Chapter 7. Installing on GCP 7.1. Preparing to install on GCP 7.1.1. 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 . 7.1.2. Requirements for installing OpenShift Container Platform on GCP Before installing OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you must create a service account and configure a GCP project. See Configuring a GCP project for details about creating a project, enabling API services, configuring DNS, GCP account limits, and supported GCP regions. 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, see Manually creating IAM for GCP for other options. 7.1.3. Choosing a method to install OpenShift Container Platform on GCP You can install OpenShift Container Platform on installer-provisioned or user-provisioned infrastructure. The default installation type uses installer-provisioned infrastructure, where the installation program provisions the underlying infrastructure for the cluster. You can also install OpenShift Container Platform on infrastructure that you provision. If you do not use infrastructure that the installation program provisions, you must manage and maintain the cluster resources yourself. See Installation process for more information about installer-provisioned and user-provisioned installation processes. 7.1.3.1. Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on GCP infrastructure that is provisioned by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster quickly on GCP : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on GCP infrastructure that is provisioned by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. You can install a cluster quickly by using the default configuration options. Installing a customized cluster on GCP : You can install a customized cluster on GCP infrastructure that the installation program provisions. The installation program allows for some customization to be applied at the installation stage. Many other customization options are available post-installation . Installing a cluster on GCP with network customizations : You can customize your OpenShift Container Platform network configuration during installation, so that your cluster can coexist with your existing IP address allocations and adhere to your network requirements. Installing a cluster on GCP in a restricted network : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on GCP on installer-provisioned infrastructure by using an internal mirror of the installation release content. You can use this method to install a cluster that does not require an active internet connection to obtain the software components. While you can install OpenShift Container Platform by using the mirrored content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the GCP APIs. Installing a cluster into an existing Virtual Private Cloud : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on an existing GCP Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can use this installation method if you have constraints set by the guidelines of your company, such as limits on creating new accounts or infrastructure. Installing a private cluster on an existing VPC : You can install a private cluster on an existing GCP VPC. You can use this method to deploy OpenShift Container Platform on an internal network that is not visible to the internet. 7.1.3.2. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on GCP infrastructure that you provision, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster on GCP with user-provisioned infrastructure : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on GCP infrastructure that you provide. You can use the provided Deployment Manager templates to assist with the installation. Installing a cluster with shared VPC on user-provisioned infrastructure in GCP : You can use the provided Deployment Manager templates to create GCP resources in a shared VPC infrastructure. Installing a cluster on GCP in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on GCP in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure. By creating an internal mirror of the installation release content, you can install a cluster that does not require an active internet connection to obtain the software components. You can also use this installation method to ensure that your clusters only use container images that satisfy your organizational controls on external content. 7.1.4. steps Configuring a GCP project 7.2. Configuring a GCP project Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it. 7.2.1. 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. Important Your 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. 7.2.2. 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. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation. Table 7.1. Required API services API service Console service name Compute Engine API compute.googleapis.com Google Cloud APIs cloudapis.googleapis.com Cloud Resource Manager API cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com Google DNS API dns.googleapis.com IAM Service Account Credentials API iamcredentials.googleapis.com Identity and Access Management (IAM) API iam.googleapis.com Service Management API servicemanagement.googleapis.com Service Usage API serviceusage.googleapis.com Google Cloud Storage JSON API storage-api.googleapis.com Cloud Storage storage-component.googleapis.com 7.2.3. 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. Note If 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 as clusters.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. 7.2.4. 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. Table 7.2. GCP resources used in a default cluster Service Component Location Total resources required Resources removed after bootstrap Service account IAM Global 5 0 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 Note 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. 7.2.5. 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 Owner role to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources . Note While 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. Create the service account key in JSON format. See Creating service account keys in the GCP documentation. The service account key is required to create a cluster. 7.2.5.1. Required GCP permissions 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. To deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the service account requires the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing 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 Security Admin Service Account Admin Service Account User Storage Admin Required roles for creating network resources during installation DNS Administrator Optional roles For the cluster to create new limited credentials for its Operators, add the following role: Service Account Key Admin The roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use: Table 7.3. GCP service account permissions Account Roles Control Plane roles/compute.instanceAdmin roles/compute.networkAdmin roles/compute.securityAdmin roles/storage.admin roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Compute roles/compute.viewer roles/storage.admin 7.2.6. Supported GCP regions You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the following Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions: asia-east1 (Changhua County, Taiwan) asia-east2 (Hong Kong) asia-northeast1 (Tokyo, Japan) asia-northeast2 (Osaka, Japan) asia-northeast3 (Seoul, South Korea) asia-south1 (Mumbai, India) asia-southeast1 (Jurong West, Singapore) asia-southeast2 (Jakarta, Indonesia) australia-southeast1 (Sydney, Australia) europe-central2 (Warsaw, Poland) europe-north1 (Hamina, Finland) europe-west1 (St. Ghislain, Belgium) europe-west2 (London, England, UK) europe-west3 (Frankfurt, Germany) europe-west4 (Eemshaven, Netherlands) europe-west6 (Zurich, Switzerland) northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) southamerica-east1 (Sao Paulo, Brazil) us-central1 (Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA) us-east1 (Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA) us-east4 (Ashburn, Northern Virginia, USA) us-west1 (The Dalles, Oregon, USA) us-west2 (Los Angeles, California, USA) us-west3 (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) us-west4 (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) 7.2.7. steps Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on GCP. You can install a customized cluster or quickly install a cluster with default options. 7.3. Manually creating IAM for GCP In environments where the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not reachable, or the administrator prefers not to store an administrator-level credential secret in the cluster kube-system namespace, you can put the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) into manual mode before you install the cluster. 7.3.1. Alternatives to storing administrator-level secrets in the kube-system project The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) manages cloud provider credentials as Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs). You can configure the CCO to suit the security requirements of your organization by setting different values for the credentialsMode parameter in the install-config.yaml file. If you prefer not to store an administrator-level credential secret in the cluster kube-system project, you can choose one of the following options when installing OpenShift Container Platform: Manage cloud credentials manually : You can set the credentialsMode parameter for the CCO to Manual to manage cloud credentials manually. Using manual mode allows each cluster component to have only the permissions it requires, without storing an administrator-level credential in the cluster. You can also use this mode if your environment does not have connectivity to the cloud provider public IAM endpoint. However, you must manually reconcile permissions with new release images for every upgrade. You must also manually supply credentials for every component that requests them. Remove the administrator-level credential secret after installing OpenShift Container Platform with mint mode : If you are using the CCO with the credentialsMode parameter set to Mint , you can remove or rotate the administrator-level credential after installing OpenShift Container Platform. Mint mode is the default configuration for the CCO. This option requires the presence of the administrator-level credential during an installation. The administrator-level credential is used during the installation to mint other credentials with some permissions granted. The original credential secret is not stored in the cluster permanently. Note 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. Additional resources Rotating or removing cloud provider credentials . For a detailed description of all available CCO credential modes and their supported platforms, see About the Cloud Credential Operator . 7.3.2. Manually create IAM The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) can be put into manual mode prior to installation in environments where the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not reachable, or the administrator prefers not to store an administrator-level credential secret in the cluster kube-system namespace. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create the install-config.yaml file by running the following command: USD openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> where <installation_directory> is the directory in which the installation program creates files. Edit the install-config.yaml configuration file so that it contains the credentialsMode parameter set to Manual . Example install-config.yaml configuration file apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: cluster1.example.com credentialsMode: Manual 1 compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled ... 1 This line is added to set the credentialsMode parameter to Manual . To generate the manifests, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program: USD openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> where <installation_directory> is the directory in which the installation program creates files. From the directory that contains the installation program, obtain details of the OpenShift Container Platform release image that your openshift-install binary is built to use by running the following command: USD openshift-install version Example output release image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.y.z-x86_64 Locate all CredentialsRequest objects in this release image that target the cloud you are deploying on by running the following command: USD oc adm release extract quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.y.z-x86_64 \ --credentials-requests \ --cloud=gcp This command creates a YAML file for each CredentialsRequest object. Sample CredentialsRequest object apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 kind: CredentialsRequest metadata: name: <component-credentials-request> namespace: openshift-cloud-credential-operator ... spec: providerSpec: apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 kind: GCPProviderSpec predefinedRoles: - roles/storage.admin - roles/iam.serviceAccountUser skipServiceCheck: true ... Create YAML files for secrets in the openshift-install manifests directory that you generated previously. The secrets must be stored using the namespace and secret name defined in the spec.secretRef for each CredentialsRequest object. Sample CredentialsRequest object with secrets apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 kind: CredentialsRequest metadata: name: <component-credentials-request> namespace: openshift-cloud-credential-operator ... spec: providerSpec: apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 ... secretRef: name: <component-secret> namespace: <component-namespace> ... Sample Secret object apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: <component-secret> namespace: <component-namespace> data: service_account.json: <base64_encoded_gcp_service_account_file> Important Before upgrading a cluster that uses manually maintained credentials, you must ensure that the CCO is in an upgradeable state. For details, see the "Upgrading clusters with manually maintained credentials" section of the installation content for your cloud provider. 