Chapter 4. User-provisioned infrastructure

4.1. Preparing to install a cluster on AWS

You prepare to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on AWS by completing the following steps:

Verifying internet connectivity for your cluster.
Configuring an AWS account.
Downloading the installation program.
Note
If you are installing in a disconnected environment, you extract the installation program from the mirrored content. For more information, see Mirroring images for a disconnected installation.
Installing the OpenShift CLI (oc).
Note
If you are installing in a disconnected environment, install oc to the mirror host.
Generating an SSH key pair. You can use this key pair to authenticate into the OpenShift Container Platform cluster’s nodes after it is deployed.
Preparing the user-provisioned infrastructure.
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system namespace, manually creating long-term credentials for AWS or configuring an AWS cluster to use short-term credentials with Amazon Web Services Security Token Service (AWS STS).

4.1.1. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.17, you require access to the internet to install your cluster.

You must have internet access to:

Access OpenShift Cluster Manager to download the installation program and perform subscription management. If the cluster has internet access and you do not disable Telemetry, that service automatically entitles your cluster.
Access Quay.io to obtain the packages that are required to install your cluster.
Obtain the packages that are required to perform cluster updates.

Important

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 required content and use it to populate a mirror registry with the installation packages. 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.

4.1.2. Obtaining the installation program

Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on the host you are using for installation.

Prerequisites

You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with at least 1.2 GB of local disk space.

Procedure

Go to the Cluster Type page on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
Select your infrastructure provider from the Run it yourself section of the page.
Select your host operating system and architecture from the dropdown menus under OpenShift Installer and click Download Installer.
Place the downloaded file in the directory where you want to store the installation configuration files.
Important
- The installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster. Both of the files are required to delete the cluster.
- Deleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. To remove your cluster, complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures for your specific cloud provider.
Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
```
$ tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz
```
Download your installation pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager. 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.

Tip

Alternatively, you can retrieve the installation program from the Red Hat Customer Portal, where you can specify a version of the installation program to download. However, you must have an active subscription to access this page.

4.1.3. Installing the OpenShift CLI

You can install the OpenShift CLI (oc) to interact with OpenShift Container Platform from a command-line interface. You can install oc on Linux, Windows, or macOS.

Important

If you installed an earlier version of oc, you cannot use it to complete all of the commands in OpenShift Container Platform 4.17. Download and install the new version of oc.

Installing the OpenShift CLI on Linux

You can install the OpenShift CLI (oc) binary on Linux by using the following procedure.

Procedure

Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Select the architecture from the Product Variant drop-down list.
Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list.
Click Download Now next to the OpenShift v4.17 Linux Clients entry and save the file.
Unpack the archive:
```
$ tar xvf <file>
```
Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH.
To check your PATH, execute the following command:
```
$ echo $PATH
```

Verification

After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command:
```
$ oc <command>
```

Installing the OpenShift CLI on Windows

You can install the OpenShift CLI (oc) binary on Windows by using the following procedure.

Procedure

Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list.
Click Download Now next to the OpenShift v4.17 Windows Client entry and save the file.
Unzip the archive with a ZIP program.
Move the oc binary to a directory that is on your PATH.
To check your PATH, open the command prompt and execute the following command:
```
C:\> path
```

Verification

After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command:
```
C:\> oc <command>
```

Installing the OpenShift CLI on macOS

You can install the OpenShift CLI (oc) binary on macOS by using the following procedure.

Procedure

Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list.
Click Download Now next to the OpenShift v4.17 macOS Clients entry and save the file.
Note
For macOS arm64, choose the OpenShift v4.17 macOS arm64 Client entry.
Unpack and unzip the archive.
Move the oc binary to a directory on your PATH.
To check your PATH, open a terminal and execute the following command:
```
$ echo $PATH
```

Verification

Verify your installation by using an oc command:
```
$ oc <command>
```

4.1.4. Generating a key pair for cluster node SSH access

During an OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can provide an SSH public key to the installation program. The key is passed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) nodes through their Ignition config files and is used to authenticate SSH access to the nodes. The key is added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys list for the core user on each node, which enables password-less authentication.

After the key is passed to the nodes, you can use the key pair to SSH in to the RHCOS nodes as the user core. To access the nodes through SSH, the private key identity must be managed by SSH for your local user.

If you want to SSH in to your cluster nodes to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide the SSH public key during the installation process. The ./openshift-install gather command also requires the SSH public key to be in place on the cluster nodes.

Important

Do not skip this procedure in production environments, where disaster recovery and debugging is required.

Note

You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs.

Procedure

If you do not have an existing SSH key pair on your local machine to use for authentication onto your cluster nodes, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
```
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path>/<file_name> 1
```
1
Specify the path and file name, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your ~/.ssh directory.
Note
If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses the RHEL cryptographic libraries that have been submitted to NIST for FIPS 140-2/140-3 Validation on only the x86_64, ppc64le, and s390x architectures, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm.
View the public SSH key:
```
$ cat <path>/<file_name>.pub
```
For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key:
```
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
```
Add the SSH private key identity to the SSH agent for your local user, if it has not already been added. SSH agent management of the key is required for password-less SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes, or if you want to use the ./openshift-install gather command.
Note
On some distributions, default SSH private key identities such as ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa are managed automatically.
1. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task:
```
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
```
  Example output
```
Agent pid 31874
```
  Note
  If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA.
Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent:
```
$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1
```
1
Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Example output
```
Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
```

Next steps

When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.

4.1.5. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.17, the Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, requires internet access. If your cluster is connected to the internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to OpenShift Cluster Manager.

After you confirm that your OpenShift Cluster Manager inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually by using OpenShift Cluster Manager, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level.

Additional resources

See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service.

4.2. Installation requirements for user-provisioned infrastructure on AWS

Before you begin an installation on infrastructure that you provision, be sure that your AWS environment meets the following installation requirements.

For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines.

4.2.1. Required machines for cluster installation

The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts:

Table 4.1. Minimum required hosts
Hosts	Description
One temporary bootstrap machine	The cluster requires the bootstrap machine to deploy the OpenShift Container Platform cluster on the three control plane machines. You can remove the bootstrap machine after you install the cluster.
Three control plane machines	The control plane machines run the Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform services that form the control plane.
At least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines.	The workloads requested by OpenShift Container Platform users run on the compute machines.

Important

To maintain high availability of your cluster, use separate physical hosts for these cluster machines.

The bootstrap and control plane machines must use Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) as the operating system. However, the compute machines can choose between Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.6 and later.

Note that RHCOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.2 and inherits all of its hardware certifications and requirements. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux technology capabilities and limits.

4.2.1.1. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation

Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements:

Table 4.2. Minimum resource requirements
Machine	Operating System	vCPU ^[1]	Virtual RAM	Storage	Input/Output Per Second (IOPS)^[2]
Bootstrap	RHCOS	4	16 GB	100 GB	300
Control plane	RHCOS	4	16 GB	100 GB	300
Compute	RHCOS, RHEL 8.6 and later ^[3]	2	8 GB	100 GB	300

One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or Hyper-Threading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core × cores) × sockets = vCPUs.
OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes are sensitive to disk performance, and faster storage is recommended, particularly for etcd on the control plane nodes which require a 10 ms p99 fsync duration. Note that on many cloud platforms, storage size and IOPS scale together, so you might need to over-allocate storage volume to obtain sufficient performance.
As with all user-provisioned installations, if you choose to use RHEL compute machines in your cluster, you take responsibility for all operating system life cycle management and maintenance, including performing system updates, applying patches, and completing all other required tasks. Use of RHEL 7 compute machines is deprecated and has been removed in OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and later.

Note

As of OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13, RHCOS is based on RHEL version 9.2, which updates the micro-architecture requirements. The following list contains the minimum instruction set architectures (ISA) that each architecture requires:

x86-64 architecture requires x86-64-v2 ISA
ARM64 architecture requires ARMv8.0-A ISA
IBM Power architecture requires Power 9 ISA
s390x architecture requires z14 ISA

For more information, see RHEL Architectures.

If an instance type for your platform meets the minimum requirements for cluster machines, it is supported to use in OpenShift Container Platform.

4.2.1.2. Tested instance types for AWS

The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types have been tested with OpenShift Container Platform.

Note

Use the machine types included in the following charts for your AWS instances. If you use an instance type that is not listed in the chart, ensure that the instance size you use matches the minimum resource requirements that are listed in the section named "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation".

Example 4.1. Machine types based on 64-bit x86 architecture

m4.*
m5.*
m5a.*
m6a.*
m6i.*
r4.*
r5.*
r5a.*

t3.*
t3a.*

4.2.1.3. Tested instance types for AWS on 64-bit ARM infrastructures

The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) 64-bit ARM instance types have been tested with OpenShift Container Platform.

Note

Use the machine types included in the following charts for your AWS ARM instances. If you use an instance type that is not listed in the chart, ensure that the instance size you use matches the minimum resource requirements that are listed in "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation".

Example 4.2. Machine types based on 64-bit ARM architecture

c6g.*
c7g.*
m6g.*
m7g.*
r8g.*

4.2.2. Certificate signing requests management

Because your cluster has limited access to automatic machine management when you use infrastructure that you provision, you must provide a mechanism for approving cluster certificate signing requests (CSRs) after installation. The kube-controller-manager only approves the kubelet client CSRs. The machine-approver cannot guarantee the validity of a serving certificate that is requested by using kubelet credentials because it cannot confirm that the correct machine issued the request. You must determine and implement a method of verifying the validity of the kubelet serving certificate requests and approving them.

4.2.3. Required AWS infrastructure components

To install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must manually create both the machines and their supporting infrastructure.

For more information about the integration testing for different platforms, see the OpenShift Container Platform 4.x Tested Integrations page.

By using the provided CloudFormation templates, you can create stacks of AWS resources that represent the following components:

An AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Networking and load balancing components
Security groups and roles
An OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap node
OpenShift Container Platform control plane nodes
An OpenShift Container Platform compute node

Alternatively, you can manually create the components or you can reuse existing infrastructure that meets the cluster requirements. Review the CloudFormation templates for more details about how the components interrelate.

4.2.3.1. Other infrastructure components

A VPC
DNS entries
Load balancers (classic or network) and listeners
A public and a private Route 53 zone
Security groups
IAM roles
S3 buckets

If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2, ELB, and S3 endpoints. Depending on the level to which you want to restrict internet traffic during the installation, the following configuration options are available:

Option 1: Create VPC endpoints

Create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnets that the clusters are using. Name the endpoints as follows:

ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com

With this option, network traffic remains private between your VPC and the required AWS services.

