Chapter 2. Configuring a GCP project
Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it.
2.1. Creating a GCP project
To install OpenShift Container Platform, you must create a project in your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account to host the cluster.
Procedure
Create a project to host your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. See Creating and Managing Projects in the GCP documentation.
ImportantYour GCP project must use the Premium Network Service Tier if you are using installer-provisioned infrastructure. The Standard Network Service Tier is not supported for clusters installed using the installation program. The installation program configures internal load balancing for the
api-int.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>URL; the Premium Tier is required for internal load balancing.
2.2. Enabling API services in GCP
Your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project requires access to several API services to complete OpenShift Container Platform installation.
Prerequisites
- You created a project to host your cluster.
Procedure
Enable the following required API services in the project that hosts your cluster. You may also enable optional API services which are not required for installation. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation.

2.3. Configuring DNS for GCP
To install OpenShift Container Platform, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account you use must have a dedicated public hosted zone in the same project that you host the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. This zone must be authoritative for the domain. The DNS service provides cluster DNS resolution and name lookup for external connections to the cluster.
Procedure
Identify your domain, or subdomain, and registrar. You can transfer an existing domain and registrar or obtain a new one through GCP or another source.
NoteIf you purchase a new domain, it can take time for the relevant DNS changes to propagate. For more information about purchasing domains through Google, see Google Domains.
Create a public hosted zone for your domain or subdomain in your GCP project. See Creating public zones in the GCP documentation.
Use an appropriate root domain, such as
openshiftcorp.com, or subdomain, such asclusters.openshiftcorp.com.Extract the new authoritative name servers from the hosted zone records. See Look up your Cloud DNS name servers in the GCP documentation.
You typically have four name servers.
- Update the registrar records for the name servers that your domain uses. For example, if you registered your domain to Google Domains, see the following topic in the Google Domains Help: How to switch to custom name servers.
- If you migrated your root domain to Google Cloud DNS, migrate your DNS records. See Migrating to Cloud DNS in the GCP documentation.
- If you use a subdomain, follow your company’s procedures to add its delegation records to the parent domain. This process might include a request to your company’s IT department or the division that controls the root domain and DNS services for your company.
2.4. GCP account limits
The OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses a number of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) components, but the default Quotas do not affect your ability to install a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
A default cluster, which contains three compute and three control plane machines, uses the following resources. Note that some resources are required only during the bootstrap process and are removed after the cluster deploys.
| Service | Component | Location | Total resources required | Resources removed after bootstrap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Service account | IAM | Global | 6 | 1 |
| Firewall rules | Compute | Global | 11 | 1 |
| Forwarding rules | Compute | Global | 2 | 0 |
| In-use global IP addresses | Compute | Global | 4 | 1 |
| Health checks | Compute | Global | 3 | 0 |
| Images | Compute | Global | 1 | 0 |
| Networks | Compute | Global | 2 | 0 |
| Static IP addresses | Compute | Region | 4 | 1 |
| Routers | Compute | Global | 1 | 0 |
| Routes | Compute | Global | 2 | 0 |
| Subnetworks | Compute | Global | 2 | 0 |
| Target pools | Compute | Global | 3 | 0 |
| CPUs | Compute | Region | 28 | 4 |
| Persistent disk SSD (GB) | Compute | Region | 896 | 128 |
If any of the quotas are insufficient during installation, the installation program displays an error that states both which quota was exceeded and the region.
Be sure to consider your actual cluster size, planned cluster growth, and any usage from other clusters that are associated with your account. The CPU, static IP addresses, and persistent disk SSD (storage) quotas are the ones that are most likely to be insufficient.
If you plan to deploy your cluster in one of the following regions, you will exceed the maximum storage quota and are likely to exceed the CPU quota limit:
-
asia-east2 -
asia-northeast2 -
asia-south1 -
australia-southeast1 -
europe-north1 -
europe-west2 -
europe-west3 -
europe-west6 -
northamerica-northeast1 -
southamerica-east1 -
us-west2
You can increase resource quotas from the GCP console, but you might need to file a support ticket. Be sure to plan your cluster size early so that you can allow time to resolve the support ticket before you install your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
2.5. Creating a service account in GCP
OpenShift Container Platform requires a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service account that provides authentication and authorization to access data in the Google APIs. If you do not have an existing IAM service account that contains the required roles in your project, you must create one.