7.3.3. Upgrading clusters with manually maintained credentials The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) Upgradable status for a cluster with manually maintained credentials is False by default. For minor releases, for example, from 4.8 to 4.9, this status prevents you from upgrading until you have addressed any updated permissions and annotated the CloudCredential resource to indicate that the permissions are updated as needed for the version. This annotation changes the Upgradable status to True . For z-stream releases, for example, from 4.9.0 to 4.9.1, no permissions are added or changed, so the upgrade is not blocked. Before upgrading a cluster with manually maintained credentials, you must create any new credentials for the release image that you are upgrading to. Additionally, you must review the required permissions for existing credentials and accommodate any new permissions requirements in the new release for those components. Procedure Extract and examine the CredentialsRequest custom resource for the new release. The "Manually creating IAM" section of the installation content for your cloud provider explains how to obtain and use the credentials required for your cloud. Update the manually maintained credentials on your cluster: Create new secrets for any CredentialsRequest custom resources that are added by the new release image. If the CredentialsRequest custom resources for any existing credentials that are stored in secrets have changed their permissions requirements, update the permissions as required. When all of the secrets are correct for the new release, indicate that the cluster is ready to upgrade: Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform CLI as a user with the cluster-admin role. Edit the CloudCredential resource to add an upgradeable-to annotation within the metadata field: USD oc edit cloudcredential cluster Text to add ... metadata: annotations: cloudcredential.openshift.io/upgradeable-to: <version_number> ... Where <version_number> is the version you are upgrading to, in the format x.y.z . For example, 4.8.2 for OpenShift Container Platform 4.8.2. It may take several minutes after adding the annotation for the upgradeable status to change. Verify that the CCO is upgradeable: In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Administration Cluster Settings . To view the CCO status details, click cloud-credential in the Cluster Operators list. If the Upgradeable status in the Conditions section is False , verify that the upgradeable-to annotation is free of typographical errors. When the Upgradeable status in the Conditions section is True , you can begin the OpenShift Container Platform upgrade. 7.3.4. Mint mode Mint mode is the default Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) credentials mode for OpenShift Container Platform. In this mode, the CCO uses the provided administrator-level cloud credential to run the cluster. Mint mode is supported for AWS and GCP. In mint mode, the admin credential is stored in the kube-system namespace and then used by the CCO to process the CredentialsRequest objects in the cluster and create users for each with specific permissions. The benefits of mint mode include: Each cluster component has only the permissions it requires Automatic, on-going reconciliation for cloud credentials, including additional credentials or permissions that might be required for upgrades One drawback is that mint mode requires admin credential storage in a cluster kube-system secret. 7.3.5. Mint mode with removal or rotation of the administrator-level credential Currently, this mode is only supported on AWS and GCP. In this mode, a user installs OpenShift Container Platform with an administrator-level credential just like the normal mint mode. However, this process removes the administrator-level credential secret from the cluster post-installation. The administrator can have the Cloud Credential Operator make its own request for a read-only credential that allows it to verify if all CredentialsRequest objects have their required permissions, thus the administrator-level credential is not required unless something needs to be changed. After the associated credential is removed, it can be deleted or deactivated on the underlying cloud, if desired. Note 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. The administrator-level credential is not stored in the cluster permanently. Following these steps still requires the administrator-level credential in the cluster for brief periods of time. It also requires manually re-instating the secret with administrator-level credentials for each upgrade. 7.3.6. steps Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Installing a cluster quickly on GCP with default options on installer-provisioned infrastructure Install a cluster with cloud customizations on installer-provisioned infrastructure Install a cluster with network customizations on installer-provisioned infrastructure 7.4. Installing a cluster quickly on GCP In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses the default configuration options. 7.4.1. 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 configured a GCP project to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. 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 IAM credentials . 7.4.2. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.4.3. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.4.4. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will 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 files are required to delete the cluster. Important 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: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the 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. 7.4.5. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Remove any existing GCP credentials that do not use the service account key for the GCP account that you configured for your cluster and that are stored in the following locations: The GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS , GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON , or GCLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON environment variables The ~/.gcp/osServiceAccount.json file The gcloud cli default credentials Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name to store the files that the installation program creates. 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . 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. Provide values at the prompts: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. If you provide a name that is longer than 6 characters, only the first 6 characters will be used in the infrastructure ID that is generated from the cluster name. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. Optional: You can reduce the number of permissions for the service account that you used to install the cluster. If you assigned the Owner role to your service account, you can remove that role and replace it with the Viewer role. If you included the Service Account Key Admin role, you can remove it. 7.4.6. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.4.7. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 7.4.8. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.4.9. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.5. Installing a cluster on GCP with customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a customized cluster on infrastructure that the installation program provisions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. 7.5.1. 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 a GCP project to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. 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 IAM credentials . 7.5.2. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.5.3. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.5.4. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will 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 files are required to delete the cluster. Important 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: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the 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. 7.5.5. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Modify the install-config.yaml file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.5.5.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. Important The openshift-install command does not validate field names for parameters. If an incorrect name is specified, the related file or object is not created, and no error is reported. Ensure that the field names for any parameters that are specified are correct. 7.5.5.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.4. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer may also support older API versions.

The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. If you are installing on GCP into a shared virtual private cloud (VPC), credentialsMode must be set to Passthrough . Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

This value defaults to the VM project ID if not set. The GCP project ID. 7.5.5.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.8. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.5.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . As part of the installation process, you specify the custom machine type in the install-config.yaml file. Sample install-config.yaml file with a custom machine type compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 2 controlPlane: architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 3 7.5.5.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-ssd diskSizeGB: 1024 encryptionKey: 5 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 compute: 6 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-standard diskSizeGB: 128 encryptionKey: 9 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 10 networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 11 region: us-central1 12 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 13 fips: false 14 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 15 1 10 11 12 13 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 6 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 7 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 8 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 5 9 Optional: The custom encryption key section to encrypt both virtual machines and persistent volumes. Your default compute service account must have the permissions granted to use your KMS key and have the correct IAM role assigned. The default service account name follows the service-<project_number>@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com pattern. For more information on granting the correct permissions for your service account, see "Machine management" "Creating machine sets" "Creating a machine set on GCP". 14 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 15 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. Additional resources Enabling customer-managed encryption keys for a machine set 7.5.5.5. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.5.6. Using a GCP Marketplace image If you want to deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using a GCP Marketplace image, you must create the manifests and edit the compute machine set definitions to specify the GCP Marketplace image. Prerequisites You have the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Generate the installation manifests by running the following command: USD openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_dir> Locate the following files: <installation_dir>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-0.yaml <installation_dir>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-1.yaml <installation_dir>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-2.yaml In each file, edit the .spec.template.spec.providerSpec.value.disks[0].image property to reference the offer to use: OpenShift Container Platform projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-ocp-48-x86-64-202210040145 OpenShift Platform Plus projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-opp-48-x86-64-202206140145 OpenShift Kubernetes Engine projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-oke-48-x86-64-202206140145 Example compute machine set with the GCP Marketplace image deletionProtection: false disks: - autoDelete: true boot: true image: projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-ocp-48-x86-64-202210040145 labels: null sizeGb: 128 type: pd-ssd kind: GCPMachineProviderSpec machineType: n2-standard-4 7.5.7. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Remove any existing GCP credentials that do not use the service account key for the GCP account that you configured for your cluster and that are stored in the following locations: The GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS , GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON , or GCLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON environment variables The ~/.gcp/osServiceAccount.json file The gcloud cli default credentials Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the location of your customized ./install-config.yaml file. 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. Optional: You can reduce the number of permissions for the service account that you used to install the cluster. If you assigned the Owner role to your service account, you can remove that role and replace it with the Viewer role. If you included the Service Account Key Admin role, you can remove it. 7.5.8. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.5.9. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 7.5.10. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.5.11. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.6. Installing a cluster on GCP with network customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster with a customized network configuration on infrastructure that the installation program provisions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By customizing your network configuration, your cluster can coexist with existing IP address allocations in your environment and integrate with existing MTU and VXLAN configurations. To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. You must set most of the network configuration parameters during installation, and you can modify only kubeProxy configuration parameters in a running cluster. 7.6.1. 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 a GCP project to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. 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 IAM credentials . 7.6.2. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.6.3. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.6.4. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will 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 files are required to delete the cluster. Important 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: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the 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. 7.6.5. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Modify the install-config.yaml file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.6.5.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. Important The openshift-install command does not validate field names for parameters. If an incorrect name is specified, the related file or object is not created, and no error is reported. Ensure that the field names for any parameters that are specified are correct. 7.6.5.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.9. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer may also support older API versions. String baseDomain The base domain of your cloud provider. The base domain is used to create routes to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster components.

Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.13. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.6.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . As part of the installation process, you specify the custom machine type in the install-config.yaml file. Sample install-config.yaml file with a custom machine type compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 2 controlPlane: architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 3 7.6.5.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-ssd diskSizeGB: 1024 encryptionKey: 5 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 compute: 6 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-standard diskSizeGB: 128 encryptionKey: 9 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 10 networking: 11 clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 12 region: us-central1 13 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 14 fips: false 15 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 16 1 10 12 13 14 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 6 11 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 7 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 8 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 5 9 Optional: The custom encryption key section to encrypt both virtual machines and persistent volumes. Your default compute service account must have the permissions granted to use your KMS key and have the correct IAM role assigned. The default service account name follows the service-<project_number>@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com pattern. For more information on granting the correct permissions for your service account, see "Machine management" "Creating machine sets" "Creating a machine set on GCP". 15 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 16 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. 7.6.6. Additional resources Enabling customer-managed encryption keys for a machine set 7.6.6.1. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.6.7. Network configuration phases There are two phases prior to OpenShift Container Platform installation where you can customize the network configuration. Phase 1 You can customize the following network-related fields in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifest files: networking.networkType networking.clusterNetwork networking.serviceNetwork networking.machineNetwork For more information on these fields, refer to Installation configuration parameters . Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the CIDR that the preferred NIC resides in. Phase 2 After creating the manifest files by running openshift-install create manifests , you can define a customized Cluster Network Operator manifest with only the fields you want to modify. You can use the manifest to specify advanced network configuration. You cannot override the values specified in phase 1 in the install-config.yaml file during phase 2. However, you can further customize the cluster network provider during phase 2. 7.6.8. Specifying advanced network configuration You can use advanced network configuration for your cluster network provider to integrate your cluster into your existing network environment. You can specify advanced network configuration only before you install the cluster. Important Customizing your network configuration by modifying the OpenShift Container Platform manifest files created by the installation program is not supported. Applying a manifest file that you create, as in the following procedure, is supported. Prerequisites You have created the install-config.yaml file and completed any modifications to it. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create the manifests: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 <installation_directory> specifies the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a stub manifest file for the advanced network configuration that is named cluster-network-03-config.yml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: Specify the advanced network configuration for your cluster in the cluster-network-03-config.yml file, such as in the following examples: Specify a different VXLAN port for the OpenShift SDN network provider apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNetwork: openshiftSDNConfig: vxlanPort: 4800 Enable IPsec for the OVN-Kubernetes network provider apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNetwork: ovnKubernetesConfig: ipsecConfig: {} Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml file. The installation program consumes the manifests/ directory when you create the Ignition config files. 7.6.9. Cluster Network Operator configuration The configuration for the cluster network is specified as part of the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration and stored in a custom resource (CR) object that is named cluster . The CR specifies the fields for the Network API in the operator.openshift.io API group. The CNO configuration inherits the following fields during cluster installation from the Network API in the Network.config.openshift.io API group and these fields cannot be changed: clusterNetwork IP address pools from which pod IP addresses are allocated. serviceNetwork IP address pool for services. defaultNetwork.type Cluster network provider, such as OpenShift SDN or OVN-Kubernetes. You can specify the cluster network provider configuration for your cluster by setting the fields for the defaultNetwork object in the CNO object named cluster . 7.6.9.1. Cluster Network Operator configuration object The fields for the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) are described in the following table: Table 7.14. Cluster Network Operator configuration object Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CNO object. This name is always cluster . spec.clusterNetwork array A list specifying the blocks of IP addresses from which pod IP addresses are allocated and the subnet prefix length assigned to each individual node in the cluster. For example: spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 - cidr: 10.128.32.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 You can customize this field only in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifests. The value is read-only in the manifest file. spec.serviceNetwork array A block of IP addresses for services. The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) network providers support only a single IP address block for the service network. For example: spec: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/14 You can customize this field only in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifests. The value is read-only in the manifest file. spec.defaultNetwork object Configures the Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider for the cluster network. spec.kubeProxyConfig object The fields for this object specify the kube-proxy configuration. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network provider, the kube-proxy configuration has no effect. defaultNetwork object configuration The values for the defaultNetwork object are defined in the following table: Table 7.15. defaultNetwork object Field Type Description type string Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . The cluster network provider is selected during installation. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. Note OpenShift Container Platform uses the OpenShift SDN Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider by default. openshiftSDNConfig object This object is only valid for the OpenShift SDN cluster network provider. ovnKubernetesConfig object This object is only valid for the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network provider. Configuration for the OpenShift SDN CNI cluster network provider The following table describes the configuration fields for the OpenShift SDN Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider. Table 7.16. openshiftSDNConfig object Field Type Description mode string Configures the network isolation mode for OpenShift SDN. The default value is NetworkPolicy . The values Multitenant and Subnet are available for backwards compatibility with OpenShift Container Platform 3.x but are not recommended. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the VXLAN overlay network. This is detected automatically based on the MTU of the primary network interface. You do not normally need to override the detected MTU. If the auto-detected value is not what you expect it to be, confirm that the MTU on the primary network interface on your nodes is correct. You cannot use this option to change the MTU value of the primary network interface on the nodes. If your cluster requires different MTU values for different nodes, you must set this value to 50 less than the lowest MTU value in your cluster. For example, if some nodes in your cluster have an MTU of 9001 , and some have an MTU of 1500 , you must set this value to 1450 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. vxlanPort integer The port to use for all VXLAN packets. The default value is 4789 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. If you are running in a virtualized environment with existing nodes that are part of another VXLAN network, then you might be required to change this. For example, when running an OpenShift SDN overlay on top of VMware NSX-T, you must select an alternate port for the VXLAN, because both SDNs use the same default VXLAN port number. On Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can select an alternate port for the VXLAN between port 9000 and port 9999 . Example OpenShift SDN configuration defaultNetwork: type: OpenShiftSDN openshiftSDNConfig: mode: NetworkPolicy mtu: 1450 vxlanPort: 4789 Configuration for the OVN-Kubernetes CNI cluster network provider The following table describes the configuration fields for the OVN-Kubernetes CNI cluster network provider. Table 7.17. ovnKubernetesConfig object Field Type Description mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) overlay network. This is detected automatically based on the MTU of the primary network interface. You do not normally need to override the detected MTU. If the auto-detected value is not what you expect it to be, confirm that the MTU on the primary network interface on your nodes is correct. You cannot use this option to change the MTU value of the primary network interface on the nodes. If your cluster requires different MTU values for different nodes, you must set this value to 100 less than the lowest MTU value in your cluster. For example, if some nodes in your cluster have an MTU of 9001 , and some have an MTU of 1500 , you must set this value to 1400 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. genevePort integer The port to use for all Geneve packets. The default value is 6081 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. ipsecConfig object Specify an empty object to enable IPsec encryption. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. policyAuditConfig object Specify a configuration object for customizing network policy audit logging. If unset, the defaults audit log settings are used. Table 7.18. policyAuditConfig object Field Type Description rateLimit integer The maximum number of messages to generate every second per node. The default value is 20 messages per second. maxFileSize integer The maximum size for the audit log in bytes. The default value is 50000000 or 50 MB. destination string One of the following additional audit log targets: libc The libc syslog() function of the journald process on the host. udp:<host>:<port> A syslog server. Replace <host>:<port> with the host and port of the syslog server. unix:<file> A Unix Domain Socket file specified by <file> . null Do not send the audit logs to any additional target. syslogFacility string The syslog facility, such as kern , as defined by RFC5424. The default value is local0 . Example OVN-Kubernetes configuration defaultNetwork: type: OVNKubernetes ovnKubernetesConfig: mtu: 1400 genevePort: 6081 ipsecConfig: {} kubeProxyConfig object configuration The values for the kubeProxyConfig object are defined in the following table: Table 7.19. kubeProxyConfig object Field Type Description iptablesSyncPeriod string The refresh period for iptables rules. The default value is 30s . Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package documentation. Note Because of performance improvements introduced in OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 and greater, adjusting the iptablesSyncPeriod parameter is no longer necessary. proxyArguments.iptables-min-sync-period array The minimum duration before refreshing iptables rules. This field ensures that the refresh does not happen too frequently. Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package . The default value is: kubeProxyConfig: proxyArguments: iptables-min-sync-period: - 0s 7.6.10. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. 7.6.11. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.6.12. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 7.6.13. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.6.14. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.7. Installing a cluster on GCP in a restricted network In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in a restricted network by creating an internal mirror of the installation release content on an existing Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Important You can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using mirrored installation release content, but your cluster will require internet access to use the GCP APIs. 7.7.1. 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 mirrored the images for a disconnected installation to your registry 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 have an existing VPC in GCP. While installing a cluster in a restricted network that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure, you cannot use the installer-provisioned VPC. You must use a user-provisioned VPC that satisfies one of the following requirements: Contains the mirror registry Has firewall rules or a peering connection to access the mirror registry hosted elsewhere If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. While you might need to grant access to more sites, you must grant access to *.googleapis.com and accounts.google.com . 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 IAM credentials . 7.7.2. About installations in restricted networks In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 or on VMware vSphere. To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift Container Platform 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. 7.7.2.1. 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. 7.7.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you require access to the internet to obtain the images that are necessary 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. 7.7.4. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.7.5. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host. Have the imageContentSources values that were generated during mirror registry creation. Obtain the contents of the certificate for your mirror registry. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Edit the install-config.yaml file to provide the additional information that is required for an installation in a restricted network. Update the pullSecret value to contain the authentication information for your registry: pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<mirror_host_name>:5000": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' For <mirror_host_name> , specify the registry domain name that you specified in the certificate for your mirror registry, and for <credentials> , specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry. Add the additionalTrustBundle parameter and value. additionalTrustBundle: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -----END CERTIFICATE----- The value must be the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry, which can be an existing, trusted certificate authority or the self-signed certificate that you generated for the mirror registry. Define the network and subnets for the VPC to install the cluster in under the parent platform.gcp field: network: <existing_vpc> controlPlaneSubnet: <control_plane_subnet> computeSubnet: <compute_subnet> For platform.gcp.network , specify the name for the existing Google VPC. For platform.gcp.controlPlaneSubnet and platform.gcp.computeSubnet , specify the existing subnets to deploy the control plane machines and compute machines, respectively. Add the image content resources, which look like this excerpt: imageContentSources: - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: registry.redhat.io/ocp/release To complete these values, use the imageContentSources that you recorded during mirror registry creation. Make any other modifications to the install-config.yaml file that you require. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.7.5.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. Important The openshift-install command does not validate field names for parameters. If an incorrect name is specified, the related file or object is not created, and no error is reported. Ensure that the field names for any parameters that are specified are correct. 7.7.5.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.20. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer may also support older API versions.