Option 2: Create a proxy without VPC endpoints

As part of the installation process, you can configure an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. With this option, internet traffic goes through the proxy to reach the required AWS services.

Option 3: Create a proxy with VPC endpoints

As part of the installation process, you can configure an HTTP or HTTPS proxy with VPC endpoints. Create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnets that the clusters are using. Name the endpoints as follows:

ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com
s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com

When configuring the proxy in the install-config.yaml file, add these endpoints to the noProxy field. With this option, the proxy prevents the cluster from accessing the internet directly. However, network traffic remains private between your VPC and the required AWS services.

Required VPC components

You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines.

Component	AWS type	Description
VPC	`AWS::EC2::VPC` `AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint`	You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3.
Public subnets	`AWS::EC2::Subnet` `AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation`	Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules.
Internet gateway	`AWS::EC2::InternetGateway` `AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment` `AWS::EC2::RouteTable` `AWS::EC2::Route` `AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation` `AWS::EC2::NatGateway` `AWS::EC2::EIP`	You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios.
Network access control	`AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl` `AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry`	You must allow the VPC to access the following ports:
		Port	Reason
		`80`	Inbound HTTP traffic
		`443`	Inbound HTTPS traffic
		`22`	Inbound SSH traffic
		`1024` - `65535`	Inbound ephemeral traffic
		`0` - `65535`	Outbound ephemeral traffic
Private subnets	`AWS::EC2::Subnet` `AWS::EC2::RouteTable` `AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation`	Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them.

Required DNS and load balancing components

Your DNS and load balancer configuration needs to use a public hosted zone and can use a private hosted zone similar to the one that the installation program uses if it provisions the cluster’s infrastructure. You must create a DNS entry that resolves to your load balancer. An entry for api.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the external load balancer, and an entry for api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the internal load balancer.

The cluster also requires load balancers and listeners for port 6443, which are required for the Kubernetes API and its extensions, and port 22623, which are required for the Ignition config files for new machines. The targets will be the control plane nodes. Port 6443 must be accessible to both clients external to the cluster and nodes within the cluster. Port 22623 must be accessible to nodes within the cluster.

Component	AWS type	Description
DNS	`AWS::Route53::HostedZone`	The hosted zone for your internal DNS.
Public load balancer	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer`	The load balancer for your public subnets.
External API server record	`AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup`	Alias records for the external API server.
External listener	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener`	A listener on port 6443 for the external load balancer.
External target group	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup`	The target group for the external load balancer.
Private load balancer	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer`	The load balancer for your private subnets.
Internal API server record	`AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup`	Alias records for the internal API server.
Internal listener	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener`	A listener on port 22623 for the internal load balancer.
Internal target group	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup`	The target group for the internal load balancer.
Internal listener	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener`	A listener on port 6443 for the internal load balancer.
Internal target group	`AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup`	The target group for the internal load balancer.

Security groups

The control plane and worker machines require access to the following ports:

Group	Type	IP Protocol	Port range
`MasterSecurityGroup`	`AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup`	`icmp`	`0`
		`tcp`	`22`

Roles and instance profiles

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

Role	Effect	Action	Resource
Master	`Allow`	`ec2:*`	`*`
	`Allow`	`elasticloadbalancing:*`	`*`
	`Allow`	`iam:PassRole`	`*`
	`Allow`	`s3:GetObject`	`*`
Worker	`Allow`	`ec2:Describe*`	`*`
Bootstrap	`Allow`	`ec2:Describe*`	`*`
	`Allow`	`ec2:AttachVolume`	`*`
	`Allow`	`ec2:DetachVolume`	`*`

4.2.3.2. Cluster machines

You need AWS::EC2::Instance objects for the following machines:

A bootstrap machine. This machine is required during installation, but you can remove it after your cluster deploys.
Three control plane machines. The control plane machines are not governed by a control plane machine set.
Compute machines. You must create at least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, during installation. These machines are not governed by a compute machine set.

4.2.4. Required AWS permissions for the IAM user

Note

Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources in the region us-east-1 to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region.

When you attach the AdministratorAccess policy to the IAM user that you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you grant that user all of the required permissions. To deploy all components of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the IAM user requires the following permissions:

Important

OpenShift Container Platform uses both the ELB and ELBv2 API services to provision load balancers. The permission list shows permissions required by both services. A known issue exists in the AWS web console where both services use the same elasticloadbalancing action prefix but do not recognize the same actions. You can ignore the warnings about the service not recognizing certain elasticloadbalancing actions.

Example 4.6. Required IAM permissions for installation

iam:AddRoleToInstanceProfile

4.2.5. Obtaining an AWS Marketplace image

If you are deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image, you must first subscribe through AWS. Subscribing to the offer provides you with the AMI ID that the installation program uses to deploy compute nodes.

Prerequisites

You have an AWS account to purchase the offer. This account does not have to be the same account that is used to install the cluster.

Procedure

Complete the OpenShift Container Platform subscription from the AWS Marketplace.

4.3. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS by using CloudFormation templates

In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.17, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provide.

One way to create this infrastructure is to use the provided CloudFormation templates. You can modify the templates to customize your infrastructure or use the information that they contain to create AWS objects according to your company’s policies.

Important

The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of OpenShift Container Platform. Several CloudFormation templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example.

4.3.1. Prerequisites

You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
You configured an AWS account to host the cluster.
Important
If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-term credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program.
You prepared the user-provisioned infrastructure.
You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or UNIX) in the AWS documentation.
If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
Note
Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system namespace, you can manually create and maintain long-term credentials.

4.3.2. Creating the installation files for AWS

To install OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must generate the files that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster and modify them so that the cluster creates only the machines that it will use. You generate and customize the install-config.yaml file, Kubernetes manifests, and Ignition config files. You also have the option to first set up a separate var partition during the preparation phases of installation.

4.3.2.1. Optional: Creating a separate `/var` partition

It is recommended that disk partitioning for OpenShift Container Platform be left to the installer. However, there are cases where you might want to create separate partitions in a part of the filesystem that you expect to grow.

OpenShift Container Platform supports the addition of a single partition to attach storage to either the /var partition or a subdirectory of /var. For example:

/var/lib/containers: Holds container-related content that can grow as more images and containers are added to a system.
/var/lib/etcd: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as performance optimization of etcd storage.
/var: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as auditing.

Storing the contents of a /var directory separately makes it easier to grow storage for those areas as needed and reinstall OpenShift Container Platform at a later date and keep that data intact. With this method, you will not have to pull all your containers again, nor will you have to copy massive log files when you update systems.

Because /var must be in place before a fresh installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS), the following procedure sets up the separate /var partition by creating a machine config manifest that is inserted during the openshift-install preparation phases of an OpenShift Container Platform installation.

Important

If you follow the steps to create a separate /var partition in this procedure, it is not necessary to create the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files again as described later in this section.

Procedure

Create a directory to hold the OpenShift Container Platform installation files:
```
$ mkdir $HOME/clusterconfig
```

Run openshift-install to create a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted:

$ openshift-install create manifests --dir $HOME/clusterconfig

Example output

? SSH Public Key ...
INFO Credentials loaded from the "myprofile" profile in file "/home/myuser/.aws/credentials"
INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory
INFO Manifests created in: $HOME/clusterconfig/manifests and $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift

Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the clusterconfig/openshift directory:

$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/

Example output

99_kubeadmin-password-secret.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-0.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-1.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-2.yaml
...

Create a Butane config that configures the additional partition. For example, name the file $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu, change the disk device name to the name of the storage device on the worker systems, and set the storage size as appropriate. This example places the /var directory on a separate partition:
```
variant: openshift
version: 4.17.0
metadata:
  labels:
    machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
  name: 98-var-partition
storage:
  disks:
  - device: /dev/disk/by-id/<device_name> 1
    partitions:
    - label: var
      start_mib: <partition_start_offset> 2
      size_mib: <partition_size> 3
      number: 5
  filesystems:
    - device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var
      path: /var
      format: xfs
      mount_options: [defaults, prjquota] 4
      with_mount_unit: true
```
1
The storage device name of the disk that you want to partition.
2
When adding a data partition to the boot disk, a minimum value of 25000 MiB (Mebibytes) is recommended. The root file system is automatically resized to fill all available space up to the specified offset. If no value is specified, or if the specified value is smaller than the recommended minimum, the resulting root file system will be too small, and future reinstalls of RHCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition.
3
The size of the data partition in mebibytes.
4
The prjquota mount option must be enabled for filesystems used for container storage.
Note
When creating a separate /var partition, you cannot use different instance types for worker nodes, if the different instance types do not have the same device name.
Create a manifest from the Butane config and save it to the clusterconfig/openshift directory. For example, run the following command:
```
$ butane $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/98-var-partition.yaml
```

Run openshift-install again to create Ignition configs from a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories:

$ openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir $HOME/clusterconfig
$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/
auth  bootstrap.ign  master.ign  metadata.json  worker.ign

Now you can use the Ignition config files as input to the installation procedures to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) systems.

4.3.2.2. Creating the installation configuration file

Generate and customize the installation configuration file that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster.

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program for user-provisioned infrastructure and the pull secret for your cluster.
You checked that you are deploying your cluster to an AWS Region with an accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI published by Red Hat. If you are deploying to an AWS Region that requires a custom AMI, such as an AWS GovCloud Region, you must create the install-config.yaml file manually.

