id>' with organization account '<red_hat_organization_id>'

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Specify the prefix to include in the OCM IAM role name. The default is ManagedOpenShift. You can create only one OCM role per AWS account for your Red Hat organization.

      2

      Enable the admin OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role, which is equivalent to specifying the --admin argument. The admin role is required if you want to use Auto mode to automatically provision the cluster-specific Operator roles and the OIDC provider by using OpenShift Cluster Manager.

      3

      Optional: Specify a permissions boundary Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role. For more information, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the AWS documentation.

      4

      Specify a custom ARN path for your OCM role. The path must contain alphanumeric characters only and start and end with /, for example /test/path/dev/. For more information, see ARN path customization for IAM roles and policies.

      5

      Select the role creation mode. You can use auto mode to automatically create the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role and link it to your Red Hat organization account. In manual mode, the ROSA CLI generates the aws commands needed to create and link the role. In manual mode, the corresponding policy JSON files are also saved to the current directory. manual mode enables you to review the details before running the aws commands manually.

      6

      Link the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role to your Red Hat organization account.

   6. If you opted not to link the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role to your Red Hat organization account in the preceding command, copy the rosa link command from the OpenShift Cluster Manager OCM role page and run it:

      $ rosa link ocm-role <arn> 

      1

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Replace <arn> with the ARN of the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role that is included in the output of the preceding command.

   7. Select Next on the OpenShift Cluster Manager OCM role page.

   8. On the User role page, click the copy button for the User role command and run the command in the CLI. Red Hat uses the user role to verify your AWS identity when you install a cluster and the required resources with OpenShift Cluster Manager.

      Follow the prompts to create the user role:

      $ rosa create user-role

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      Example output

      I: Creating User role

      ? Link the 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-User-<red_hat_username>-Role' role with account '<red_hat_user_account_id>'? Yes 

      5

      
      I: Successfully linked role ARN 'arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/ManagedOpenShift-User-<red_hat_username>-Role' with account '<red_hat_user_account_id>'

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Specify the prefix to include in the user role name. The default is ManagedOpenShift.

      2

      Optional: Specify a permissions boundary Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role. For more information, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the AWS documentation.

      3

      Specify a custom ARN path for your user role. The path must contain alphanumeric characters only and start and end with /, for example /test/path/dev/. For more information, see ARN path customization for IAM roles and policies.

      4

      Select the role creation mode. You can use auto mode to automatically create the user role and link it to your OpenShift Cluster Manager user account. In manual mode, the ROSA CLI generates the aws commands needed to create and link the role. In manual mode, the corresponding policy JSON files are also saved to the current directory. manual mode enables you to review the details before running the aws commands manually.

      5

      Link the user role to your OpenShift Cluster Manager user account.

   9. If you opted not to link the user role to your OpenShift Cluster Manager user account in the preceding command, copy the rosa link command from the OpenShift Cluster Manager User role page and run it:

      $ rosa link user-role <arn> 

      1

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

       I: To create a cluster with these roles, run the following command:
       rosa create cluster --sts

       Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

       1

       Specify the prefix to include in the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role name. The default is ManagedOpenShift.

       Important

       You must specify an account-wide role prefix that is unique across your AWS account, even if you use a custom ARN path for your account roles.

       2

       Optional: Specify a permissions boundary Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role. For more information, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the AWS documentation.

       3

       Specify a custom ARN path for your account-wide roles. The path must contain alphanumeric characters only and start and end with /, for example /test/path/dev/. For more information, see ARN path customization for IAM roles and policies.

       4

       Select the role creation mode. You can use auto mode to automatically create the account wide roles and policies. In manual mode, the ROSA CLI generates the aws commands needed to create the roles and policies. In manual mode, the corresponding policy JSON files are also saved to the current directory. manual mode enables you to review the details before running the aws commands manually.

       5 6 7 8

       Creates the account-wide installer, control plane, worker and support roles and corresponding IAM policies. For more information, see Account-wide IAM role and policy reference.