This value defaults to the VM project ID if not set. The GCP project ID. 7.7.5.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.24. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.7.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . As part of the installation process, you specify the custom machine type in the install-config.yaml file. Sample install-config.yaml file with a custom machine type compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 2 controlPlane: architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 3 7.7.5.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-ssd diskSizeGB: 1024 encryptionKey: 5 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 compute: 6 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-standard diskSizeGB: 128 encryptionKey: 9 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 10 networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 11 region: us-central1 12 network: existing_vpc 13 controlPlaneSubnet: control_plane_subnet 14 computeSubnet: compute_subnet 15 pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<local_registry>": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' 16 fips: false 17 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 18 additionalTrustBundle: | 19 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- imageContentSources: 20 - 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 1 10 11 12 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 6 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 7 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 8 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 5 9 Optional: The custom encryption key section to encrypt both virtual machines and persistent volumes. Your default compute service account must have the permissions granted to use your KMS key and have the correct IAM role assigned. The default service account name follows the service-<project_number>@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com pattern. For more information on granting the correct permissions for your service account, see "Machine management" "Creating machine sets" "Creating a machine set on GCP". 13 Specify the name of an existing VPC. 14 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the control plane machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 15 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the compute machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 16 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. 17 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 18 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. 19 Provide the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry. 20 Provide the imageContentSources section from the output of the command to mirror the repository. 7.7.5.5. Create an Ingress Controller with global access on GCP You can create an Ingress Controller that has global access to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cluster. Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. Prerequisites You created the install-config.yaml and complete any modifications to it. Procedure Create an Ingress Controller with global access on a new GCP cluster. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create a manifest file: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a file that is named cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: USD touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the manifests/ directory, as shown: USD ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Example output cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Open the cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file in an editor and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Operator configuration you want: Sample clientAccess configuration to Global apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: providerParameters: gcp: clientAccess: Global 1 type: GCP scope: Internal 2 type: LoadBalancerService 1 Set gcp.clientAccess to Global . 2 Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. 7.7.5.6. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.7.6. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Remove any existing GCP credentials that do not use the service account key for the GCP account that you configured for your cluster and that are stored in the following locations: The GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS , GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON , or GCLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON environment variables The ~/.gcp/osServiceAccount.json file The gcloud cli default credentials Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the location of your customized ./install-config.yaml file. 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. Optional: You can reduce the number of permissions for the service account that you used to install the cluster. If you assigned the Owner role to your service account, you can remove that role and replace it with the Viewer role. If you included the Service Account Key Admin role, you can remove it. 7.7.7. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.7.8. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin 7.7.9. Disabling the default OperatorHub 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: USD 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, delete, disable, and enable individual sources. 7.7.10. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.7.11. steps Validate an installation . Customize your cluster . Configure image streams for the Cluster Samples Operator and the must-gather tool. Learn how to use Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) on restricted networks . If the mirror registry that you used to install your cluster has a trusted CA, add it to the cluster by configuring additional trust stores . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.8. Installing a cluster on GCP into an existing VPC In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster into an existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The installation program provisions the rest of the required infrastructure, which you can further customize. To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. 7.8.1. 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 a GCP project to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. 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 IAM credentials . 7.8.2. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing GCP VPC, you might be able to avoid limit constraints in new accounts or more easily abide by the operational constraints that your company's guidelines set. If you cannot obtain the infrastructure creation permissions that are required to create the VPC yourself, use this installation option. You must configure networking for the subnets. 7.8.2.1. Requirements for using your VPC The union of the VPC CIDR block and the machine network CIDR must be non-empty. The subnets must be within the machine network. The installation program does not create the following components: NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPC network Note The installation program requires that you use the cloud-provided DNS server. Using a custom DNS server is not supported and causes the installation to fail. 7.8.2.2. VPC validation To ensure that the subnets that you provide are suitable, the installation program confirms the following data: All the subnets that you specify exist. You provide one subnet for control-plane machines and one subnet for compute machines. The subnet's CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. 7.8.2.3. Division of permissions Some individuals can create different resource in your clouds than others. For example, you might be able to create application-specific items, like instances, buckets, and load balancers, but not networking-related components such as VPCs, subnets, or ingress rules. 7.8.2.4. Isolation between clusters If you deploy OpenShift Container Platform to an existing network, the isolation of cluster services is reduced in the following ways: You can install multiple OpenShift Container Platform clusters in the same VPC. ICMP ingress is allowed to the entire network. TCP 22 ingress (SSH) is allowed to the entire network. Control plane TCP 6443 ingress (Kubernetes API) is allowed to the entire network. Control plane TCP 22623 ingress (MCS) is allowed to the entire network. 7.8.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.8.4. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.8.5. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will 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 files are required to delete the cluster. Important 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: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the 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. 7.8.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Modify the install-config.yaml file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.8.6.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. Important The openshift-install command does not validate field names for parameters. If an incorrect name is specified, the related file or object is not created, and no error is reported. Ensure that the field names for any parameters that are specified are correct. 7.8.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.25. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer may also support older API versions.

Network configuration parameters You can customize your installation configuration based on the requirements of your existing network infrastructure. For example, you can expand the IP address block for the cluster network or provide different IP address blocks than the defaults. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Table 7.26. Network parameters Parameter Description Values networking The configuration for the cluster network. Object Note You cannot modify parameters specified by the networking object after installation. networking.networkType The cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin to install.

This value defaults to the VM project ID if not set. The GCP project ID. 7.8.6.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.29. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.8.6.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . As part of the installation process, you specify the custom machine type in the install-config.yaml file. Sample install-config.yaml file with a custom machine type compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 2 controlPlane: architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 3 7.8.6.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-ssd diskSizeGB: 1024 encryptionKey: 5 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 compute: 6 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-standard diskSizeGB: 128 encryptionKey: 9 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 10 networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 11 region: us-central1 12 network: existing_vpc 13 controlPlaneSubnet: control_plane_subnet 14 computeSubnet: compute_subnet 15 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 16 fips: false 17 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 18 1 10 11 12 16 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 6 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 7 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 8 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 5 9 Optional: The custom encryption key section to encrypt both virtual machines and persistent volumes. Your default compute service account must have the permissions granted to use your KMS key and have the correct IAM role assigned. The default service account name follows the service-<project_number>@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com pattern. For more information on granting the correct permissions for your service account, see "Machine management" "Creating machine sets" "Creating a machine set on GCP". 13 Specify the name of an existing VPC. 14 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the control plane machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 15 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the compute machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 17 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 18 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. 7.8.6.5. Create an Ingress Controller with global access on GCP You can create an Ingress Controller that has global access to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cluster. Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. Prerequisites You created the install-config.yaml and complete any modifications to it. Procedure Create an Ingress Controller with global access on a new GCP cluster. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create a manifest file: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a file that is named cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: USD touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the manifests/ directory, as shown: USD ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Example output cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Open the cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file in an editor and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Operator configuration you want: Sample clientAccess configuration to Global apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: providerParameters: gcp: clientAccess: Global 1 type: GCP scope: Internal 2 type: LoadBalancerService 1 Set gcp.clientAccess to Global . 2 Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. 7.8.7. Additional resources Enabling customer-managed encryption keys for a machine set 7.8.7.1. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.8.8. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Remove any existing GCP credentials that do not use the service account key for the GCP account that you configured for your cluster and that are stored in the following locations: The GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS , GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON , or GCLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON environment variables The ~/.gcp/osServiceAccount.json file The gcloud cli default credentials Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the location of your customized ./install-config.yaml file. 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. Optional: You can reduce the number of permissions for the service account that you used to install the cluster. If you assigned the Owner role to your service account, you can remove that role and replace it with the Viewer role. If you included the Service Account Key Admin role, you can remove it. 7.8.9. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.8.10. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 7.8.11. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.8.12. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.9. Installing a private cluster on GCP In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a private cluster into an existing VPC on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The installation program provisions the rest of the required infrastructure, which you can further customize. To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. 7.9.1. 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 a GCP project to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. 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 IAM credentials . 7.9.2. Private clusters You can deploy a private OpenShift Container Platform cluster that does not expose external endpoints. Private clusters are accessible from only an internal network and are not visible to the internet. By default, OpenShift Container Platform is provisioned to use publicly-accessible DNS and endpoints. A private cluster sets the DNS, Ingress Controller, and API server to private when you deploy your cluster. This means that the cluster resources are only accessible from your internal network and are not visible to the internet. Important If the cluster has any public subnets, load balancer services created by administrators might be publicly accessible. To ensure cluster security, verify that these services are explicitly annotated as private. To deploy a private cluster, you must: Use existing networking that meets your requirements. Your cluster resources might be shared between other clusters on the network. Deploy from a machine that has access to: The API services for the cloud to which you provision. The hosts on the network that you provision. The internet to obtain installation media. You can use any machine that meets these access requirements and follows your company's guidelines. For example, this machine can be a bastion host on your cloud network or a machine that has access to the network through a VPN. 7.9.2.1. Private clusters in GCP To create a private cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you must provide an existing private VPC and subnets to host the cluster. The installation program must also be able to resolve the DNS records that the cluster requires. The installation program configures the Ingress Operator and API server for only internal traffic. The cluster still requires access to internet to access the GCP APIs. The following items are not required or created when you install a private cluster: Public subnets Public network load balancers, which support public ingress A public DNS zone that matches the baseDomain for the cluster The installation program does use the baseDomain that you specify to create a private DNS zone and the required records for the cluster. The cluster is configured so that the Operators do not create public records for the cluster and all cluster machines are placed in the private subnets that you specify. Because it is not possible to limit access to external load balancers based on source tags, the private cluster uses only internal load balancers to allow access to internal instances. The internal load balancer relies on instance groups rather than the target pools that the network load balancers use. The installation program creates instance groups for each zone, even if there is no instance in that group. The cluster IP address is internal only. One forwarding rule manages both the Kubernetes API and machine config server ports. The backend service is comprised of each zone's instance group and, while it exists, the bootstrap instance group. The firewall uses a single rule that is based on only internal source ranges. 7.9.2.1.1. Limitations No health check for the Machine config server, /healthz , runs because of a difference in load balancer functionality. Two internal load balancers cannot share a single IP address, but two network load balancers can share a single external IP address. Instead, the health of an instance is determined entirely by the /readyz check on port 6443. 7.9.3. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into an existing VPC in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). If you do, you must also use existing subnets within the VPC and routing rules. By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing GCP VPC, you might be able to avoid limit constraints in new accounts or more easily abide by the operational constraints that your company's guidelines set. This is a good option to use if you cannot obtain the infrastructure creation permissions that are required to create the VPC yourself. 7.9.3.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program will no longer create the following components: VPC Subnets Cloud router Cloud NAT NAT IP addresses If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. The installation program cannot subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use, set route tables for the subnets, or set VPC options like DHCP, so you must do so before you install the cluster. Your VPC and subnets must meet the following characteristics: The VPC must be in the same GCP project that you deploy the OpenShift Container Platform cluster to. To allow access to the internet from the control plane and compute machines, you must configure cloud NAT on the subnets to allow egress to it. These machines do not have a public address. Even if you do not require access to the internet, you must allow egress to the VPC network to obtain the installation program and images. Because multiple cloud NATs cannot be configured on the shared subnets, the installation program cannot configure it. To ensure that the subnets that you provide are suitable, the installation program confirms the following data: All the subnets that you specify exist and belong to the VPC that you specified. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR. You must provide a subnet to deploy the cluster control plane and compute machines to. You can use the same subnet for both machine types. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. 7.9.3.2. Division of permissions Starting with OpenShift Container Platform 4.3, you do not need all of the permissions that are required for an installation program-provisioned infrastructure cluster to deploy a cluster. This change mimics the division of permissions that you might have at your company: some individuals can create different resources in your clouds than others. For example, you might be able to create application-specific items, like instances, buckets, and load balancers, but not networking-related components such as VPCs, subnets, or Ingress rules. The GCP credentials that you use when you create your cluster do not need the networking permissions that are required to make VPCs and core networking components within the VPC, such as subnets, routing tables, internet gateways, NAT, and VPN. You still need permission to make the application resources that the machines within the cluster require, such as load balancers, security groups, storage, and nodes. 7.9.3.3. Isolation between clusters If you deploy OpenShift Container Platform to an existing network, the isolation of cluster services is preserved by firewall rules that reference the machines in your cluster by the cluster's infrastructure ID. Only traffic within the cluster is allowed. If you deploy multiple clusters to the same VPC, the following components might share access between clusters: The API, which is globally available with an external publishing strategy or available throughout the network in an internal publishing strategy Debugging tools, such as ports on VM instances that are open to the machine CIDR for SSH and ICMP access 7.9.4. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.9.5. 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: USD 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 FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, 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: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD 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. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(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 : USD 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>) Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the full path to your service account private key file. USD export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<your_service_account_file>" Verify that the credentials were applied. USD gcloud auth list steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 7.9.6. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program for your operating system, and place the file in the directory where you will 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 files are required to delete the cluster. Important 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: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the 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. 7.9.7. Manually creating the installation configuration file For installations of a private OpenShift Container Platform cluster that are only accessible from an internal network and are not visible to the internet, you must manually generate your installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have an SSH public key on your local machine to provide to the installation program. The key will be used for SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes for debugging and disaster recovery. You have obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Create an installation directory to store your required installation assets in: USD mkdir <installation_directory> Important You must create a 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. Customize the sample install-config.yaml file template that is provided and save it in the <installation_directory> . Note You must name this configuration file install-config.yaml . Note For some platform types, you can alternatively run ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> to generate an install-config.yaml file. You can provide details about your cluster configuration at the prompts. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. Important The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the step of the installation process. You must back it up now. 7.9.7.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. Important The openshift-install command does not validate field names for parameters. If an incorrect name is specified, the related file or object is not created, and no error is reported. Ensure that the field names for any parameters that are specified are correct. 7.9.7.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.30. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer may also support older API versions. String baseDomain The base domain of your cloud provider. The base domain is used to create routes to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster components. The full DNS name for your cluster is a combination of the baseDomain and metadata.name parameter values that uses the <metadata.name>.<baseDomain> format. A fully-qualified domain or subdomain name, such as example.com . metadata Kubernetes resource ObjectMeta , from which only the name parameter is consumed. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows.