Procedure

Create the install-config.yaml file.
1. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command:
```
$ ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
  1
  For <installation_directory>, specify the directory name to store the files that the installation program creates.
  Important
  Specify 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.
2. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud:
  1. Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines.
    Note
    For 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.
  2. Select aws as the platform to target.
  3. If you do not have an AWS profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program.
    Note
    The AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in ~/.aws/credentials in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file.
  4. Select the AWS Region to deploy the cluster to.
  5. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured for your cluster.
  6. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster.
  7. Paste the pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.
If you are installing a three-node cluster, modify the install-config.yaml file by setting the compute.replicas parameter to 0. This ensures that the cluster’s control planes are schedulable. For more information, see "Installing a three-node cluster on AWS".
Optional: Back up the install-config.yaml file.
Important
The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.

Additional resources

See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration.

4.3.2.3. Configuring the cluster-wide proxy during installation

Production environments can deny direct access to the internet and instead have an HTTP or HTTPS proxy available. You can configure a new OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use a proxy by configuring the proxy settings in the install-config.yaml file.

Prerequisites

You have an existing install-config.yaml file.
You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the Proxy object’s spec.noProxy field to bypass the proxy if necessary.
Note
The Proxy object status.noProxy field is populated with the values of the networking.machineNetwork[].cidr, networking.clusterNetwork[].cidr, and networking.serviceNetwork[] fields from your installation configuration.
For installations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), the Proxy object status.noProxy field is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254).

Procedure

Edit your install-config.yaml file and add the proxy settings. For example:
```
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: my.domain.com
proxy:
  httpProxy: http://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 1
  httpsProxy: https://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 2
  noProxy: ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com 3
additionalTrustBundle: | 4
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
additionalTrustBundlePolicy: <policy_to_add_additionalTrustBundle> 5
```
1
A proxy URL to use for creating HTTP connections outside the cluster. The URL scheme must be http.
2
A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster.
3
A comma-separated list of destination domain names, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude from proxying. Preface a domain with . to match subdomains only. For example, .y.com matches x.y.com, but not y.com. Use * to bypass the proxy for all destinations. If you have added the Amazon EC2,Elastic Load Balancing, and S3 VPC endpoints to your VPC, you must add these endpoints to the noProxy field.
4
If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges these contents with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in the trustedCA field of the Proxy object. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle.
5
Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the Proxy object to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The allowed values are Proxyonly and Always. Use Proxyonly to reference the user-ca-bundle config map only when http/https proxy is configured. Use Always to always reference the user-ca-bundle config map. The default value is Proxyonly.
Note
The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field.
Note
If the installer times out, restart and then complete the deployment by using the wait-for command of the installer. For example:
```
$ ./openshift-install wait-for install-complete --log-level debug
```
Save the file and reference it when installing OpenShift Container Platform.

The installation program creates a cluster-wide proxy that is named cluster that uses the proxy settings in the provided install-config.yaml file. If no proxy settings are provided, a cluster Proxy object is still created, but it will have a nil spec.

Note

Only the Proxy object named cluster is supported, and no additional proxies can be created.

4.3.2.4. Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files

Because you must modify some cluster definition files and manually start the cluster machines, you must generate the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files that the cluster needs to configure the machines.

The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to configure the cluster machines.

Important

The Ignition config files that the OpenShift Container Platform installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information.
It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
You created the install-config.yaml installation configuration file.

Procedure

Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
```
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the installation directory that contains the install-config.yaml file you created.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines:
```
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml
```
By removing these files, you prevent the cluster from automatically generating control plane machines.

Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machine set:

$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-machine-api_master-control-plane-machine-set.yaml

Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines:
```
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml
```
Important
If you disabled the MachineAPI capability when installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure, you must remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines. Otherwise, your cluster fails to install.
Because you create and manage the worker machines yourself, you do not need to initialize these machines.
Warning
If you are installing a three-node cluster, skip the following step to allow the control plane nodes to be schedulable.
Important
When you configure control plane nodes from the default unschedulable to schedulable, additional subscriptions are required. This is because control plane nodes then become compute nodes.
Check that the mastersSchedulable parameter in the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml Kubernetes manifest file is set to false. This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines:
1. Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file.
2. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false.
3. Save and exit the file.
Optional: If you do not want the Ingress Operator to create DNS records on your behalf, remove the privateZone and publicZone sections from the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-dns-02-config.yml DNS configuration file:
```
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: DNS
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  name: cluster
spec:
  baseDomain: example.openshift.com
  privateZone: 1
    id: mycluster-100419-private-zone
  publicZone: 2
    id: example.openshift.com
status: {}
```
1 2
Remove this section completely.
If you do so, you must add ingress DNS records manually in a later step.
To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program:
```
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the same installation directory.
Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The kubeadmin-password and kubeconfig files are created in the ./<installation_directory>/auth directory:
```
.
├── auth
│   ├── kubeadmin-password
│   └── kubeconfig
├── bootstrap.ign
├── master.ign
├── metadata.json
└── worker.ign
```

4.3.3. Extracting the infrastructure name

The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Amazon Web Services (AWS). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate AWS resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided CloudFormation templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it.

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You installed the jq package.

Procedure

To extract and view the infrastructure name from the Ignition config file metadata, run the following command:
```
$ jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
```
openshift-vw9j6 1
```
1
The output of this command is your cluster name and a random string.

4.3.4. Creating a VPC in AWS

You must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements, including VPN and route tables.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC.

Note

If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 1
    "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "AvailabilityZoneCount", 3
    "ParameterValue": "1" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "SubnetBits", 5
    "ParameterValue": "12" 6
  }
]
```
1
The CIDR block for the VPC.
2
Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24.
3
The number of availability zones to deploy the VPC in.
4
Specify an integer between 1 and 3.
5
The size of each subnet in each availability zone.
6
Specify an integer between 5 and 13, where 5 is /27 and 13 is /19.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-vpc. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-vpc/dbedae40-2fd3-11eb-820e-12a48460849f
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

After the StackStatus displays CREATE_COMPLETE, the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster:

`VpcId`	The ID of your VPC.
`PublicSubnetIds`	The IDs of the new public subnets.
`PrivateSubnetIds`	The IDs of the new private subnets.

4.3.4.1. CloudFormation template for the VPC

You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Additional resources

You can view details about the CloudFormation stacks that you create by navigating to the AWS CloudFormation console.

4.3.5. Creating networking and load balancing components in AWS

You must configure networking and classic or network load balancing in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster can use.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the networking and load balancing components that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires. The template also creates a hosted zone and subnet tags.

You can run the template multiple times within a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.

Procedure

Obtain the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 base domain that you specified in the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. You can obtain details about your hosted zone by running the following command:
```
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name --dns-name <route53_domain> 1
```
1
For the <route53_domain>, specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster.
Example output
```
mycluster.example.com.	False	100
HOSTEDZONES	65F8F38E-2268-B835-E15C-AB55336FCBFA	/hostedzone/Z21IXYZABCZ2A4	mycluster.example.com.	10
```
In the example output, the hosted zone ID is Z21IXYZABCZ2A4.
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "ClusterName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 3
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "HostedZoneId", 5
    "ParameterValue": "<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "HostedZoneName", 7
    "ParameterValue": "example.com" 8
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PublicSubnets", 9
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 10
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PrivateSubnets", 11
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 12
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 13
    "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 14
  }
]
```
1
A short, representative cluster name to use for hostnames, etc.
2
Specify the cluster name that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster.
3
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
4
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
5
The Route 53 public zone ID to register the targets with.
6
Specify the Route 53 public zone ID, which as a format similar to Z21IXYZABCZ2A4. You can obtain this value from the AWS console.
7
The Route 53 zone to register the targets with.
8
Specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster. Do not include the trailing period (.) that is displayed in the AWS console.
9
The public subnets that you created for your VPC.
10
Specify the PublicSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
11
The private subnets that you created for your VPC.
12
Specify the PrivateSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
13
The VPC that you created for the cluster.
14
Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the network and load balancers section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking and load balancing objects that your cluster requires.
Important
If you are deploying your cluster to an AWS government or secret region, you must update the InternalApiServerRecord in the CloudFormation template to use CNAME records. Records of type ALIAS are not supported for AWS government regions.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that provide the networking and load balancing components:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
     --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-dns. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
4
You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role resources.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-dns/cd3e5de0-2fd4-11eb-5cf0-12be5c33a183
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`PrivateHostedZoneId`	Hosted zone ID for the private DNS.
`ExternalApiLoadBalancerName`	Full name of the external API load balancer.
`InternalApiLoadBalancerName`	Full name of the internal API load balancer.
`ApiServerDnsName`	Full hostname of the API server.
`RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambda`	Lambda ARN useful to help register/deregister IP targets for these load balancers.
`ExternalApiTargetGroupArn`	ARN of external API target group.
`InternalApiTargetGroupArn`	ARN of internal API target group.
`InternalServiceTargetGroupArn`	ARN of internal service target group.

4.3.5.1. CloudFormation template for the network and load balancers

You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the networking objects and load balancers that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Important

If you are deploying your cluster to an AWS government or secret region, you must update the InternalApiServerRecord to use CNAME records. Records of type ALIAS are not supported for AWS government regions. For example:

Type: CNAME
TTL: 10
ResourceRecords:
- !GetAtt IntApiElb.DNSName

Additional resources

You can view details about the CloudFormation stacks that you create by navigating to the AWS CloudFormation console.
You can view details about your hosted zones by navigating to the AWS Route 53 console.
See Listing public hosted zones in the AWS documentation for more information about listing public hosted zones.

4.3.6. Creating security group and roles in AWS

You must create security groups and roles in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the security groups and roles that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires.