       Note

       In this step, the ROSA CLI also automatically creates the account-wide Operator IAM policies that are used by the cluster-specific Operator policies to permit the ROSA cluster Operators to carry out core OpenShift functionality. For more information, see Account-wide IAM role and policy reference.

   13. On the Accounts and roles page, click Refresh ARNs and verify that the installer, support, worker, and control plane account role ARNs are listed.

       If you have more than one set of account roles in your AWS account for your cluster version, a drop-down list of Installer role ARNs is provided. Select the ARN for the installer role that you want to use with your cluster. The cluster uses the account-wide roles and policies that relate to the selected installer role.

4. Click Next.

   Note

   If the Accounts and roles page was refreshed, you might need to select the checkbox again to acknowledge that you have read and completed all of the prerequisites.

5. On the Cluster details page, provide a name for your cluster and specify the cluster details:

   1. Add a Cluster name.

   2. Optional: Cluster creation generates a domain prefix as a subdomain for your provisioned cluster on openshiftapps.com. If the cluster name is less than or equal to 15 characters, that name is used for the domain prefix. If the cluster name is longer than 15 characters, the domain prefix is randomly generated to a 15 character string.

      To customize the subdomain, select the Create custom domain prefix checkbox, and enter your domain prefix name in the Domain prefix field. The domain prefix cannot be longer than 15 characters, must be unique within your organization, and cannot be changed after cluster creation.

   3. Select a cluster version from the Version drop-down menu.

   4. Select a channel group from the Channel group drop-down menu.

      Note

      Channel group options include Stable (default option) and EUS. For more information about the Stable and EUS channel group options, see Understanding update channels and releases.

   5. Select a cloud provider region from the Region drop-down menu.
   6. Select a Single zone or Multi-zone configuration.
   7. Leave Enable user workload monitoring selected to monitor your own projects in isolation from Red Hat Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) platform metrics. This option is enabled by default.

   8. Optional: Expand Advanced Encryption to make changes to encryption settings.

      1. Accept the default setting Use default KMS Keys to use your default AWS KMS key, or select Use Custom KMS keys to use a custom KMS key.

         1. With Use Custom KMS keys selected, enter the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) custom key Amazon Resource Name (ARN) ARN in the Key ARN field. The key is used for encrypting all control plane, infrastructure, worker node root volumes, and persistent volumes in your cluster.

         2. Optional: To create a customer managed KMS key, follow the procedure for Creating symmetric encryption KMS keys.

            Important

            The EBS Operator role is required in addition to the account roles to successfully create your cluster.

            This role must be attached with the ManagedOpenShift-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials policy, an IAM policy required by ROSA to manage back-end storage through the Container Storage Interface (CSI).

            For more information about the policies and permissions that the cluster Operators require, see Methods of account-wide role creation.

            Example EBS Operator role

            "arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/<cluster_name>-xxxx-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credent"

            After you create your Operator roles, you must edit the Key Policy in the Key Management Service (KMS) page of the AWS Console to add the roles.

      2. Optional: Select Enable FIPS cryptography if you require your cluster to be FIPS validated.

         Note

         If Enable FIPS cryptography is selected, Enable additional etcd encryption is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. You can select Enable additional etcd encryption without selecting Enable FIPS cryptography.

      3. Optional: Select Enable additional etcd encryption if you require etcd key value encryption. With this option, the etcd key values are encrypted, but the keys are not. This option is in addition to the control plane storage encryption that encrypts the etcd volumes in Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture clusters by default.

         Note

         By enabling etcd encryption for the key values in etcd, you will incur a performance overhead of approximately 20%. The overhead is a result of introducing this second layer of encryption, in addition to the default control plane storage encryption that encrypts the etcd volumes. Consider enabling etcd encryption only if you specifically require it for your use case.

   9. Click Next.

6. On the Default machine pool page, select a Compute node instance type.

   Note

   After your cluster is created, you can change the number of compute nodes in your cluster, but you cannot change the compute node instance type in the default machine pool. The number and types of nodes available to you depend on whether you use single or multiple availability zones. They also depend on what is enabled and available in your AWS account and the selected region.

7. Optional: Configure autoscaling for the default machine pool:

   1. Select Enable autoscaling to automatically scale the number of machines in your default machine pool to meet the deployment needs.