Network configuration parameters You can customize your installation configuration based on the requirements of your existing network infrastructure. For example, you can expand the IP address block for the cluster network or provide different IP address blocks than the defaults. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Table 7.31. Network parameters Parameter Description Values networking The configuration for the cluster network. Object Note You cannot modify parameters specified by the networking object after installation. networking.networkType The cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers. The default value is OpenShiftSDN . networking.clusterNetwork The IP address blocks for pods. The default value is 10.128.0.0/14 with a host prefix of /23 . If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects. For example: networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 networking.clusterNetwork.cidr Required if you use networking.clusterNetwork . An IP address block. An IPv4 network. An IP address block in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. The prefix length for an IPv4 block is between 0 and 32 . networking.clusterNetwork.hostPrefix The subnet prefix length to assign to each individual node. For example, if hostPrefix is set to 23 then each node is assigned a /23 subnet out of the given cidr . A hostPrefix value of 23 provides 510 (2^(32 - 23) - 2) pod IP addresses. A subnet prefix. The default value is 23 . networking.serviceNetwork The IP address block for services. The default value is 172.30.0.0/16 . The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network providers support only a single IP address block for the service network. An array with an IP address block in CIDR format. For example: networking: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork The IP address blocks for machines. If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects. For example: networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork.cidr Required if you use networking.machineNetwork . An IP address block. The default value is 10.0.0.0/16 for all platforms other than libvirt. For libvirt, the default value is 192.168.126.0/24 . An IP network block in CIDR notation. For example, 10.0.0.0/16 . Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the CIDR that the preferred NIC resides in. 7.9.7.1.3. Optional configuration parameters Optional installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 7.32. Optional parameters Parameter Description Values additionalTrustBundle A PEM-encoded X.509 certificate bundle that is added to the nodes' trusted certificate store. This trust bundle may also be used when a proxy has been configured. String compute The configuration for the machines that comprise the compute nodes. Array of MachinePool objects. compute.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, heteregeneous clusters are not supported, so all pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String compute.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on compute machines. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Enabled or Disabled compute.name Required if you use compute . The name of the machine pool. worker compute.platform Required if you use compute . Use this parameter to specify the cloud provider to host the worker machines. This parameter value must match the controlPlane.platform parameter value. aws , azure , gcp , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} compute.replicas The number of compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, to provision. A positive integer greater than or equal to 2 . The default value is 3 . controlPlane The configuration for the machines that comprise the control plane. Array of MachinePool objects. controlPlane.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, heterogeneous clusters are not supported, so all pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String controlPlane.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on control plane machines. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Enabled or Disabled controlPlane.name Required if you use controlPlane . The name of the machine pool. master controlPlane.platform Required if you use controlPlane . Use this parameter to specify the cloud provider that hosts the control plane machines. This parameter value must match the compute.platform parameter value. aws , azure , gcp , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} controlPlane.replicas The number of control plane machines to provision. The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. If you are installing on GCP into a shared virtual private cloud (VPC), credentialsMode must be set to Passthrough . Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.34. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.9.7.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . As part of the installation process, you specify the custom machine type in the install-config.yaml file. Sample install-config.yaml file with a custom machine type compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 2 controlPlane: architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: gcp: type: custom-6-20480 replicas: 3 7.9.7.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-ssd diskSizeGB: 1024 encryptionKey: 5 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 compute: 6 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c osDisk: diskType: pd-standard diskSizeGB: 128 encryptionKey: 9 kmsKey: name: worker-key keyRing: test-machine-keys location: global projectID: project-id replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 10 networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 11 region: us-central1 12 network: existing_vpc 13 controlPlaneSubnet: control_plane_subnet 14 computeSubnet: compute_subnet 15 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 16 fips: false 17 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 18 publish: Internal 19 1 10 11 12 16 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 6 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 7 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 8 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 5 9 Optional: The custom encryption key section to encrypt both virtual machines and persistent volumes. Your default compute service account must have the permissions granted to use your KMS key and have the correct IAM role assigned. The default service account name follows the service-<project_number>@compute-system.iam.gserviceaccount.com pattern. For more information on granting the correct permissions for your service account, see "Machine management" "Creating machine sets" "Creating a machine set on GCP". 13 Specify the name of an existing VPC. 14 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the control plane machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 15 Specify the name of the existing subnet to deploy the compute machines to. The subnet must belong to the VPC that you specified. 17 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 18 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. 19 How to publish the user-facing endpoints of your cluster. Set publish to Internal to deploy a private cluster, which cannot be accessed from the internet. The default value is External . 7.9.7.5. Create an Ingress Controller with global access on GCP You can create an Ingress Controller that has global access to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cluster. Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. Prerequisites You created the install-config.yaml and complete any modifications to it. Procedure Create an Ingress Controller with global access on a new GCP cluster. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create a manifest file: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a file that is named cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: USD touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the manifests/ directory, as shown: USD ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Example output cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml Open the cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file in an editor and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Operator configuration you want: Sample clientAccess configuration to Global apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: providerParameters: gcp: clientAccess: Global 1 type: GCP scope: Internal 2 type: LoadBalancerService 1 Set gcp.clientAccess to Global . 2 Global access is only available to Ingress Controllers using internal load balancers. 7.9.8. Additional resources Enabling customer-managed encryption keys for a machine set 7.9.8.1. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.9.9. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. When the cluster deployment completes, directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to its web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user, display in your terminal. Example output ... 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: "4vYBz-Ee6gm-ymBZj-Wt5AL" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Note The cluster access and credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log when an installation succeeds. 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. Important You must not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. 7.9.10. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.9.11. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 7.9.12. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.9.13. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.10. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in GCP by using Deployment Manager templates In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses infrastructure that you provide. The steps for performing a user-provided infrastructure install are outlined here. Several Deployment Manager 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. 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 Deployment Manager 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. 7.10.1. 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 . 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. 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 IAM credentials . Note Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy. 7.10.2. 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. 7.10.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.10.4. Configuring your GCP project Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it. 7.10.4.1. 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. Important Your 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. 7.10.4.2. 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. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation. Table 7.35. Required API services API service Console service name Cloud Deployment Manager V2 API deploymentmanager.googleapis.com Compute Engine API compute.googleapis.com Google Cloud APIs cloudapis.googleapis.com Cloud Resource Manager API cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com Google DNS API dns.googleapis.com IAM Service Account Credentials API iamcredentials.googleapis.com Identity and Access Management (IAM) API iam.googleapis.com Service Management API servicemanagement.googleapis.com Service Usage API serviceusage.googleapis.com Google Cloud Storage JSON API storage-api.googleapis.com Cloud Storage storage-component.googleapis.com 7.10.4.3. 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. Note If 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 as clusters.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. 7.10.4.4. 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. Table 7.36. GCP resources used in a default cluster Service Component Location Total resources required Resources removed after bootstrap Service account IAM Global 5 0 Firewall rules Networking Global 11 1 Forwarding rules Compute Global 2 0 Health checks Compute Global 2 0 Images Compute Global 1 0 Networks Networking Global 1 0 Routers Networking Global 1 0 Routes Networking Global 2 0 Subnetworks Compute Global 2 0 Target pools Networking Global 2 0 Note 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. 7.10.4.5. 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 Owner role to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources . Note While 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. Create the service account key in JSON format. See Creating service account keys in the GCP documentation. The service account key is required to create a cluster. 7.10.4.5.1. Required GCP permissions 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. To deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the service account requires the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing 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 Security Admin Service Account Admin Service Account User Storage Admin Required roles for creating network resources during installation DNS Administrator Required roles for user-provisioned GCP infrastructure Deployment Manager Editor Service Account Key Admin Optional roles For the cluster to create new limited credentials for its Operators, add the following role: Service Account Key Admin The roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use: Table 7.37. GCP service account permissions Account Roles Control Plane roles/compute.instanceAdmin roles/compute.networkAdmin roles/compute.securityAdmin roles/storage.admin roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Compute roles/compute.viewer roles/storage.admin 7.10.4.6. Supported GCP regions You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the following Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions: asia-east1 (Changhua County, Taiwan) asia-east2 (Hong Kong) asia-northeast1 (Tokyo, Japan) asia-northeast2 (Osaka, Japan) asia-northeast3 (Seoul, South Korea) asia-south1 (Mumbai, India) asia-southeast1 (Jurong West, Singapore) asia-southeast2 (Jakarta, Indonesia) australia-southeast1 (Sydney, Australia) europe-central2 (Warsaw, Poland) europe-north1 (Hamina, Finland) europe-west1 (St. Ghislain, Belgium) europe-west2 (London, England, UK) europe-west3 (Frankfurt, Germany) europe-west4 (Eemshaven, Netherlands) europe-west6 (Zurich, Switzerland) northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) southamerica-east1 (Sao Paulo, Brazil) us-central1 (Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA) us-east1 (Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA) us-east4 (Ashburn, Northern Virginia, USA) us-west1 (The Dalles, Oregon, USA) us-west2 (Los Angeles, California, USA) us-west3 (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) us-west4 (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) 7.10.4.7. Installing and configuring CLI tools for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must install and configure the CLI tools for GCP. Prerequisites You created a project to host your cluster. You created a service account and granted it the required permissions. Procedure Install the following binaries in USDPATH : gcloud gsutil See Install the latest Cloud SDK version in the GCP documentation. Authenticate using the gcloud tool with your configured service account. See Authorizing with a service account in the GCP documentation. 