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 3
    "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PrivateSubnets", 5
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 7
    "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 8
  }
]
```
1
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
2
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
3
The CIDR block for the VPC.
4
Specify the CIDR block parameter that you used for the VPC that you defined in the form x.x.x.x/16-24.
5
The private subnets that you created for your VPC.
6
Specify the PrivateSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
7
The VPC that you created for the cluster.
8
Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for security objects section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the security groups and roles that your cluster requires.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the security groups and roles:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
     --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-sec. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
4
You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role and AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile resources.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-sec/03bd4210-2ed7-11eb-6d7a-13fc0b61e9db
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`MasterSecurityGroupId`	Master Security Group ID
`WorkerSecurityGroupId`	Worker Security Group ID
`MasterInstanceProfile`	Master IAM Instance Profile
`WorkerInstanceProfile`	Worker IAM Instance Profile

4.3.6.1. CloudFormation template for security objects

4.3.7. Accessing RHCOS AMIs with stream metadata

In OpenShift Container Platform, stream metadata provides standardized metadata about RHCOS in the JSON format and injects the metadata into the cluster. Stream metadata is a stable format that supports multiple architectures and is intended to be self-documenting for maintaining automation.

You can use the coreos print-stream-json sub-command of openshift-install to access information about the boot images in the stream metadata format. This command provides a method for printing stream metadata in a scriptable, machine-readable format.

For user-provisioned installations, the openshift-install binary contains references to the version of RHCOS boot images that are tested for use with OpenShift Container Platform, such as the AWS AMI.

Procedure

To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods:

From a Go program, use the official stream-metadata-go library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go. You can also view example code in the library.
From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language.
From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as jq:
- Print the current x86_64 or aarch64 AMI for an AWS region, such as us-west-1:
  For x86_64
```
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
```
  Example output
```
ami-0d3e625f84626bbda
```
  For aarch64
```
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.aarch64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
```
  Example output
```
ami-0af1d3b7fa5be2131
```
  The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for your designated architecture and the us-west-1 region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster.

4.3.8. RHCOS AMIs for the AWS infrastructure

Red Hat provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMIs that are valid for the various AWS regions and instance architectures that you can manually specify for your OpenShift Container Platform nodes.

Note

By importing your own AMI, you can also install to regions that do not have a published RHCOS AMI.

4.3.8.1. AWS regions without a published RHCOS AMI

You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions without native support for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) or the AWS software development kit (SDK). If a published AMI is not available for an AWS region, you can upload a custom AMI prior to installing the cluster.

If you are deploying to a region not supported by the AWS SDK and you do not specify a custom AMI, the installation program copies the us-east-1 AMI to the user account automatically. Then the installation program creates the control plane machines with encrypted EBS volumes using the default or user-specified Key Management Service (KMS) key. This allows the AMI to follow the same process workflow as published RHCOS AMIs.

A region without native support for an RHCOS AMI is not available to select from the terminal during cluster creation because it is not published. However, you can install to this region by configuring the custom AMI in the install-config.yaml file.

4.3.8.2. Uploading a custom RHCOS AMI in AWS

If you are deploying to a custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) region, you must upload a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that belongs to that region.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You created an Amazon S3 bucket with the required IAM service role.
You uploaded your RHCOS VMDK file to Amazon S3. The RHCOS VMDK file must be the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version you are installing.
You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer.

Procedure

Export your AWS profile as an environment variable:
```
$ export AWS_PROFILE=<aws_profile> 1
```
Export the region to associate with your custom AMI as an environment variable:
```
$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region> 1
```
Export the version of RHCOS you uploaded to Amazon S3 as an environment variable:
```
$ export RHCOS_VERSION=<version> 1
```
1 1 1
The RHCOS VMDK version, like 4.17.0.
Export the Amazon S3 bucket name as an environment variable:
```
$ export VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME=<s3_bucket_name>
```

Create the containers.json file and define your RHCOS VMDK file:

$ cat <<EOF > containers.json
{
   "Description": "rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64",
   "Format": "vmdk",
   "UserBucket": {
      "S3Bucket": "${VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME}",
      "S3Key": "rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk"
   }
}
EOF

Import the RHCOS disk as an Amazon EBS snapshot:
```
$ aws ec2 import-snapshot --region ${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \
     --description "<description>" \ 1
     --disk-container "file://<file_path>/containers.json" 2
```
1
The description of your RHCOS disk being imported, like rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64.
2
The file path to the JSON file describing your RHCOS disk. The JSON file should contain your Amazon S3 bucket name and key.

Check the status of the image import:

$ watch -n 5 aws ec2 describe-import-snapshot-tasks --region ${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION}

Example output

{
    "ImportSnapshotTasks": [
        {
            "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64",
            "ImportTaskId": "import-snap-fh6i8uil",
            "SnapshotTaskDetail": {
                "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64",
                "DiskImageSize": 819056640.0,
                "Format": "VMDK",
                "SnapshotId": "snap-06331325870076318",
                "Status": "completed",
                "UserBucket": {
                    "S3Bucket": "external-images",
                    "S3Key": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Copy the SnapshotId to register the image.

Create a custom RHCOS AMI from the RHCOS snapshot:

$ aws ec2 register-image \
   --region ${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \
   --architecture x86_64 \ 1
   --description "rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 2
   --ena-support \
   --name "rhcos-${RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 3
   --virtualization-type hvm \
   --root-device-name '/dev/xvda' \
   --block-device-mappings 'DeviceName=/dev/xvda,Ebs={DeleteOnTermination=true,SnapshotId=<snapshot_ID>}' 4

1: The RHCOS VMDK architecture type, like x86_64, aarch64, s390x, or ppc64le.
2: The Description from the imported snapshot.
3: The name of the RHCOS AMI.
4: The SnapshotID from the imported snapshot.

To learn more about these APIs, see the AWS documentation for importing snapshots and creating EBS-backed AMIs.

4.3.9. Creating the bootstrap node in AWS

You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OpenShift Container Platform cluster initialization. You do this by:

Providing a location to serve the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to your cluster. This file is located in your installation directory. The provided CloudFormation Template assumes that the Ignition config files for your cluster are served from an S3 bucket. If you choose to serve the files from another location, you must modify the templates.
Using the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the bootstrap node that your OpenShift Container Platform installation requires.

Note

If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your bootstrap node, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.

Procedure

Create the bucket by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra 1
```
1
<cluster-name>-infra is the bucket name. When creating the install-config.yaml file, replace <cluster-name> with the name specified for the cluster.
You must use a presigned URL for your S3 bucket, instead of the s3:// schema, if you are:
- Deploying to a region that has endpoints that differ from the AWS SDK.
- Deploying a proxy.
- Providing your own custom endpoints.
Upload the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to the bucket by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 cp <installation_directory>/bootstrap.ign s3://<cluster-name>-infra/bootstrap.ign 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify that the file uploaded by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 ls s3://<cluster-name>-infra/
```
Example output
```
2019-04-03 16:15:16     314878 bootstrap.ign
```
Note
The bootstrap Ignition config file does contain secrets, like X.509 keys. The following steps provide basic security for the S3 bucket. To provide additional security, you can enable an S3 bucket policy to allow only certain users, such as the OpenShift IAM user, to access objects that the bucket contains. You can avoid S3 entirely and serve your bootstrap Ignition config file from any address that the bootstrap machine can reach.
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```

You must create the control plane machines in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that your cluster will use.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the control plane nodes.

Important

The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents three control plane nodes.

Note

If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your control plane nodes, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
You created the bootstrap machine.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:

4.3.11. Creating the worker nodes in AWS

You can create worker nodes in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your cluster to use.

Note

If you are installing a three-node cluster, skip this step. A three-node cluster consists of three control plane machines, which also act as compute machines.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node.

Important

The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node. You must create a stack for each worker node.

Note

If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your worker nodes, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
You created the bootstrap machine.
You created the control plane machines.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the CloudFormation template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3
    "ParameterValue": "ami-<random_string>" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "Subnet", 5
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerSecurityGroupId", 7
    "ParameterValue": "sg-<random_string>" 8
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "IgnitionLocation", 9
    "ParameterValue": "https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker" 10
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "CertificateAuthorities", 11
    "ParameterValue": "" 12
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceProfileName", 13
    "ParameterValue": "" 14
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceType", 15
    "ParameterValue": "" 16
  }
]
```
1
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
2
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
3
Current Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI to use for the worker nodes based on your selected architecture.
4
Specify an AWS::EC2::Image::Id value.
5
A subnet, preferably private, to start the worker nodes on.
6
Specify a subnet from the PrivateSubnets value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing.
7
The worker security group ID to associate with worker nodes.
8
Specify the WorkerSecurityGroupId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles.
9
The location to fetch the bootstrap Ignition config file from.
10
Specify the generated Ignition config location, https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker.
11
Base64 encoded certificate authority string to use.
12
Specify the value from the worker.ign file that is in the installation directory. This value is the long string with the format data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,ABC…xYz==.
13
The IAM profile to associate with worker nodes.
14
Specify the WorkerInstanceProfile parameter value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles.
15
The type of AWS instance to use for the compute machines based on your selected architecture.
16
The instance type value corresponds to the minimum resource requirements for compute machines. For example m6i.large is a type for AMD64 and m6g.large is a type for ARM64.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for worker machines section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking objects and load balancers that your cluster requires.
Optional: If you specified an m5 instance type as the value for WorkerInstanceType, add that instance type to the WorkerInstanceType.AllowedValues parameter in the CloudFormation template.
Optional: If you are deploying with an AWS Marketplace image, update the Worker0.type.properties.ImageID parameter with the AMI ID that you obtained from your subscription.
Use the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml \ 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-worker-1. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-worker-1/729ee301-1c2a-11eb-348f-sd9888c65b59
```
Note
The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node.

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

Continue to create worker stacks until you have created enough worker machines for your cluster. You can create additional worker stacks by referencing the same template and parameter files and specifying a different stack name.
Important
You must create at least two worker machines, so you must create at least two stacks that use this CloudFormation template.

4.3.12. Initializing the bootstrap sequence on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure

After you create all of the required infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can start the bootstrap sequence that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
You created the bootstrap machine.
You created the control plane machines.
You created the worker nodes.

Procedure

Change to the directory that contains the installation program and start the bootstrap process that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane:
```
$ ./openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete --dir <installation_directory> \ 1
    --log-level=info 2
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
2
To view different installation details, specify warn, debug, or error instead of info.
Example output
```
INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443...
INFO API v1.30.3 up
INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete...
INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources
INFO Time elapsed: 1s
```
If the command exits without a FATAL warning, your OpenShift Container Platform control plane has initialized.
Note
After the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators.

Additional resources

See Monitoring installation progress for details about monitoring the installation, bootstrap, and control plane logs as an OpenShift Container Platform installation progresses.
See Gathering bootstrap node diagnostic data for information about troubleshooting issues related to the bootstrap process.
You can view details about the running instances that are created by using the AWS EC2 console.

4.3.13. Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI

You can log in to your cluster as a default system user by exporting the cluster kubeconfig file. The kubeconfig file contains information about the cluster that is used by the CLI to connect a client to the correct cluster and API server. The file is specific to a cluster and is created during OpenShift Container Platform installation.

