1.11. Removing cloud provider credentials
After installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can remove the administrator-level credential secret from the kube-system
namespace in the cluster. The administrator-level credential is required only during changes that require its elevated permissions, such as upgrades.
Prior to a non z-stream upgrade, you must reinstate the credential secret with the administrator-level credential. If the credential is not present, the upgrade might be blocked.
Prerequisites
- Your cluster is installed on a platform that supports removing cloud credentials from the CCO.
Procedure

In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Workloads
Secrets. In the table on the Secrets page, find the
aws-creds
root secret for AWS.Platform Secret name AWS
aws-creds
- Click the Options menu in the same row as the secret and select Delete Secret.