7.10.5. Requirements for a cluster with user-provisioned infrastructure For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines. This section describes the requirements for deploying OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure. 7.10.5.1. Required machines for cluster installation The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts: Table 7.38. 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) 7.9, or RHEL 8.4. Note that RHCOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and inherits all of its hardware certifications and requirements. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux technology capabilities and limits . 7.10.5.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.39. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.10.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . 7.10.6. Creating the installation files for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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. 7.10.6.1. 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: USD mkdir USDHOME/clusterconfig Run openshift-install to create a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted: USD openshift-install create manifests --dir USDHOME/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: USDHOME/clusterconfig/manifests and USDHOME/clusterconfig/openshift Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the clusterconfig/openshift directory: USD ls USDHOME/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 USDHOME/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: 4.9.0 metadata: labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker name: 98-var-partition storage: disks: - device: /dev/<device_name> 1 partitions: - label: var start_mib: <partition_start_offset> 2 size_mib: <partition_size> 3 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: USD butane USDHOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o USDHOME/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: USD openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir USDHOME/clusterconfig USD ls USDHOME/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. 7.10.6.2. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Optional: If you do not want the cluster to provision compute machines, empty the compute pool by editing the resulting install-config.yaml file to set replicas to 0 for the compute pool: compute: - hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: {} replicas: 0 1 1 Set to 0 . Modify the install-config.yaml file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.10.6.3. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.10.6.4. 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: USD ./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: USD 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. Optional: If you do not want the cluster to provision compute machines, remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines: USD rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml 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: Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false . 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: USD ./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: Additional resources Optional: Adding the ingress DNS records 7.10.7. Exporting common variables 7.10.7.1. Extracting the infrastructure name The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate GCP resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided Deployment Manager 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: USD 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. 7.10.7.2. Exporting common variables for Deployment Manager templates You must export a common set of variables that are used with the provided Deployment Manager templates used to assist in completing a user-provided infrastructure install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Note Specific Deployment Manager templates can also require additional exported variables, which are detailed in their related procedures. Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Install the jq package. Procedure Export the following common variables to be used by the provided Deployment Manager templates: USD export BASE_DOMAIN='<base_domain>' USD export BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME='<base_domain_zone_name>' USD export NETWORK_CIDR='10.0.0.0/16' USD export MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.0.0/17' USD export WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.128.0/17' USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1 USD export CLUSTER_NAME=`jq -r .clusterName <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export INFRA_ID=`jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export PROJECT_NAME=`jq -r .gcp.projectID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export REGION=`jq -r .gcp.region <installation_directory>/metadata.json` 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 7.10.8. Creating a VPC in GCP You must create a VPC in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements. One way to create the VPC is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as 01_vpc.py on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires. Create a 01_vpc.yaml resource definition file: USD cat <<EOF >01_vpc.yaml imports: - path: 01_vpc.py resources: - name: cluster-vpc type: 01_vpc.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 1 region: 'USD{REGION}' 2 master_subnet_cidr: 'USD{MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 3 worker_subnet_cidr: 'USD{WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 4 EOF 1 infra_id is the INFRA_ID infrastructure name from the extraction step. 2 region is the region to deploy the cluster into, for example us-central1 . 3 master_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the master subnet, for example 10.0.0.0/17 . 4 worker_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the worker subnet, for example 10.0.128.0/17 . Create the deployment by using the gcloud CLI: USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments create USD{INFRA_ID}-vpc --config 01_vpc.yaml 7.10.8.1. Deployment Manager template for the VPC You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.1. 01_vpc.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network', 'type': 'compute.v1.network', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'autoCreateSubnetworks': False } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['master_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['worker_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-router', 'type': 'compute.v1.router', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'nats': [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-master', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 7168, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-worker', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 512, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.10.9. Networking requirements for user-provisioned infrastructure All the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines require networking to be configured in initramfs during boot to fetch their Ignition config files. 7.10.9.1. Setting the cluster node hostnames through DHCP On Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines, the hostname is set through NetworkManager. By default, the machines obtain their hostname through DHCP. If the hostname is not provided by DHCP, set statically through kernel arguments, or another method, it is obtained through a reverse DNS lookup. Reverse DNS lookup occurs after the network has been initialized on a node and can take time to resolve. Other system services can start prior to this and detect the hostname as localhost or similar. You can avoid this by using DHCP to provide the hostname for each cluster node. Additionally, setting the hostnames through DHCP can bypass any manual DNS record name configuration errors in environments that have a DNS split-horizon implementation. 7.10.9.2. Network connectivity requirements You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OpenShift Container Platform cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster. This section provides details about the ports that are required. Important In connected OpenShift Container Platform environments, all nodes are required to have internet access to pull images for platform containers and provide telemetry data to Red Hat.

Creating load balancers in GCP You must configure load balancers in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. One way to create these components is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the internal load balancer section of this topic and save it as 02_lb_int.py on your computer. This template describes the internal load balancing objects that your cluster requires. For an external cluster, also copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the external load balancer section of this topic and save it as 02_lb_ext.py on your computer. This template describes the external load balancing objects that your cluster requires.

Creating a private DNS zone in GCP You must configure a private DNS zone in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. One way to create this component is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template.

Deployment Manager template for worker machines You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the worker machines that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.9. 06_worker.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-' + context.env['name'], 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zone'] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['compute_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zone'] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.10.19. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.10.20. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin 7.10.21. 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.22.1 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.22.1 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests . 7.10.22. Optional: Adding the ingress DNS records If you removed the DNS zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs, you must manually create DNS records that point at the ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard *.apps.{baseDomain}. or specific records. You can use A, CNAME, and other records per your requirements. Prerequisites Configure a GCP account. Remove the DNS Zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Create the worker machines. Procedure Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the EXTERNAL-IP field: USD oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default Example output NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.18.154 35.233.157.184 80:32288/TCP,443:31215/TCP 98 Add the A record to your zones: To use A records: Export the variable for the router IP address: USD export ROUTER_IP=`oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default --no-headers | awk '{print USD4}'` Add the A record to the private zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone For an external cluster, also add the A record to the public zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} To add explicit domains instead of using a wildcard, create entries for each of the cluster's current routes: USD oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes Example output oauth-openshift.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com console-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com downloads-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com 7.10.23. Completing a GCP installation on user-provisioned infrastructure After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) user-provisioned infrastructure, you can monitor the cluster events until the cluster is ready. Prerequisites Deploy the bootstrap machine for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned GCP infrastructure. Install the oc CLI and log in. Procedure Complete the cluster installation: USD ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1 Example output INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for the cluster to initialize... 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 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. Observe the running state of your cluster. Run the following command to view the current cluster version and status: USD oc get clusterversion Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING SINCE STATUS version False True 24m Working towards 4.5.4: 99% complete Run the following command to view the Operators managed on the control plane by the Cluster Version Operator (CVO): USD oc get clusteroperators Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING DEGRADED SINCE authentication 4.5.4 True False False 7m56s cloud-credential 4.5.4 True False False 31m cluster-autoscaler 4.5.4 True False False 16m console 4.5.4 True False False 10m csi-snapshot-controller 4.5.4 True False False 16m dns 4.5.4 True False False 22m etcd 4.5.4 False False False 25s image-registry 4.5.4 True False False 16m ingress 4.5.4 True False False 16m insights 4.5.4 True False False 17m kube-apiserver 4.5.4 True False False 19m kube-controller-manager 4.5.4 True False False 20m kube-scheduler 4.5.4 True False False 20m kube-storage-version-migrator 4.5.4 True False False 16m machine-api 4.5.4 True False False 22m machine-config 4.5.4 True False False 22m marketplace 4.5.4 True False False 16m monitoring 4.5.4 True False False 10m network 4.5.4 True False False 23m node-tuning 4.5.4 True False False 23m openshift-apiserver 4.5.4 True False False 17m openshift-controller-manager 4.5.4 True False False 15m openshift-samples 4.5.4 True False False 16m operator-lifecycle-manager 4.5.4 True False False 22m operator-lifecycle-manager-catalog 4.5.4 True False False 22m operator-lifecycle-manager-packageserver 4.5.4 True False False 18m service-ca 4.5.4 True False False 23m service-catalog-apiserver 4.5.4 True False False 23m service-catalog-controller-manager 4.5.4 True False False 23m storage 4.5.4 True False False 17m Run the following command to view your cluster pods: USD oc get pods --all-namespaces Example output NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE kube-system etcd-member-ip-10-0-3-111.us-east-2.compute.internal 1/1 Running 0 35m kube-system etcd-member-ip-10-0-3-239.us-east-2.compute.internal 1/1 Running 0 37m kube-system etcd-member-ip-10-0-3-24.us-east-2.compute.internal 1/1 Running 0 35m openshift-apiserver-operator openshift-apiserver-operator-6d6674f4f4-h7t2t 1/1 Running 1 37m openshift-apiserver apiserver-fm48r 1/1 Running 0 30m openshift-apiserver apiserver-fxkvv 1/1 Running 0 29m openshift-apiserver apiserver-q85nm 1/1 Running 0 29m ... openshift-service-ca-operator openshift-service-ca-operator-66ff6dc6cd-9r257 1/1 Running 0 37m openshift-service-ca apiservice-cabundle-injector-695b6bcbc-cl5hm 1/1 Running 0 35m openshift-service-ca configmap-cabundle-injector-8498544d7-25qn6 1/1 Running 0 35m openshift-service-ca service-serving-cert-signer-6445fc9c6-wqdqn 1/1 Running 0 35m openshift-service-catalog-apiserver-operator openshift-service-catalog-apiserver-operator-549f44668b-b5q2w 1/1 Running 0 32m openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator openshift-service-catalog-controller-manager-operator-b78cr2lnm 1/1 Running 0 31m When the current cluster version is AVAILABLE , the installation is complete. 7.10.24. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.10.25. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . Configure Global Access for an Ingress Controller on GCP . 