Prerequisites

You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
You installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

Export the kubeadmin credentials:
```
$ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify you can run oc commands successfully using the exported configuration:
```
$ oc whoami
```
Example output
```
system:admin
```

4.3.14. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines

When you add machines to a cluster, two pending certificate signing requests (CSRs) are generated for each machine that you added. You must confirm that these CSRs are approved or, if necessary, approve them yourself. The client requests must be approved first, followed by the server requests.

Prerequisites

You added machines to your cluster.

Procedure

Confirm that the cluster recognizes the machines:
```
$ oc get nodes
```
Example output
```
NAME      STATUS    ROLES   AGE  VERSION
master-0  Ready     master  63m  v1.30.3
master-1  Ready     master  63m  v1.30.3
master-2  Ready     master  64m  v1.30.3
```
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
Note
The preceding output might not include the compute nodes, also known as worker nodes, until some CSRs are approved.

Review the pending CSRs and ensure that you see the client requests with the Pending or Approved status for each machine that you added to the cluster:

$ oc get csr

Example output

NAME        AGE     REQUESTOR                                                                   CONDITION
csr-8b2br   15m     system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper   Pending
csr-8vnps   15m     system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper   Pending
...

In this example, two machines are joining the cluster. You might see more approved CSRs in the list.

If the CSRs were not approved, after all of the pending CSRs for the machines you added are in Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:
Note
Because the CSRs rotate automatically, approve your CSRs within an hour of adding the machines to the cluster. If you do not approve them within an hour, the certificates will rotate, and more than two certificates will be present for each node. You must approve all of these certificates. After the client CSR is approved, the Kubelet creates a secondary CSR for the serving certificate, which requires manual approval. Then, subsequent serving certificate renewal requests are automatically approved by the machine-approver if the Kubelet requests a new certificate with identical parameters.
Note
For clusters running on platforms that are not machine API enabled, such as bare metal and other user-provisioned infrastructure, you must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests (CSRs). If a request is not approved, then the oc exec, oc rsh, and oc logs commands cannot succeed, because a serving certificate is required when the API server connects to the kubelet. Any operation that contacts the Kubelet endpoint requires this certificate approval to be in place. The method must watch for new CSRs, confirm that the CSR was submitted by the node-bootstrapper service account in the system:node or system:admin groups, and confirm the identity of the node.
- To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
```
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
```
  1
  <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
- To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
```
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty oc adm certificate approve
```
  Note
  Some Operators might not become available until some CSRs are approved.

Now that your client requests are approved, you must review the server requests for each machine that you added to the cluster:

$ oc get csr

Example output

NAME        AGE     REQUESTOR                                                                   CONDITION
csr-bfd72   5m26s   system:node:ip-10-0-50-126.us-east-2.compute.internal                       Pending
csr-c57lv   5m26s   system:node:ip-10-0-95-157.us-east-2.compute.internal                       Pending
...

If the remaining CSRs are not approved, and are in the Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:
- To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
```
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
```
  1
  <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
- To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
```
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs oc adm certificate approve
```

After all client and server CSRs have been approved, the machines have the Ready status. Verify this by running the following command:

$ oc get nodes

Example output

NAME      STATUS    ROLES   AGE  VERSION
master-0  Ready     master  73m  v1.30.3
master-1  Ready     master  73m  v1.30.3
master-2  Ready     master  74m  v1.30.3
worker-0  Ready     worker  11m  v1.30.3
worker-1  Ready     worker  11m  v1.30.3

Note

It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status.

4.3.15. Initial Operator configuration

After the control plane initializes, you must immediately configure some Operators so that they all become available.

Prerequisites

Your control plane has initialized.

Procedure

Watch the cluster components come online:

$ watch -n5 oc get clusteroperators

Configure the Operators that are not available.

4.3.15.1. Image registry storage configuration

Amazon Web Services provides default storage, which means the Image Registry Operator is available after installation. However, if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you must manually configure registry storage.

Instructions are shown for configuring a persistent volume, which is required for production clusters. Where applicable, instructions are shown for configuring an empty directory as the storage location, which is available for only non-production clusters.

Additional instructions are provided for allowing the image registry to use block storage types by using the Recreate rollout strategy during upgrades.

You can configure registry storage for user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS to deploy OpenShift Container Platform to hidden regions. See Configuring the registry for AWS user-provisioned infrastructure for more information.

4.3.15.1.1. Configuring registry storage for AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure

During installation, your cloud credentials are sufficient to create an Amazon S3 bucket and the Registry Operator will automatically configure storage.

If the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you can create an S3 bucket and configure storage with the following procedure.

Prerequisites

You have a cluster on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure.
For Amazon S3 storage, the secret is expected to contain two keys:
- REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY
- REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY

Procedure

Use the following procedure if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage.

Set up a Bucket Lifecycle Policy to abort incomplete multipart uploads that are one day old.

Fill in the storage configuration in configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster:

$ oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster

Example configuration

storage:
  s3:
    bucket: <bucket-name>
    region: <region-name>

Warning

To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket.

4.3.15.1.2. Configuring storage for the image registry in non-production clusters

You must configure storage for the Image Registry Operator. For non-production clusters, you can set the image registry to an empty directory. If you do so, all images are lost if you restart the registry.

Procedure

To set the image registry storage to an empty directory:
```
$ oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}'
```
Warning
Configure this option for only non-production clusters.
If you run this command before the Image Registry Operator initializes its components, the oc patch command fails with the following error:
```
Error from server (NotFound): configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io "cluster" not found
```
Wait a few minutes and run the command again.

4.3.16. Deleting the bootstrap resources

After you complete the initial Operator configuration for the cluster, remove the bootstrap resources from Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Prerequisites

You completed the initial Operator configuration for your cluster.

Procedure

Delete the bootstrap resources. If you used the CloudFormation template, delete its stack:
- Delete the stack by using the AWS CLI:
```
$ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <name> 1
```
  1
  <name> is the name of your bootstrap stack.
- Delete the stack by using the AWS CloudFormation console.

4.3.17. Creating the Ingress DNS Records

If you removed the DNS Zone configuration, manually create DNS records that point to the Ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard record or specific records. While the following procedure uses A records, you can use other record types that you require, such as CNAME or alias.

Prerequisites

You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provisioned.
You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
You installed the jq package.
You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix).

Procedure

Determine the routes to create.

To create a wildcard record, use *.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>, where <cluster_name> is your cluster name, and <domain_name> is the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

To create specific records, you must create a record for each route that your cluster uses, as shown in the output of the following command:

$ oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes

Example output

oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
downloads-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>

Retrieve the Ingress Operator load balancer status and note the value of the external IP address that it uses, which is shown in the EXTERNAL-IP column:

$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default

Example output

NAME             TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP                            PORT(S)                      AGE
router-default   LoadBalancer   172.30.62.215   ab3...28.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com   80:31499/TCP,443:30693/TCP   5m

Locate the hosted zone ID for the load balancer:
```
$ aws elb describe-load-balancers | jq -r '.LoadBalancerDescriptions[] | select(.DNSName == "<external_ip>").CanonicalHostedZoneNameID' 1
```
1
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer that you obtained.
Example output
```
Z3AADJGX6KTTL2
```
The output of this command is the load balancer hosted zone ID.
Obtain the public hosted zone ID for your cluster’s domain:
```
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \
            --dns-name "<domain_name>" \ 1
            --query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' 2
            --output text
```
1 2
For <domain_name>, specify the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Example output
```
/hostedzone/Z3URY6TWQ91KVV
```
The public hosted zone ID for your domain is shown in the command output. In this example, it is Z3URY6TWQ91KVV.
Add the alias records to your private zone:
```
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<private_hosted_zone_id>" --change-batch '{ 1
>   "Changes": [
>     {
>       "Action": "CREATE",
>       "ResourceRecordSet": {
>         "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2
>         "Type": "A",
>         "AliasTarget":{
>           "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3
>           "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4
>           "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   ]
> }'
```
1
For <private_hosted_zone_id>, specify the value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing.
2
For <cluster_domain>, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
3
For <hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained.
4
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.) in this parameter value.
Add the records to your public zone:
```
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<public_hosted_zone_id>"" --change-batch '{ 1
>   "Changes": [
>     {
>       "Action": "CREATE",
>       "ResourceRecordSet": {
>         "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2
>         "Type": "A",
>         "AliasTarget":{
>           "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3
>           "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4
>           "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   ]
> }'
```
1
For <public_hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone for your domain.
2
For <cluster_domain>, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
3
For <hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained.
4
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.) in this parameter value.

4.3.18. Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure

After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion.

Prerequisites

You removed the bootstrap node for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure.
You installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation:
```
$ ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
```
INFO Waiting up to 40m0s for the cluster at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443 to initialize...
INFO Waiting up to 10m0s for the openshift-console route to be created...
INFO Install complete!
INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig'
INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com
INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "password"
INFO Time elapsed: 1s
```
Important
- The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information.
- It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.

4.3.19. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console

The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

Prerequisites

You have access to the installation host.
You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available.

Procedure

Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host:
```
$ cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password
```
Note
Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host.
List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route:
```
$ oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift'
```
Note
Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host.
Example output
```
console     console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>            console     https   reencrypt/Redirect   None
```
Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user.

Additional resources

See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

4.3.20. Additional resources

See Working with stacks in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS CloudFormation stacks.

4.3.21. Next steps

Validating an installation.
Customize your cluster.
If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials.

4.4. Installing a cluster on AWS in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure

In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.17, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using infrastructure that you provide and an internal mirror of the installation release content.

Important

While you can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using mirrored installation release content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the AWS APIs.

Important

4.4.1. Prerequisites

You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
You created a mirror registry on your mirror host and obtained the imageContentSources data for your version of OpenShift Container Platform.
Important
Because the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps.
You configured an AWS account to host the cluster.
Important
If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-term credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program.
You prepared the user-provisioned infrastructure.
You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or UNIX) in the AWS documentation.
If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
Note
Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system namespace, you can manually create and maintain long-term credentials.

4.4.2. About installations in restricted networks

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.17, you can perform an installation that does not require an active connection to the internet to obtain software components. Restricted network installations can be completed using installer-provisioned infrastructure or user-provisioned infrastructure, depending on the cloud platform to which you are installing the cluster.

If you choose to perform a restricted network installation on a cloud platform, you still require access to its cloud APIs. Some cloud functions, like Amazon Web Service’s Route 53 DNS and IAM services, require internet access. Depending on your network, you might require less internet access for an installation on bare metal hardware, Nutanix, or on VMware vSphere.

To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift image registry and contains the installation media. You can create this registry on a mirror host, which can access both the internet and your closed network, or by using other methods that meet your restrictions.

Important

Because of the complexity of the configuration for user-provisioned installations, consider completing a standard user-provisioned infrastructure installation before you attempt a restricted network installation using user-provisioned infrastructure. Completing this test installation might make it easier to isolate and troubleshoot any issues that might arise during your installation in a restricted network.

4.4.2.1. Additional limits

Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions:

The ClusterVersion status includes an Unable to retrieve available updates error.
By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags.

4.4.3. Creating the installation files for AWS

4.4.3.1. Optional: Creating a separate `/var` partition

OpenShift Container Platform supports the addition of a single partition to attach storage to either the /var partition or a subdirectory of /var. For example:

/var/lib/containers: Holds container-related content that can grow as more images and containers are added to a system.
/var/lib/etcd: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as performance optimization of etcd storage.
/var: Holds data that you might want to keep separate for purposes such as auditing.