   2. Set the minimum and maximum node count limits for autoscaling. The cluster autoscaler does not reduce or increase the default machine pool node count beyond the limits that you specify.

      • If you deployed your cluster using a single availability zone, set the Minimum node count and Maximum node count. This defines the minimum and maximum compute node limits in the availability zone.
      • If you deployed your cluster using multiple availability zones, set the Minimum nodes per zone and Maximum nodes per zone. This defines the minimum and maximum compute node limits per zone.
      Note

      Alternatively, you can set your autoscaling preferences for the default machine pool after the machine pool is created.

8. If you did not enable autoscaling, select a compute node count for your default machine pool:

   • If you deployed your cluster using a single availability zone, select a Compute node count from the drop-down menu. This defines the number of compute nodes to provision to the machine pool for the zone.
   • If you deployed your cluster using multiple availability zones, select a Compute node count (per zone) from the drop-down menu. This defines the number of compute nodes to provision to the machine pool per zone.

9. Optional: Select an EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) configuration - optional (default) or required - to enforce use of IMDSv2. For more information regarding IMDS, see Instance metadata and user data in the AWS documentation.

   Important

   The Instance Metadata Service settings cannot be changed after your cluster is created.

10. Optional: Expand Edit node labels to add labels to your nodes. Click Add label to add more node labels and select Next.

11. In the Cluster privacy section of the Network configuration page, select Public or Private to use either public or private API endpoints and application routes for your cluster.

    Important

    The API endpoint cannot be changed between public and private after your cluster is created.

    Public API endpoint

    Select Public if you do not want to restrict access to your cluster. You can access the Kubernetes API endpoint and application routes from the internet.

    Private API endpoint

    Select Private if you want to restrict network access to your cluster. The Kubernetes API endpoint and application routes are accessible from direct private connections only.

    Important

    If you are using private API endpoints, you cannot access your cluster until you update the network settings in your cloud provider account.

12. Optional: If you opted to use public API endpoints, by default a new VPC is created for your cluster. If you want to install your cluster in an existing VPC instead, select Install into an existing VPC.

    Warning

    You cannot install a ROSA cluster into an existing VPC that was created by the OpenShift installer. These VPCs are created during the cluster deployment process and must only be associated with a single cluster to ensure that cluster provisioning and deletion operations work correctly.

    To verify whether a VPC was created by the OpenShift installer, check for the owned value on the kubernetes.io/cluster/<infra-id> tag. For example, when viewing the tags for the VPC named mycluster-12abc-34def, the kubernetes.io/cluster/mycluster-12abc-34def tag has a value of owned. Therefore, the VPC was created by the installer and must not be modified by the administrator.

    Note

    If you opted to use private API endpoints, you must use an existing VPC and PrivateLink and the Install into an existing VPC and Use a PrivateLink options are automatically selected. With these options, the Red Hat Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team can connect to the cluster to assist with support by using only AWS PrivateLink endpoints.

13. Optional: If you are installing your cluster into an existing VPC, select Configure a cluster-wide proxy to enable an HTTP or HTTPS proxy to deny direct access to the internet from your cluster.
14. Click Next.

15. If you opted to install the cluster in an existing AWS VPC, provide your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnet settings.

    Note

    You must ensure that your VPC is configured with a public and a private subnet for each availability zone that you want the cluster installed into. If you opted to use PrivateLink, only private subnets are required.

    1. Optional: Expand Additional security groups and select additional custom security groups to apply to nodes in the machine pools created by default. You must have already created the security groups and associated them with the VPC you selected for this cluster. You cannot add or edit security groups to the default machine pools after you create the cluster.

       By default, the security groups you specify will be added for all node types. Uncheck the Apply the same security groups to all node types (control plane, infrastructure and worker) checkbox to select different security groups for each node type.

       For more information, see the requirements for Security groups under Additional resources.

