Appendix E. Creating an AWS S3 Secret

In Red Hat OpenShift, one has the ability to store secrets and use them to authenticate with external services such as Amazon S3. This reference environment takes advantage of an Amazon S3 bucket to satisfy the ReadWriteMany requirement to run automation hub.

The following steps show how to create a secret within your Red Hat OpenShift cluster that is to be used during the Chapter 7, Installing automation hub chapter.

$ cat s3-secret.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: s3-secret
  namespace: aap
stringData:
  s3-access-key-id: my_key
  s3-secret-access-key: my_access_key
  s3-bucket-name: my_bucket
  s3-region: my_region

$ oc create -f s3-secret.yml