Important

Procedure

Create a directory to hold the OpenShift Container Platform installation files:
```
$ mkdir $HOME/clusterconfig
```

Run openshift-install to create a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted:

$ openshift-install create manifests --dir $HOME/clusterconfig

Example output

? SSH Public Key ...
INFO Credentials loaded from the "myprofile" profile in file "/home/myuser/.aws/credentials"
INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory
INFO Manifests created in: $HOME/clusterconfig/manifests and $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift

Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the clusterconfig/openshift directory:

$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/

Example output

99_kubeadmin-password-secret.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-0.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-1.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-2.yaml
...

Create a Butane config that configures the additional partition. For example, name the file $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu, change the disk device name to the name of the storage device on the worker systems, and set the storage size as appropriate. This example places the /var directory on a separate partition:
```
variant: openshift
version: 4.17.0
metadata:
  labels:
    machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
  name: 98-var-partition
storage:
  disks:
  - device: /dev/disk/by-id/<device_name> 1
    partitions:
    - label: var
      start_mib: <partition_start_offset> 2
      size_mib: <partition_size> 3
      number: 5
  filesystems:
    - device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var
      path: /var
      format: xfs
      mount_options: [defaults, prjquota] 4
      with_mount_unit: true
```
1
The storage device name of the disk that you want to partition.
2
When adding a data partition to the boot disk, a minimum value of 25000 MiB (Mebibytes) is recommended. The root file system is automatically resized to fill all available space up to the specified offset. If no value is specified, or if the specified value is smaller than the recommended minimum, the resulting root file system will be too small, and future reinstalls of RHCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition.
3
The size of the data partition in mebibytes.
4
The prjquota mount option must be enabled for filesystems used for container storage.
Note
When creating a separate /var partition, you cannot use different instance types for worker nodes, if the different instance types do not have the same device name.
Create a manifest from the Butane config and save it to the clusterconfig/openshift directory. For example, run the following command:
```
$ butane $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/98-var-partition.yaml
```

Run openshift-install again to create Ignition configs from a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories:

$ openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir $HOME/clusterconfig
$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/
auth  bootstrap.ign  master.ign  metadata.json  worker.ign

Now you can use the Ignition config files as input to the installation procedures to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) systems.

4.4.3.2. Creating the installation configuration file

Generate and customize the installation configuration file that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster.

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program for user-provisioned infrastructure and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
You checked that you are deploying your cluster to an AWS Region with an accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI published by Red Hat. If you are deploying to an AWS Region that requires a custom AMI, such as an AWS GovCloud Region, you must create the install-config.yaml file manually.

Procedure

Create the install-config.yaml file.
1. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command:
```
$ ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
  1
  For <installation_directory>, specify the directory name to store the files that the installation program creates.
  Important
  Specify 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.
2. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud:
  1. Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines.
    Note
    For 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.
  2. Select aws as the platform to target.
  3. If you do not have an AWS profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program.
    Note
    The AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in ~/.aws/credentials in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file.
  4. Select the AWS Region to deploy the cluster to.
  5. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured for your cluster.
  6. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster.
  7. Paste the pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.
Edit the install-config.yaml file to give the additional information that is required for an installation in a restricted network.
1. Update the pullSecret value to contain the authentication information for your registry:
```
pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<local_registry>": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}'
```
  For <local_registry>, specify the registry domain name, and optionally the port, that your mirror registry uses to serve content. For example registry.example.com or registry.example.com:5000. For <credentials>, specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry.
2. Add the additionalTrustBundle parameter and value. The value must be the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry. The certificate file can be an existing, trusted certificate authority or the self-signed certificate that you generated for the mirror registry.
```
additionalTrustBundle: |
  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  -----END CERTIFICATE-----
```
3. Add the image content resources:
```
imageContentSources:
- mirrors:
  - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release
  source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release
- mirrors:
  - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release
  source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev
```
  Use the imageContentSources section from the output of the command to mirror the repository or the values that you used when you mirrored the content from the media that you brought into your restricted network.
4. Optional: Set the publishing strategy to Internal:
```
publish: Internal
```
  By setting this option, you create an internal Ingress Controller and a private load balancer.
Optional: Back up the install-config.yaml file.
Important
The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.

Additional resources

See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration.

4.4.3.3. Configuring the cluster-wide proxy during installation

Prerequisites

You have an existing install-config.yaml file.
You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the Proxy object’s spec.noProxy field to bypass the proxy if necessary.
Note
The Proxy object status.noProxy field is populated with the values of the networking.machineNetwork[].cidr, networking.clusterNetwork[].cidr, and networking.serviceNetwork[] fields from your installation configuration.
For installations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), the Proxy object status.noProxy field is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254).

Procedure

Edit your install-config.yaml file and add the proxy settings. For example:
```
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: my.domain.com
proxy:
  httpProxy: http://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 1
  httpsProxy: https://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 2
  noProxy: ec2.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,elasticloadbalancing.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com,s3.<aws_region>.amazonaws.com 3
additionalTrustBundle: | 4
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
additionalTrustBundlePolicy: <policy_to_add_additionalTrustBundle> 5
```
1
A proxy URL to use for creating HTTP connections outside the cluster. The URL scheme must be http.
2
A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster.
3
A comma-separated list of destination domain names, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude from proxying. Preface a domain with . to match subdomains only. For example, .y.com matches x.y.com, but not y.com. Use * to bypass the proxy for all destinations. If you have added the Amazon EC2,Elastic Load Balancing, and S3 VPC endpoints to your VPC, you must add these endpoints to the noProxy field.
4
If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges these contents with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in the trustedCA field of the Proxy object. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle.
5
Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the Proxy object to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The allowed values are Proxyonly and Always. Use Proxyonly to reference the user-ca-bundle config map only when http/https proxy is configured. Use Always to always reference the user-ca-bundle config map. The default value is Proxyonly.
Note
The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field.
Note
If the installer times out, restart and then complete the deployment by using the wait-for command of the installer. For example:
```
$ ./openshift-install wait-for install-complete --log-level debug
```
Save the file and reference it when installing OpenShift Container Platform.

Note

Only the Proxy object named cluster is supported, and no additional proxies can be created.

4.4.3.4. Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files

The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to configure the cluster machines.

Important

The Ignition config files that the OpenShift Container Platform installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information.
It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
You created the install-config.yaml installation configuration file.

Procedure

Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
```
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the installation directory that contains the install-config.yaml file you created.
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines:
```
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml
```
By removing these files, you prevent the cluster from automatically generating control plane machines.

Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machine set:

$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-machine-api_master-control-plane-machine-set.yaml

Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines:
```
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml
```
Important
If you disabled the MachineAPI capability when installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure, you must remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines. Otherwise, your cluster fails to install.
Because you create and manage the worker machines yourself, you do not need to initialize these machines.
Check that the mastersSchedulable parameter in the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml Kubernetes manifest file is set to false. This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines:
1. Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file.
2. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false.
3. Save and exit the file.
Optional: If you do not want the Ingress Operator to create DNS records on your behalf, remove the privateZone and publicZone sections from the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-dns-02-config.yml DNS configuration file:
```
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: DNS
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  name: cluster
spec:
  baseDomain: example.openshift.com
  privateZone: 1
    id: mycluster-100419-private-zone
  publicZone: 2
    id: example.openshift.com
status: {}
```
1 2
Remove this section completely.
If you do so, you must add ingress DNS records manually in a later step.
To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program:
```
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir <installation_directory> 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the same installation directory.
Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The kubeadmin-password and kubeconfig files are created in the ./<installation_directory>/auth directory:
```
.
├── auth
│   ├── kubeadmin-password
│   └── kubeconfig
├── bootstrap.ign
├── master.ign
├── metadata.json
└── worker.ign
```

4.4.4. Extracting the infrastructure name

Prerequisites

You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You installed the jq package.

Procedure

To extract and view the infrastructure name from the Ignition config file metadata, run the following command:
```
$ jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
```
openshift-vw9j6 1
```
1
The output of this command is your cluster name and a random string.

4.4.5. Creating a VPC in AWS

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC.

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 1
    "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "AvailabilityZoneCount", 3
    "ParameterValue": "1" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "SubnetBits", 5
    "ParameterValue": "12" 6
  }
]
```
1
The CIDR block for the VPC.
2
Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24.
3
The number of availability zones to deploy the VPC in.
4
Specify an integer between 1 and 3.
5
The size of each subnet in each availability zone.
6
Specify an integer between 5 and 13, where 5 is /27 and 13 is /19.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-vpc. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-vpc/dbedae40-2fd3-11eb-820e-12a48460849f
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`VpcId`	The ID of your VPC.
`PublicSubnetIds`	The IDs of the new public subnets.
`PrivateSubnetIds`	The IDs of the new private subnets.

4.4.6. Creating networking and load balancing components in AWS

You must configure networking and classic or network load balancing in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster can use.

You can run the template multiple times within a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.

Procedure

Obtain the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 base domain that you specified in the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. You can obtain details about your hosted zone by running the following command:
```
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name --dns-name <route53_domain> 1
```
1
For the <route53_domain>, specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster.
Example output
```
mycluster.example.com.	False	100
HOSTEDZONES	65F8F38E-2268-B835-E15C-AB55336FCBFA	/hostedzone/Z21IXYZABCZ2A4	mycluster.example.com.	10
```
In the example output, the hosted zone ID is Z21IXYZABCZ2A4.
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "ClusterName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 3
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "HostedZoneId", 5
    "ParameterValue": "<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "HostedZoneName", 7
    "ParameterValue": "example.com" 8
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PublicSubnets", 9
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 10
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PrivateSubnets", 11
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 12
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 13
    "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 14
  }
]
```
1
A short, representative cluster name to use for hostnames, etc.
2
Specify the cluster name that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster.
3
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
4
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
5
The Route 53 public zone ID to register the targets with.
6
Specify the Route 53 public zone ID, which as a format similar to Z21IXYZABCZ2A4. You can obtain this value from the AWS console.
7
The Route 53 zone to register the targets with.
8
Specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster. Do not include the trailing period (.) that is displayed in the AWS console.
9
The public subnets that you created for your VPC.
10
Specify the PublicSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
11
The private subnets that you created for your VPC.
12
Specify the PrivateSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
13
The VPC that you created for the cluster.
14
Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the network and load balancers section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking and load balancing objects that your cluster requires.
Important
If you are deploying your cluster to an AWS government or secret region, you must update the InternalApiServerRecord in the CloudFormation template to use CNAME records. Records of type ALIAS are not supported for AWS government regions.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that provide the networking and load balancing components:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
     --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-dns. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
4
You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role resources.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-dns/cd3e5de0-2fd4-11eb-5cf0-12be5c33a183
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`PrivateHostedZoneId`	Hosted zone ID for the private DNS.
`ExternalApiLoadBalancerName`	Full name of the external API load balancer.
`InternalApiLoadBalancerName`	Full name of the internal API load balancer.
`ApiServerDnsName`	Full hostname of the API server.
`RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambda`	Lambda ARN useful to help register/deregister IP targets for these load balancers.
`ExternalApiTargetGroupArn`	ARN of external API target group.
`InternalApiTargetGroupArn`	ARN of internal API target group.
`InternalServiceTargetGroupArn`	ARN of internal service target group.