16. If you opted to configure a cluster-wide proxy, provide your proxy configuration details on the Cluster-wide proxy page:

    1. Enter a value in at least one of the following fields:

       • Specify a valid HTTP proxy URL.
       • Specify a valid HTTPS proxy URL.
       • In the Additional trust bundle field, provide a PEM encoded X.509 certificate bundle. The bundle is added to the trusted certificate store for the cluster nodes. An additional trust bundle file is required if you use a TLS-inspecting proxy unless the identity certificate for the proxy is signed by an authority from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle. This requirement applies regardless of whether the proxy is transparent or requires explicit configuration using the http-proxy and https-proxy arguments.

    2. Click Next.

       For more information about configuring a proxy with Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture, see Configuring a cluster-wide proxy.

17. In the CIDR ranges dialog, configure custom classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) ranges or use the defaults that are provided and click Next.

    Note

    If you are installing into a VPC, the Machine CIDR range must match the VPC subnets.

    Important

    CIDR configurations cannot be changed later. Confirm your selections with your network administrator before proceeding.

18. Under the Cluster roles and policies page, select your preferred cluster-specific Operator IAM role and OIDC provider creation mode.

    With Manual mode, you can use either the rosa CLI commands or the aws CLI commands to generate the required Operator roles and OIDC provider for your cluster. Manual mode enables you to review the details before using your preferred option to create the IAM resources manually and complete your cluster installation.

    Alternatively, you can use Auto mode to automatically create the Operator roles and OIDC provider. To enable Auto mode, the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role must have administrator capabilities.

    Note

    If you specified custom ARN paths when you created the associated account-wide roles, the custom path is automatically detected and applied to the Operator roles. The custom ARN path is applied when the Operator roles are created by using either Manual or Auto mode.

19. Optional: Specify a Custom operator roles prefix for your cluster-specific Operator IAM roles.

    Note

    By default, the cluster-specific Operator role names are prefixed with the cluster name and random 4-digit hash. You can optionally specify a custom prefix to replace <cluster_name>-<hash> in the role names. The prefix is applied when you create the cluster-specific Operator IAM roles. For information about the prefix, see About custom Operator IAM role prefixes.

20. Select Next.

21. On the Cluster update strategy page, configure your update preferences:

    1. Choose a cluster update method:

       • Select Individual updates if you want to schedule each update individually. This is the default option.

       • Select Recurring updates to update your cluster on your preferred day and start time, when updates are available.

         Important

         Even when you opt for recurring updates, you must update the account-wide and cluster-specific IAM resources before you upgrade your cluster between minor releases.

         Note

         You can review the end-of-life dates in the update life cycle documentation for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture. For more information, see Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture update life cycle.

    2. If you opted for recurring updates, select a preferred day of the week and upgrade start time in UTC from the drop-down menus.
    3. Optional: You can set a grace period for Node draining during cluster upgrades. A 1 hour grace period is set by default.

    4. Click Next.

       Note

       If there are critical security concerns that significantly impact the security or stability of a cluster, Red Hat Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) might schedule automatic updates to the latest z-stream version that is not impacted. The updates are applied within 48 hours after customer notifications are provided. For a description of the critical impact security rating, see Understanding Red Hat security ratings.

22. Review the summary of your selections and click Create cluster to start the cluster installation.

23. If you opted to use Manual mode, create the cluster-specific Operator roles and OIDC provider manually to continue the installation:

    1. In the Action required to continue installation dialog, select either the AWS CLI or the ROSA CLI tab and manually create the resources:

       • If you opted to use the AWS CLI method, click Download .zip, save the file, and then extract the AWS CLI command and policy files. Then, run the provided aws commands in the CLI.

         Note

         You must run the aws commands in the directory that contains the policy files.

       • If you opted to use the ROSA CLI method, click the copy button next to the rosa create commands and run them in the CLI.

         Note

         If you specified custom ARN paths when you created the associated account-wide roles, the custom path is automatically detected and applied to the Operator roles when you create them by using these manual methods.

    2. In the Action required to continue installation dialog, click x to return to the Overview page for your cluster.
    3. Verify that the cluster Status in the Details section of the Overview page for your cluster has changed from Waiting to Installing. There might be a short delay of approximately two minutes before the status changes.
    Note

    If you opted to use Auto mode, OpenShift Cluster Manager creates the Operator roles and the OIDC provider automatically.