Prerequisites
- You created a project to host your cluster.
Procedure
- Create a service account in the project that you use to host your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. See Creating a service account in the GCP documentation.
Grant the service account the appropriate permissions. You can either grant the individual permissions that follow or assign the
Ownerrole to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources.NoteWhile making the service account an owner of the project is the easiest way to gain the required permissions, it means that service account has complete control over the project. You must determine if the risk that comes from offering that power is acceptable.
You can create the service account key in JSON format, or attach the service account to a GCP virtual machine. See Creating service account keys and Creating and enabling service accounts for instances in the GCP documentation.
NoteIf you use a virtual machine with an attached service account to create your cluster, you must set
credentialsMode: Manualin theinstall-config.yamlfile before installation.
2.5.1. Required GCP roles
When you attach the Owner role to the service account that you create, you grant that service account all permissions, including those that are required to install OpenShift Container Platform. If your organization’s security policies require a more restrictive set of permissions, you can create a service account with the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing virtual private cloud (VPC), the service account does not require certain networking permissions, which are noted in the following lists:
Required roles for the installation program
- Compute Admin
- Role Administrator
- Security Admin
- Service Account Admin
- Service Account Key Admin
- Service Account User
- Storage Admin
Required roles for creating network resources during installation
- DNS Administrator
Required roles for using the Cloud Credential Operator in passthrough mode
- Compute Load Balancer Admin
The following roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use:
| Account | Roles |
|---|---|
| Control Plane |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Compute |
|
|
| |
|
|
2.5.2. Required GCP permissions for installer-provisioned infrastructure
When you attach the Owner role to the service account that you create, you grant that service account all permissions, including those that are required to install OpenShift Container Platform.
If your organization’s security policies require a more restrictive set of permissions, you can create custom roles with the necessary permissions. The following permissions are required for the installer-provisioned infrastructure for creating and deleting the OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

2.5.3. Required GCP permissions for shared VPC installations
When you are installing a cluster to a shared VPC, you must configure the service account for both the host project and the service project. If you are not installing to a shared VPC, you can skip this section.
You must apply the minimum roles required for a standard installation as listed above, to the service project.
You can use granular permissions for a Cloud Credential Operator that operates in either manual or mint credentials mode. You cannot use granular permissions in passthrough credentials mode.
Ensure that the host project applies one of the following configurations to the service account:
Example 2.22. Required permissions for creating firewalls in the host project
-
projects/<host-project>/roles/dns.networks.bindPrivateDNSZone -
roles/compute.networkAdmin -
roles/compute.securityAdmin
Example 2.23. Required permissions for deleting firewalls in the host project
-
compute.firewalls.delete -
compute.networks.updatePolicy
Example 2.24. Required minimal permissions
-
projects/<host-project>/roles/dns.networks.bindPrivateDNSZone -
roles/compute.networkUser
If you do not supply a service account for control plane nodes in the install-config.yaml file, please grant the below permissions to the service account in the host project.
-
resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy -
resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy
2.5.4. Required GCP permissions for user-provided service accounts
When you are installing a cluster, the compute and control plane nodes require their own service accounts. By default, the installation program creates a service account for the control plane and compute nodes. The service account that the installation program uses requires the roles and permissions that are listed in the Creating a service account in GCP section, as well as the resourcemanager.projects.getIamPolicy and resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicy permissions. These permissions should be applied to the service account in the host project. If this approach does not meet the security requirements of your organization, you can provide a service account email address for the control plane or compute nodes in the install-config.yaml file. For more information, see the Installation configuration parameters for GCP page. If you provide a service account for control plane nodes during an installation into a shared VPC, you must grant that service account the roles/compute.networkUser role in the host project. If you want the installation program to automatically create firewall rules when you supply the control plane service account, you must grant that service account the roles/compute.networkAdmin and roles/compute.securityAdmin roles in the host project. If you only supply the roles/compute.networkUser role, you must create the firewall rules manually.
The following roles are required for user-provided service accounts for control plane and compute nodes respectively.
Example 2.25. Required roles for control plane nodes
-
roles/compute.instanceAdmin -
roles/compute.networkAdmin -
roles/compute.securityAdmin -
roles/storage.admin
Example 2.26. Required roles for compute nodes
-
roles/compute.viewer -
roles/storage.admin -
roles/artifactregistry.reader