4.4.6.1. CloudFormation template for the network and load balancers

You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the networking objects and load balancers that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

4.4.7. Creating security group and roles in AWS

You must create security groups and roles in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use.

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 3
    "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "PrivateSubnets", 5
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 7
    "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 8
  }
]
```

Specify the PrivateSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
7
The VPC that you created for the cluster.
8
Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for security objects section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the security groups and roles that your cluster requires.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the security groups and roles:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
     --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-sec. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
4
You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role and AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile resources.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-sec/03bd4210-2ed7-11eb-6d7a-13fc0b61e9db
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`MasterSecurityGroupId`	Master Security Group ID
`WorkerSecurityGroupId`	Worker Security Group ID
`MasterInstanceProfile`	Master IAM Instance Profile
`WorkerInstanceProfile`	Worker IAM Instance Profile

4.4.8. Accessing RHCOS AMIs with stream metadata

Procedure

To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods:

From a Go program, use the official stream-metadata-go library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go. You can also view example code in the library.
From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language.
From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as jq:
- Print the current x86_64 or aarch64 AMI for an AWS region, such as us-west-1:
  For x86_64
```
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
```
  Example output
```
ami-0d3e625f84626bbda
```
  For aarch64
```
$ openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.aarch64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image'
```
  Example output
```
ami-0af1d3b7fa5be2131
```
  The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for your designated architecture and the us-west-1 region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster.

4.4.10. Creating the bootstrap node in AWS

You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OpenShift Container Platform cluster initialization. You do this by:

Providing a location to serve the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to your cluster. This file is located in your installation directory. The provided CloudFormation Template assumes that the Ignition config files for your cluster are served from an S3 bucket. If you choose to serve the files from another location, you must modify the templates.
Using the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the bootstrap node that your OpenShift Container Platform installation requires.

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.

Procedure

Create the bucket by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra 1
```
1
<cluster-name>-infra is the bucket name. When creating the install-config.yaml file, replace <cluster-name> with the name specified for the cluster.
You must use a presigned URL for your S3 bucket, instead of the s3:// schema, if you are:
- Deploying to a region that has endpoints that differ from the AWS SDK.
- Deploying a proxy.
- Providing your own custom endpoints.
Upload the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to the bucket by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 cp <installation_directory>/bootstrap.ign s3://<cluster-name>-infra/bootstrap.ign 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify that the file uploaded by running the following command:
```
$ aws s3 ls s3://<cluster-name>-infra/
```
Example output
```
2019-04-03 16:15:16     314878 bootstrap.ign
```
Note
The bootstrap Ignition config file does contain secrets, like X.509 keys. The following steps provide basic security for the S3 bucket. To provide additional security, you can enable an S3 bucket policy to allow only certain users, such as the OpenShift IAM user, to access objects that the bucket contains. You can avoid S3 entirely and serve your bootstrap Ignition config file from any address that the bootstrap machine can reach.
Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3

    "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Exter-<random_string>" 20
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InternalApiTargetGroupArn", 21
    "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 22
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InternalServiceTargetGroupArn", 23
    "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<aws_region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 24
  }
]
```
1
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
2
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
3
Current Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI to use for the bootstrap node based on your selected architecture.
4
Specify a valid AWS::EC2::Image::Id value.
5
CIDR block to allow SSH access to the bootstrap node.
6
Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24.
7

10
Specify the MasterSecurityGroupId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles.
11
The VPC created resources will belong to.
12
Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC.
13
Location to fetch bootstrap Ignition config file from.
14
Specify the S3 bucket and file name in the form s3://<bucket_name>/bootstrap.ign.
15
Whether or not to register a network load balancer (NLB).
16
Specify yes or no. If you specify yes, you must provide a Lambda Amazon Resource Name (ARN) value.
17
The ARN for NLB IP target registration lambda group.
18
Specify the RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambda value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region.
19
The ARN for external API load balancer target group.
20
Specify the ExternalApiTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region.
21
The ARN for internal API load balancer target group.
22
Specify the InternalApiTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region.
23
The ARN for internal service load balancer target group.
24
Specify the InternalServiceTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the bootstrap machine section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the bootstrap machine that your cluster requires.
Optional: If you are deploying the cluster with a proxy, you must update the ignition in the template to add the ignition.config.proxy fields. Additionally, If you have added the Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, and S3 VPC endpoints to your VPC, you must add these endpoints to the noProxy field.
Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the bootstrap node:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
     --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-bootstrap. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
4
You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role and AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile resources.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-bootstrap/12944486-2add-11eb-9dee-12dace8e3a83
```

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

`BootstrapInstanceId`	The bootstrap Instance ID.
`BootstrapPublicIp`	The bootstrap node public IP address.
`BootstrapPrivateIp`	The bootstrap node private IP address.

4.4.12. Creating the worker nodes in AWS

You can create worker nodes in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your cluster to use.

You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node.

Important

The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node. You must create a stack for each worker node.

Note

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
You created the bootstrap machine.
You created the control plane machines.

Procedure

Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the CloudFormation template requires:
```
[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1
    "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3
    "ParameterValue": "ami-<random_string>" 4
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "Subnet", 5
    "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerSecurityGroupId", 7
    "ParameterValue": "sg-<random_string>" 8
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "IgnitionLocation", 9
    "ParameterValue": "https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker" 10
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "CertificateAuthorities", 11
    "ParameterValue": "" 12
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceProfileName", 13
    "ParameterValue": "" 14
  },
  {
    "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceType", 15
    "ParameterValue": "" 16
  }
]
```
1
The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster.
2
Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string>.
3
Current Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI to use for the worker nodes based on your selected architecture.
4
Specify an AWS::EC2::Image::Id value.
5
A subnet, preferably private, to start the worker nodes on.
6
Specify a subnet from the PrivateSubnets value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing.
7
The worker security group ID to associate with worker nodes.
8
Specify the WorkerSecurityGroupId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles.
9
The location to fetch the bootstrap Ignition config file from.
10
Specify the generated Ignition config location, https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker.
11
Base64 encoded certificate authority string to use.
12
Specify the value from the worker.ign file that is in the installation directory. This value is the long string with the format data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,ABC…xYz==.
13
The IAM profile to associate with worker nodes.
14
Specify the WorkerInstanceProfile parameter value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles.
15
The type of AWS instance to use for the compute machines based on your selected architecture.
16
The instance type value corresponds to the minimum resource requirements for compute machines. For example m6i.large is a type for AMD64 and m6g.large is a type for ARM64.
Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for worker machines section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking objects and load balancers that your cluster requires.
Optional: If you specified an m5 instance type as the value for WorkerInstanceType, add that instance type to the WorkerInstanceType.AllowedValues parameter in the CloudFormation template.
Optional: If you are deploying with an AWS Marketplace image, update the Worker0.type.properties.ImageID parameter with the AMI ID that you obtained from your subscription.
Use the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node:
Important
You must enter the command on a single line.
```
$ aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1
     --template-body file://<template>.yaml \ 2
     --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3
```
1
<name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-worker-1. You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster.
2
<template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved.
3
<parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file.
Example output
```
arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-worker-1/729ee301-1c2a-11eb-348f-sd9888c65b59
```
Note
The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node.

Confirm that the template components exist:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>

Continue to create worker stacks until you have created enough worker machines for your cluster. You can create additional worker stacks by referencing the same template and parameter files and specifying a different stack name.
Important
You must create at least two worker machines, so you must create at least two stacks that use this CloudFormation template.

4.4.13. Initializing the bootstrap sequence on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure

After you create all of the required infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can start the bootstrap sequence that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane.

Prerequisites

You configured an AWS account.
You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure.
You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster.
You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS.
You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS.
You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS.
You created the bootstrap machine.
You created the control plane machines.
You created the worker nodes.