    Important

    The EBS Operator role is required in addition to the account roles to successfully create your cluster.

    This role must be attached with the ManagedOpenShift-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials policy, an IAM policy required by ROSA to manage back-end storage through the Container Storage Interface (CSI).

    For more information about the policies and permissions that the cluster Operators require, see Methods of account-wide role creation.

    Example EBS Operator role

    "arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/<cluster_name>-xxxx-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credent"

    After you create your Operator roles, you must edit the Key Policy in the Key Management Service (KMS) page of the AWS Console to add the roles.

Procedure

1. Create the required account-wide roles and policies, including the Operator policies:

   1. Generate the IAM policy JSON files in the current working directory and output the aws CLI commands for review:

      $ rosa create account-roles --interactive \ 

      1

      
                                  --mode manual 

      2

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      interactive mode enables you to specify configuration options at the interactive prompts. For more information, see Interactive cluster creation mode reference.

      2

      manual mode generates the aws CLI commands and JSON files needed to create the account-wide roles and policies. After review, you must run the commands manually to create the resources.

      rosa create cluster --sts

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Specify the prefix to include in the OpenShift Cluster Manager IAM role name. The default is ManagedOpenShift.

      Important

      You must specify an account-wide role prefix that is unique across your AWS account, even if you use a custom ARN path for your account roles.

      2

      Optional: Specifies a permissions boundary Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role. For more information, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the AWS documentation.

      3

      Specify a custom ARN path for your account-wide roles. The path must contain alphanumeric characters only and start and end with /, for example /test/path/dev/. For more information, see ARN path customization for IAM roles and policies.

      4

      Select the role creation mode. You can use auto mode to automatically create the account wide roles and policies. In manual mode, the rosa CLI generates the aws commands needed to create the roles and policies. In manual mode, the corresponding policy JSON files are also saved to the current directory. manual mode enables you to review the details before running the aws commands manually.

      5 6 7 8

      Creates the account-wide installer, control plane, worker and support roles and corresponding IAM policies. For more information, see Account-wide IAM role and policy reference.

      Note

      In this step, the ROSA CLI also automatically creates the account-wide Operator IAM policies that are used by the cluster-specific Operator policies to permit the ROSA cluster Operators to run core OpenShift functionality. For more information, see Account-wide IAM role and policy reference.

      1. After review, run the aws commands manually to create the roles and policies. Alternatively, you can run the preceding command using --mode auto to run the aws commands immediately.

2. Optional: If you are using your own AWS KMS key to encrypt the control plane, infrastructure, worker node root volumes, and persistent volumes (PVs), add the ARN for the account-wide installer role to your KMS key policy.

   Important

   Only persistent volumes (PVs) created from the default storage class are encrypted with this specific key.

   PVs created by using any other storage class are still encrypted, but the PVs are not encrypted with this key unless the storage class is specifically configured to use this key.

   1. Save the key policy for your KMS key to a file on your local machine. The following example saves the output to kms-key-policy.json in the current working directory:

      $ aws kms get-key-policy --key-id <key_id_or_arn> --policy-name default --output text > kms-key-policy.json 

      1

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      1

      Replace <key_id_or_arn> with the ID or ARN of your KMS key.

   2. Add the ARN for the account-wide installer role that you created in the preceding step to the Statement.Principal.AWS section in the file. In the following example, the ARN for the default ManagedOpenShift-Installer-Role role is added:

      {
          "Version": "2012-10-17",
          "Id": "key-rosa-policy-1",

      Replace <key_id_or_arn> with the ID or ARN of your KMS key.

      2

      You must include the file:// prefix when referencing a key policy in a local file.

      You can reference the ARN of your KMS key when you create the cluster in the next step.

3. Create a cluster with STS using custom installation options. You can use the --interactive mode to interactively specify custom settings:

   Warning

   You cannot install a ROSA cluster into an existing VPC that was created by the OpenShift installer. These VPCs are created during the cluster deployment process and must only be associated with a single cluster to ensure that cluster provisioning and deletion operations work correctly.