Procedure

Change to the directory that contains the installation program and start the bootstrap process that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane:
```
$ ./openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete --dir <installation_directory> \ 1
    --log-level=info 2
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
2
To view different installation details, specify warn, debug, or error instead of info.
Example output
```
INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443...
INFO API v1.30.3 up
INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete...
INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources
INFO Time elapsed: 1s
```
If the command exits without a FATAL warning, your OpenShift Container Platform control plane has initialized.
Note
After the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators.

Additional resources

See Monitoring installation progress for details about monitoring the installation, bootstrap, and control plane logs as an OpenShift Container Platform installation progresses.
See Gathering bootstrap node diagnostic data for information about troubleshooting issues related to the bootstrap process.

4.4.14. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines

Prerequisites

You added machines to your cluster.

Procedure

Confirm that the cluster recognizes the machines:
```
$ oc get nodes
```
Example output
```
NAME      STATUS    ROLES   AGE  VERSION
master-0  Ready     master  63m  v1.30.3
master-1  Ready     master  63m  v1.30.3
master-2  Ready     master  64m  v1.30.3
```
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
Note
The preceding output might not include the compute nodes, also known as worker nodes, until some CSRs are approved.

Review the pending CSRs and ensure that you see the client requests with the Pending or Approved status for each machine that you added to the cluster:

$ oc get csr

Example output

NAME        AGE     REQUESTOR                                                                   CONDITION
csr-8b2br   15m     system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper   Pending
csr-8vnps   15m     system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper   Pending
...

In this example, two machines are joining the cluster. You might see more approved CSRs in the list.

If the CSRs were not approved, after all of the pending CSRs for the machines you added are in Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:
Note
Because the CSRs rotate automatically, approve your CSRs within an hour of adding the machines to the cluster. If you do not approve them within an hour, the certificates will rotate, and more than two certificates will be present for each node. You must approve all of these certificates. After the client CSR is approved, the Kubelet creates a secondary CSR for the serving certificate, which requires manual approval. Then, subsequent serving certificate renewal requests are automatically approved by the machine-approver if the Kubelet requests a new certificate with identical parameters.
Note
For clusters running on platforms that are not machine API enabled, such as bare metal and other user-provisioned infrastructure, you must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests (CSRs). If a request is not approved, then the oc exec, oc rsh, and oc logs commands cannot succeed, because a serving certificate is required when the API server connects to the kubelet. Any operation that contacts the Kubelet endpoint requires this certificate approval to be in place. The method must watch for new CSRs, confirm that the CSR was submitted by the node-bootstrapper service account in the system:node or system:admin groups, and confirm the identity of the node.
- To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
```
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
```
  1
  <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
- To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
```
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty oc adm certificate approve
```
  Note
  Some Operators might not become available until some CSRs are approved.

Now that your client requests are approved, you must review the server requests for each machine that you added to the cluster:

$ oc get csr

Example output

NAME        AGE     REQUESTOR                                                                   CONDITION
csr-bfd72   5m26s   system:node:ip-10-0-50-126.us-east-2.compute.internal                       Pending
csr-c57lv   5m26s   system:node:ip-10-0-95-157.us-east-2.compute.internal                       Pending
...

If the remaining CSRs are not approved, and are in the Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines:
- To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
```
$ oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1
```
  1
  <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs.
- To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command:
```
$ oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs oc adm certificate approve
```

After all client and server CSRs have been approved, the machines have the Ready status. Verify this by running the following command:

$ oc get nodes

Example output

NAME      STATUS    ROLES   AGE  VERSION
master-0  Ready     master  73m  v1.30.3
master-1  Ready     master  73m  v1.30.3
master-2  Ready     master  74m  v1.30.3
worker-0  Ready     worker  11m  v1.30.3
worker-1  Ready     worker  11m  v1.30.3

Note

It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status.

4.4.15. Initial Operator configuration

After the control plane initializes, you must immediately configure some Operators so that they all become available.

Prerequisites

Your control plane has initialized.

Procedure

Watch the cluster components come online:

$ watch -n5 oc get clusteroperators

Configure the Operators that are not available.

4.4.15.1. Disabling the default OperatorHub catalog sources

Operator catalogs that source content provided by Red Hat and community projects are configured for OperatorHub by default during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. In a restricted network environment, you must disable the default catalogs as a cluster administrator.

Procedure

Disable the sources for the default catalogs by adding disableAllDefaultSources: true to the OperatorHub object:

$ oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json \
    -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]'

Tip

Alternatively, you can use the web console to manage catalog sources. From the Administration Cluster Settings Configuration OperatorHub page, click the Sources tab, where you can create, update, delete, disable, and enable individual sources.

4.4.15.2. Image registry storage configuration

Additional instructions are provided for allowing the image registry to use block storage types by using the Recreate rollout strategy during upgrades.

4.4.15.2.1. Configuring registry storage for AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure

During installation, your cloud credentials are sufficient to create an Amazon S3 bucket and the Registry Operator will automatically configure storage.

If the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you can create an S3 bucket and configure storage with the following procedure.

Prerequisites

You have a cluster on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure.
For Amazon S3 storage, the secret is expected to contain two keys:
- REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY
- REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY

Procedure

Use the following procedure if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage.

Set up a Bucket Lifecycle Policy to abort incomplete multipart uploads that are one day old.

Fill in the storage configuration in configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster:

$ oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster

Example configuration

storage:
  s3:
    bucket: <bucket-name>
    region: <region-name>

Warning

To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket.

4.4.15.2.2. Configuring storage for the image registry in non-production clusters

Procedure

To set the image registry storage to an empty directory:
```
$ oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}'
```
Warning
Configure this option for only non-production clusters.
If you run this command before the Image Registry Operator initializes its components, the oc patch command fails with the following error:
```
Error from server (NotFound): configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io "cluster" not found
```
Wait a few minutes and run the command again.

4.4.16. Deleting the bootstrap resources

After you complete the initial Operator configuration for the cluster, remove the bootstrap resources from Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Prerequisites

You completed the initial Operator configuration for your cluster.

Procedure

Delete the bootstrap resources. If you used the CloudFormation template, delete its stack:
- Delete the stack by using the AWS CLI:
```
$ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <name> 1
```
  1
  <name> is the name of your bootstrap stack.
- Delete the stack by using the AWS CloudFormation console.

4.4.17. Creating the Ingress DNS Records

Prerequisites

You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provisioned.
You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
You installed the jq package.
You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix).

Procedure

Determine the routes to create.

To create a wildcard record, use *.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>, where <cluster_name> is your cluster name, and <domain_name> is the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

To create specific records, you must create a record for each route that your cluster uses, as shown in the output of the following command:

$ oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes

Example output

oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
downloads-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>
prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>

Retrieve the Ingress Operator load balancer status and note the value of the external IP address that it uses, which is shown in the EXTERNAL-IP column:

$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default

Example output

NAME             TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP                            PORT(S)                      AGE
router-default   LoadBalancer   172.30.62.215   ab3...28.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com   80:31499/TCP,443:30693/TCP   5m

Locate the hosted zone ID for the load balancer:
```
$ aws elb describe-load-balancers | jq -r '.LoadBalancerDescriptions[] | select(.DNSName == "<external_ip>").CanonicalHostedZoneNameID' 1
```
1
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer that you obtained.
Example output
```
Z3AADJGX6KTTL2
```
The output of this command is the load balancer hosted zone ID.
Obtain the public hosted zone ID for your cluster’s domain:
```
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \
            --dns-name "<domain_name>" \ 1
            --query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' 2
            --output text
```
1 2
For <domain_name>, specify the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Example output
```
/hostedzone/Z3URY6TWQ91KVV
```
The public hosted zone ID for your domain is shown in the command output. In this example, it is Z3URY6TWQ91KVV.
Add the alias records to your private zone:
```
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<private_hosted_zone_id>" --change-batch '{ 1
>   "Changes": [
>     {
>       "Action": "CREATE",
>       "ResourceRecordSet": {
>         "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2
>         "Type": "A",
>         "AliasTarget":{
>           "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3
>           "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4
>           "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   ]
> }'
```
1
For <private_hosted_zone_id>, specify the value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing.
2
For <cluster_domain>, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
3
For <hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained.
4
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.) in this parameter value.
Add the records to your public zone:
```
$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<public_hosted_zone_id>"" --change-batch '{ 1
>   "Changes": [
>     {
>       "Action": "CREATE",
>       "ResourceRecordSet": {
>         "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2
>         "Type": "A",
>         "AliasTarget":{
>           "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3
>           "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4
>           "EvaluateTargetHealth": false
>         }
>       }
>     }
>   ]
> }'
```
1
For <public_hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone for your domain.
2
For <cluster_domain>, specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
3
For <hosted_zone_id>, specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained.
4
For <external_ip>, specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period (.) in this parameter value.

4.4.18. Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure

After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion.

Prerequisites

You removed the bootstrap node for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure.
You installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation:
```
$ ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Example output
```
INFO Waiting up to 40m0s for the cluster at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443 to initialize...
INFO Waiting up to 10m0s for the openshift-console route to be created...
INFO Install complete!
INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig'
INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com
INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "password"
INFO Time elapsed: 1s
```
Important
- The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information.
- It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation.
Register your cluster on the Cluster registration page.

4.4.19. Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI

Prerequisites

You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
You installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

Export the kubeadmin credentials:
```
$ export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1
```
1
For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.
Verify you can run oc commands successfully using the exported configuration:
```
$ oc whoami
```
Example output
```
system:admin
```

4.4.20. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console

Prerequisites

You have access to the installation host.
You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available.

Procedure

Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host:
```
$ cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password
```
Note
Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host.
List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route:
```
$ oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift'
```
Note
Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host.
Example output
```
console     console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>            console     https   reencrypt/Redirect   None
```
Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user.

If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials.

4.5. Installing a cluster with the support for configuring multi-architecture compute machines

An OpenShift Container Platform cluster with multi-architecture compute machines supports compute machines with different architectures.

Note

When you have nodes with multiple architectures in your cluster, the architecture of your image must be consistent with the architecture of the node. You must ensure that the pod is assigned to the node with the appropriate architecture and that it matches the image architecture. For more information on assigning pods to nodes, see Scheduling workloads on clusters with multi-architecture compute machines.

You can install an AWS cluster with the support for configuring multi-architecture compute machines. After installing the AWS cluster, you can add multi-architecture compute machines to the cluster in the following ways:

Adding 64-bit x86 compute machines to a cluster that uses 64-bit ARM control plane machines and already includes 64-bit ARM compute machines. In this case, 64-bit x86 is considered the secondary architecture.
Adding 64-bit ARM compute machines to a cluster that uses 64-bit x86 control plane machines and already includes 64-bit x86 compute machines. In this case, 64-bit ARM is considered the secondary architecture.

Note

Before adding a secondary architecture node to your cluster, it is recommended to install the Multiarch Tuning Operator, and deploy a ClusterPodPlacementConfig custom resource. For more information, see "Managing workloads on multi-architecture clusters by using the Multiarch Tuning Operator".

4.5.1. Installing a cluster with multi-architecture support

You can install a cluster with the support for configuring multi-architecture compute machines.

Prerequisites

You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
You have the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
You downloaded the pull secret for your cluster.

Procedure

Check that the openshift-install binary is using the multi payload by running the following command:
```
$ ./openshift-install version
```
Example output
```
./openshift-install 4.17.0
built from commit abc123etc
release image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release@sha256:abc123wxyzetc
release architecture multi
default architecture amd64
```
The output must contain release architecture multi to indicate that the openshift-install binary is using the multi payload.
Update the install-config.yaml file to configure the architecture for the nodes.
Sample install-config.yaml file with multi-architecture configuration
```
apiVersion: v1
baseDomain: example.openshift.com
compute:
- architecture: amd64 1
  hyperthreading: Enabled
  name: worker
  platform: {}
  replicas: 3
controlPlane:
  architecture: arm64 2
  name: master
  platform: {}
  replicas: 3
# ...
```
1
Specify the architecture of the worker node. You can set this field to either arm64 or amd64.
2
Specify the control plane node architecture. You can set this field to either arm64 or amd64.