   To verify whether a VPC was created by the OpenShift installer, check for the owned value on the kubernetes.io/cluster/<infra-id> tag. For example, when viewing the tags for the VPC named mycluster-12abc-34def, the kubernetes.io/cluster/mycluster-12abc-34def tag has a value of owned. Therefore, the VPC was created by the installer and must not be modified by the administrator.

   $ rosa create cluster --interactive --sts

   1

   Optional. When creating your cluster, you can customize the subdomain for your cluster on *.openshiftapps.com using the --domain-prefix flag. The value for this flag must be unique within your organization, cannot be longer than 15 characters, and cannot be changed after cluster creation. If the flag is not supplied, an autogenerated value is created that depends on the length of the cluster name. If the cluster name is fewer than or equal to 15 characters, that name is used for the domain prefix. If the cluster name is longer than 15 characters, the domain prefix is randomly generated to a 15 character string.

   2

   When creating your cluster, you can create a local administrator user (cluster-admin) for your cluster. This automatically configures an htpasswd identity provider for the cluster-admin user.

   3

   You can create a custom password for the cluster-admin user, or have the system generate a password. If you do not create a custom password, the generated password is displayed in the command-line output. If you specify a custom password, the password must be at least 14 characters (ASCII-standard) without any whitespace. When defined, the password is hashed and transported securely.

   4

   When creating the cluster, the listed OpenShift version options include the major, minor, and patch versions, for example 4.20.0.

   5

   Optional: Specify optional to configure all EC2 instances to use both v1 and v2 endpoints of EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS). This is the default value. Specify required to configure all EC2 instances to use IMDSv2 only.

   Important

   The Instance Metadata Service settings cannot be changed after your cluster is created.

   6

   If you have more than one set of account roles for your cluster version in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, an interactive list of options is provided.

   7

   Optional: Specify an unique identifier that is passed by Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture and the OpenShift installer when an account role is assumed. This option is only required for custom account roles that expect an external ID.

   8

   By default, the cluster-specific Operator role names are prefixed with the cluster name and a random 4-digit hash. You can optionally specify a custom prefix to replace <cluster_name>-<hash> in the role names. The prefix is applied when you create the cluster-specific Operator IAM roles. For information about the prefix, see About custom Operator IAM role prefixes.

   Note

   If you specified custom ARN paths when you created the associated account-wide roles, the custom path is automatically detected. The custom path is applied to the cluster-specific Operator roles when you create them in a later step.

   9

   Optional: Specify a tag that is used on all resources created by Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture in AWS. Tags can help you manage, identify, organize, search for, and filter resources within AWS. Tags are comma separated, for example: key value, data input.

   Important

   Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture only supports custom tags to Red Hat OpenShift resources during cluster creation. Once added, the tags cannot be removed or edited. Tags that are added by Red Hat are required for clusters to stay in compliance with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs). These tags must not be removed.

   Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS classic architecture does not support adding additional tags outside of ROSA cluster-managed resources. These tags can be lost when AWS resources are managed by the ROSA cluster. In these cases, you might need custom solutions or tools to reconcile the tags and keep them intact.

   10

   Optional: Multiple availability zones are recommended for production workloads. The default is a single availability zone.

   11

   Optional: You can create a cluster in an existing VPC, or ROSA can create a new VPC to use.

   Warning

   You cannot install a ROSA cluster into an existing VPC that was created by the OpenShift installer. These VPCs are created during the cluster deployment process and must only be associated with a single cluster to ensure that cluster provisioning and deletion operations work correctly.

   To verify whether a VPC was created by the OpenShift installer, check for the owned value on the kubernetes.io/cluster/<infra-id> tag. For example, when viewing the tags for the VPC named mycluster-12abc-34def, the kubernetes.io/cluster/mycluster-12abc-34def tag has a value of owned. Therefore, the VPC was created by the installer and must not be modified by the administrator.

   12

   Optional: Enable this option if you are using your own AWS KMS key to encrypt the control plane, infrastructure, worker node root volumes, and PVs. Specify the ARN for the KMS key that you added to the account-wide role ARN in the preceding step.

   Important

   Only persistent volumes (PVs) created from the default storage class are encrypted with this specific key.

   PVs created by using any other storage class are still encrypted, but the PVs are not encrypted with this key unless the storage class is specifically configured to use this key.

   13

   Optional: You can select additional custom security groups to use in your cluster. You must have already created the security groups and associated them with the VPC you selected for this cluster. You cannot add or edit security groups for the default machine pools after you create the machine pool. For more information, see the requirements for Security groups under Additional resources.

   14

   Optional: Enable this option if you require your cluster to be FIPS validated. Selecting this option means the encrypt etcd data option is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. You can encrypt etcd data without enabling FIPS support.

   15

   Optional: Enable this option if your use case only requires etcd key value encryption in addition to the control plane storage encryption that encrypts the etcd volumes by default. With this option, the etcd key values are encrypted but not the keys.

   Important

   By enabling etcd encryption for the key values in etcd, you will incur a performance overhead of approximately 20%. The overhead is a result of introducing this second layer of encryption, in addition to the default control plane storage encryption that encrypts the etcd volumes. Red Hat recommends that you enable etcd encryption only if you specifically require it for your use case.

   The output includes a custom command that you can run to create another cluster with the same configuration.

   As an alternative to using the --interactive mode, you can specify the customization options directly when you run the rosa create cluster command. Run the rosa create cluster --help command to view a list of available CLI options, or see create cluster in Managing objects with the ROSA CLI.

   Important

   You must complete the following steps to create the Operator IAM roles and the OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider to move the state of the cluster to ready.

4. Create the cluster-specific Operator IAM roles:

   1. Generate the Operator IAM policy JSON files in the current working directory and output the aws CLI commands for review:

      $ rosa create operator-roles --mode manual --cluster <cluster_name|cluster_id> 

      1

      1

      manual mode generates the aws CLI commands and JSON files needed to create the Operator roles. After review, you must run the commands manually to create the resources.

   2. After review, run the aws commands manually to create the Operator IAM roles and attach the managed Operator policies to them. Alternatively, you can run the preceding command again using --mode auto to run the aws commands immediately.

      Note

      A custom prefix is applied to the Operator role names if you specified the prefix in the preceding step.

      If you specified custom ARN paths when you created the associated account-wide roles, the custom path is automatically detected and applied to the Operator roles.

      Important

      The EBS Operator role is required in addition to the account roles to successfully create your cluster.

      This role must be attached with the ManagedOpenShift-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials policy, an IAM policy required by ROSA to manage back-end storage through the Container Storage Interface (CSI).

      For more information about the policies and permissions that the cluster Operators require, see Methods of account-wide role creation. .Example EBS Operator role "arn:aws:iam::<aws_account_id>:role/<cluster_name>-xxxx-openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credent"

      After you create your Operator roles, you must edit the Key Policy in the Key Management Service (KMS) page of the AWS Console to add the roles.

5. Create the OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider that the cluster Operators use to authenticate:

   $ rosa create oidc-provider --mode auto --cluster <cluster_name|cluster_id>

   auto mode immediately runs the aws CLI command that creates the OIDC provider.

6. Check the status of your cluster:

   $ rosa describe cluster --cluster <cluster_name|cluster_id>

   1. The endpoint URL depends on the BYO OIDC configuration. If you are pre-creating the OIDC configuration, the URL ends with the <oidc_config_id> value; otherwise, the URL ends with the <cluster-ID> value.

   The following State field changes are listed in the output as the cluster installation progresses:

   • waiting (Waiting for OIDC configuration)
   • pending (Preparing account)
   • installing (DNS setup in progress)
   • installing

   • ready

     Note

     If the installation fails or the State field does not change to ready after about 40 minutes, check the installation troubleshooting documentation for details. For more information, see Troubleshooting installations. For steps to contact Red Hat Support for assistance, see Getting support for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS.

7. Track the progress of the cluster creation by watching the OpenShift installer logs:

   $ rosa logs install --cluster <cluster_name|cluster_id> --watch