7.11. Installing a cluster into a shared VPC on GCP using Deployment Manager templates In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster into a shared Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses infrastructure that you provide. In this context, a cluster installed into a shared VPC is a cluster that is configured to use a VPC from a project different from where the cluster is being deployed. A shared VPC enables an organization to connect resources from multiple projects to a common VPC network. You can communicate within the organization securely and efficiently by using internal IPs from that network. For more information about shared VPC, see Shared VPC overview in the GCP documentation. The steps for performing a user-provided infrastructure installation into a shared VPC are outlined here. Several Deployment Manager 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. 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 Deployment Manager 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. 7.11.1. 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 . 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. 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 IAM credentials . Note Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy. 7.11.2. 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. 7.11.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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. 7.11.4. Configuring the GCP project that hosts your cluster Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it. 7.11.4.1. 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. Important Your 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. 7.11.4.2. 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. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation. Table 7.43. Required API services API service Console service name Cloud Deployment Manager V2 API deploymentmanager.googleapis.com Compute Engine API compute.googleapis.com Google Cloud APIs cloudapis.googleapis.com Cloud Resource Manager API cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com Google DNS API dns.googleapis.com IAM Service Account Credentials API iamcredentials.googleapis.com Identity and Access Management (IAM) API iam.googleapis.com Service Management API servicemanagement.googleapis.com Service Usage API serviceusage.googleapis.com Google Cloud Storage JSON API storage-api.googleapis.com Cloud Storage storage-component.googleapis.com 7.11.4.3. 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. Table 7.44. GCP resources used in a default cluster Service Component Location Total resources required Resources removed after bootstrap Service account IAM Global 5 0 Firewall rules Networking Global 11 1 Forwarding rules Compute Global 2 0 Health checks Compute Global 2 0 Images Compute Global 1 0 Networks Networking Global 1 0 Routers Networking Global 1 0 Routes Networking Global 2 0 Subnetworks Compute Global 2 0 Target pools Networking Global 2 0 Note 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. 7.11.4.4. 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 Owner role to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources . Note While 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. Create the service account key in JSON format. See Creating service account keys in the GCP documentation. The service account key is required to create a cluster. 7.11.4.4.1. Required GCP permissions 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. To deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the service account requires the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing 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 Security Admin Service Account Admin Service Account User Storage Admin Required roles for creating network resources during installation DNS Administrator Required roles for user-provisioned GCP infrastructure Deployment Manager Editor Service Account Key Admin Optional roles For the cluster to create new limited credentials for its Operators, add the following role: Service Account Key Admin The roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use: Table 7.45. GCP service account permissions Account Roles Control Plane roles/compute.instanceAdmin roles/compute.networkAdmin roles/compute.securityAdmin roles/storage.admin roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Compute roles/compute.viewer roles/storage.admin 7.11.4.5. Supported GCP regions You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the following Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions: asia-east1 (Changhua County, Taiwan) asia-east2 (Hong Kong) asia-northeast1 (Tokyo, Japan) asia-northeast2 (Osaka, Japan) asia-northeast3 (Seoul, South Korea) asia-south1 (Mumbai, India) asia-southeast1 (Jurong West, Singapore) asia-southeast2 (Jakarta, Indonesia) australia-southeast1 (Sydney, Australia) europe-central2 (Warsaw, Poland) europe-north1 (Hamina, Finland) europe-west1 (St. Ghislain, Belgium) europe-west2 (London, England, UK) europe-west3 (Frankfurt, Germany) europe-west4 (Eemshaven, Netherlands) europe-west6 (Zurich, Switzerland) northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) southamerica-east1 (Sao Paulo, Brazil) us-central1 (Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA) us-east1 (Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA) us-east4 (Ashburn, Northern Virginia, USA) us-west1 (The Dalles, Oregon, USA) us-west2 (Los Angeles, California, USA) us-west3 (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) us-west4 (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) 7.11.4.6. Installing and configuring CLI tools for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must install and configure the CLI tools for GCP. Prerequisites You created a project to host your cluster. You created a service account and granted it the required permissions. Procedure Install the following binaries in USDPATH : gcloud gsutil See Install the latest Cloud SDK version in the GCP documentation. Authenticate using the gcloud tool with your configured service account. See Authorizing with a service account in the GCP documentation. 7.11.5. Requirements for a cluster with user-provisioned infrastructure For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines. This section describes the requirements for deploying OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure. 7.11.5.1. Required machines for cluster installation The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts: Table 7.46. 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) 7.9, or RHEL 8.4. Note that RHCOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and inherits all of its hardware certifications and requirements. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux technology capabilities and limits . 7.11.5.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.47. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.11.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . 7.11.6. Configuring the GCP project that hosts your shared VPC network If you use a shared Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to host your OpenShift Container Platform cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you must configure the project that hosts it. Note If you already have a project that hosts the shared VPC network, review this section to ensure that the project meets all of the requirements to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Procedure Create a project to host the shared VPC for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. See Creating and Managing Projects in the GCP documentation. Create a service account in the project that hosts your shared VPC. 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 Owner role to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources . Note While 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. The service account for the project that hosts the shared VPC network requires the following roles: Compute Network User Compute Security Admin Deployment Manager Editor DNS Administrator Security Admin Network Management Admin 7.11.6.1. 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 project that hosts the shared VPC that you install the cluster into. 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. Note If 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 as clusters.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. 7.11.6.2. Creating a VPC in GCP You must create a VPC in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements. One way to create the VPC is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP 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 Configure a GCP account. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as 01_vpc.py on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires. Export the following variables required by the resource definition: Export the control plane CIDR: USD export MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.0.0/17' Export the compute CIDR: USD export WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.128.0/17' Export the region to deploy the VPC network and cluster to: USD export REGION='<region>' Export the variable for the ID of the project that hosts the shared VPC: USD export HOST_PROJECT=<host_project> Export the variable for the email of the service account that belongs to host project: USD export HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT=<host_service_account_email> Create a 01_vpc.yaml resource definition file: USD cat <<EOF >01_vpc.yaml imports: - path: 01_vpc.py resources: - name: cluster-vpc type: 01_vpc.py properties: infra_id: '<prefix>' 1 region: 'USD{REGION}' 2 master_subnet_cidr: 'USD{MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 3 worker_subnet_cidr: 'USD{WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 4 EOF 1 infra_id is the prefix of the network name. 2 region is the region to deploy the cluster into, for example us-central1 . 3 master_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the master subnet, for example 10.0.0.0/17 . 4 worker_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the worker subnet, for example 10.0.128.0/17 . Create the deployment by using the gcloud CLI: USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments create <vpc_deployment_name> --config 01_vpc.yaml --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} 1 1 For <vpc_deployment_name> , specify the name of the VPC to deploy. Export the VPC variable that other components require: Export the name of the host project network: USD export HOST_PROJECT_NETWORK=<vpc_network> Export the name of the host project control plane subnet: USD export HOST_PROJECT_CONTROL_SUBNET=<control_plane_subnet> Export the name of the host project compute subnet: USD export HOST_PROJECT_COMPUTE_SUBNET=<compute_subnet> Set up the shared VPC. See Setting up Shared VPC in the GCP documentation. 7.11.6.2.1. Deployment Manager template for the VPC You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.10. 01_vpc.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network', 'type': 'compute.v1.network', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'autoCreateSubnetworks': False } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['master_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['worker_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-router', 'type': 'compute.v1.router', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'nats': [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-master', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 7168, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-worker', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 512, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.11.7. Creating the installation files for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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. 7.11.7.1. Manually creating the installation configuration file For user-provisioned installations of OpenShift Container Platform, you manually generate your installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have an SSH public key on your local machine to provide to the installation program. The key will be used for SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes for debugging and disaster recovery. You have obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Procedure Create an installation directory to store your required installation assets in: USD mkdir <installation_directory> Important You must create a 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. Customize the sample install-config.yaml file template that is provided and save it in the <installation_directory> . Note You must name this configuration file install-config.yaml . Note For some platform types, you can alternatively run ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> to generate an install-config.yaml file. You can provide details about your cluster configuration at the prompts. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. Important The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the step of the installation process. You must back it up now. 7.11.7.2. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for GCP You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 hyperthreading: Enabled 3 4 name: master platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c replicas: 3 compute: 5 - hyperthreading: Enabled 6 name: worker platform: gcp: type: n2-standard-4 zones: - us-central1-a - us-central1-c replicas: 0 metadata: name: test-cluster networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: gcp: projectID: openshift-production 7 region: us-central1 8 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' fips: false 9 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 10 publish: Internal 11 1 Specify the public DNS on the host project. 2 5 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 6 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Although both sections currently define a single machine pool, it is possible that future versions of OpenShift Container Platform will support defining multiple compute pools during installation. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading . By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 7 Specify the main project where the VM instances reside. 8 Specify the region that your VPC network is in. 9 Whether to enable or disable FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important The use of FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture. 10 You can optionally provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. 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. 11 How to publish the user-facing endpoints of your cluster. Set publish to Internal to deploy a private cluster, which cannot be accessed from the internet. The default value is External . To use a shared VPC in a cluster that uses infrastructure that you provision, you must set publish to Internal . The installation program will no longer be able to access the public DNS zone for the base domain in the host project. 7.11.7.3. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.11.7.4. 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: USD ./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: USD 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 worker machines: USD rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml 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: Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false . Save and exit the file. Remove the privateZone 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 status: {} 1 Remove this section completely. Configure the cloud provider for your VPC. Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cloud-provider-config.yaml file. Add the network-project-id parameter and set its value to the ID of project that hosts the shared VPC network. Add the network-name parameter and set its value to the name of the shared VPC network that hosts the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Replace the value of the subnetwork-name parameter with the value of the shared VPC subnet that hosts your compute machines. The contents of the <installation_directory>/manifests/cloud-provider-config.yaml resemble the following example: config: |+ [global] project-id = example-project regional = true multizone = true node-tags = opensh-ptzzx-master node-tags = opensh-ptzzx-worker node-instance-prefix = opensh-ptzzx external-instance-groups-prefix = opensh-ptzzx network-project-id = example-shared-vpc network-name = example-network subnetwork-name = example-worker-subnet If you deploy a cluster that is not on a private network, open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file and replace the value of the scope parameter with External . The contents of the file resemble the following example: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: creationTimestamp: null name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: scope: External type: LoadBalancerService status: availableReplicas: 0 domain: '' selector: '' To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program: USD ./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: 7.11.8. Exporting common variables 7.11.8.1. Extracting the infrastructure name The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate GCP resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided Deployment Manager 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: USD 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. 7.11.8.2. Exporting common variables for Deployment Manager templates You must export a common set of variables that are used with the provided Deployment Manager templates used to assist in completing a user-provided infrastructure install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Note Specific Deployment Manager templates can also require additional exported variables, which are detailed in their related procedures. Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Install the jq package. Procedure Export the following common variables to be used by the provided Deployment Manager templates: USD export BASE_DOMAIN='<base_domain>' 1 USD export BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME='<base_domain_zone_name>' 2 USD export NETWORK_CIDR='10.0.0.0/16' USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 3 USD export CLUSTER_NAME=`jq -r .clusterName <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export INFRA_ID=`jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export PROJECT_NAME=`jq -r .gcp.projectID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` 1 2 Supply the values for the host project. 3 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 7.11.9. Networking requirements for user-provisioned infrastructure All the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines require networking to be configured in initramfs during boot to fetch their Ignition config files. 7.11.9.1. Setting the cluster node hostnames through DHCP On Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines, the hostname is set through NetworkManager. By default, the machines obtain their hostname through DHCP. If the hostname is not provided by DHCP, set statically through kernel arguments, or another method, it is obtained through a reverse DNS lookup. Reverse DNS lookup occurs after the network has been initialized on a node and can take time to resolve. Other system services can start prior to this and detect the hostname as localhost or similar. You can avoid this by using DHCP to provide the hostname for each cluster node. Additionally, setting the hostnames through DHCP can bypass any manual DNS record name configuration errors in environments that have a DNS split-horizon implementation. 7.11.9.2. Network connectivity requirements You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OpenShift Container Platform cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster. This section provides details about the ports that are required. Important In connected OpenShift Container Platform environments, all nodes are required to have internet access to pull images for platform containers and provide telemetry data to Red Hat.

Creating load balancers in GCP You must configure load balancers in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. One way to create these components is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the internal load balancer section of this topic and save it as 02_lb_int.py on your computer. This template describes the internal load balancing objects that your cluster requires. For an external cluster, also copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the external load balancer section of this topic and save it as 02_lb_ext.py on your computer. This template describes the external load balancing objects that your cluster requires.

Deployment Manager template for control plane machines You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the control plane machines that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.17. 05_control_plane.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-0', 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'diskType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][0] + '/diskTypes/pd-ssd', 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][0] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['control_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zones'][0] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-1', 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'diskType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][1] + '/diskTypes/pd-ssd', 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][1] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['control_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zones'][1] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-2', 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'diskType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][2] + '/diskTypes/pd-ssd', 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zones'][2] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['control_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zones'][2] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.11.17. Wait for bootstrap completion and remove bootstrap resources in GCP After you create all of the required infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), wait for the bootstrap process to complete on the machines that you provisioned by using the Ignition config files that you generated with the installation program. Prerequisites Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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 . If the command exits without a FATAL warning, your production control plane has initialized. Delete the bootstrap resources: USD gcloud compute backend-services remove-backend USD{INFRA_ID}-api-internal-backend-service --region=USD{REGION} --instance-group=USD{INFRA_ID}-bootstrap-instance-group --instance-group-zone=USD{ZONE_0} USD gsutil rm gs://USD{INFRA_ID}-bootstrap-ignition/bootstrap.ign USD gsutil rb gs://USD{INFRA_ID}-bootstrap-ignition USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments delete USD{INFRA_ID}-bootstrap 7.11.18. Creating additional worker machines in GCP You can create worker machines in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your cluster to use by launching individual instances discretely or by automated processes outside the cluster, such as auto scaling groups. You can also take advantage of the built-in cluster scaling mechanisms and the machine API in OpenShift Container Platform. In this example, you manually launch one instance by using the Deployment Manager template. Additional instances can be launched by including additional resources of type 06_worker.py in the file. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your worker machines, 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for worker machines section of this topic and save it as 06_worker.py on your computer. This template describes the worker machines that your cluster requires. Export the variables that the resource definition uses. Export the subnet that hosts the compute machines: USD export COMPUTE_SUBNET=(`gcloud compute networks subnets describe USD{HOST_PROJECT_COMPUTE_SUBNET} --region=USD{REGION} --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} --format json | jq -r .selfLink`) Export the email address for your service account: USD export WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=(`gcloud iam service-accounts list --filter "email~^USD{INFRA_ID}-w@USD{PROJECT_NAME}." --format json | jq -r '.[0].email'`) Export the location of the compute machine Ignition config file: USD export WORKER_IGNITION=`cat <installation_directory>/worker.ign` Create a 06_worker.yaml resource definition file: USD cat <<EOF >06_worker.yaml imports: - path: 06_worker.py resources: - name: 'worker-0' 1 type: 06_worker.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 2 zone: 'USD{ZONE_0}' 3 compute_subnet: 'USD{COMPUTE_SUBNET}' 4 image: 'USD{CLUSTER_IMAGE}' 5 machine_type: 'n1-standard-4' 6 root_volume_size: '128' service_account_email: 'USD{WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}' 7 ignition: 'USD{WORKER_IGNITION}' 8 - name: 'worker-1' type: 06_worker.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 9 zone: 'USD{ZONE_1}' 10 compute_subnet: 'USD{COMPUTE_SUBNET}' 11 image: 'USD{CLUSTER_IMAGE}' 12 machine_type: 'n1-standard-4' 13 root_volume_size: '128' service_account_email: 'USD{WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}' 14 ignition: 'USD{WORKER_IGNITION}' 15 EOF 1 name is the name of the worker machine, for example worker-0 . 2 9 infra_id is the INFRA_ID infrastructure name from the extraction step. 3 10 zone is the zone to deploy the worker machine into, for example us-central1-a . 4 11 compute_subnet is the selfLink URL to the compute subnet. 5 12 image is the selfLink URL to the RHCOS image. 1 6 13 machine_type is the machine type of the instance, for example n1-standard-4 . 7 14 service_account_email is the email address for the worker service account that you created. 8 15 ignition is the contents of the worker.ign file. Optional: If you want to launch additional instances, include additional resources of type 06_worker.py in your 06_worker.yaml resource definition file. Create the deployment by using the gcloud CLI: USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments create USD{INFRA_ID}-worker --config 06_worker.yaml To use a GCP Marketplace image, specify the offer to use: OpenShift Container Platform: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-ocp-48-x86-64-202210040145 OpenShift Platform Plus: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-opp-48-x86-64-202206140145 OpenShift Kubernetes Engine: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-oke-48-x86-64-202206140145 7.11.18.1. Deployment Manager template for worker machines You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the worker machines that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.18. 06_worker.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-' + context.env['name'], 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zone'] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['compute_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zone'] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.11.19. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary 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 4.9. 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 appropriate version in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 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 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 in the Version drop-down menu. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.9 MacOSX Client entry and save the file. 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: USD echo USDPATH After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 7.11.20. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin 7.11.21. 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.22.1 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.22.1 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests . 7.11.22. Adding the ingress DNS records DNS zone configuration is removed when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs. You must manually create DNS records that point at the ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard *.apps.{baseDomain}. or specific records. You can use A, CNAME, and other records per your requirements. Prerequisites Configure a GCP account. Remove the DNS Zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Create the worker machines. Procedure Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the EXTERNAL-IP field: USD oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default Example output NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.18.154 35.233.157.184 80:32288/TCP,443:31215/TCP 98 Add the A record to your zones: To use A records: Export the variable for the router IP address: USD export ROUTER_IP=`oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default --no-headers | awk '{print USD4}'` Add the A record to the private zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} For an external cluster, also add the A record to the public zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} --project USD{HOST_PROJECT} --account USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} To add explicit domains instead of using a wildcard, create entries for each of the cluster's current routes: USD oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes Example output oauth-openshift.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com console-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com downloads-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com 7.11.23. Adding ingress firewall rules The cluster requires several firewall rules. If you do not use a shared VPC, these rules are created by the ingress controller via the GCP cloud provider. When you use a shared VPC, you can either create cluster-wide firewall rules for all services now or create each rule based on events, when the cluster requests access. By creating each rule when the cluster requests access, you know exactly which firewall rules are required. By creating cluster-wide firewall rules, you can apply the same rule set across multiple clusters. If you choose to create each rule based on events, you must create firewall rules after you provision the cluster and during the life of the cluster when the console notifies you that rules are missing. Events that are similar to the following event are displayed, and you must add the firewall rules that are required: USD oc get events -n openshift-ingress --field-selector="reason=LoadBalancerManualChange" Example output Firewall change required by security admin: `gcloud compute firewall-rules create k8s-fw-a26e631036a3f46cba28f8df67266d55 --network example-network --description "{\"kubernetes.io/service-name\":\"openshift-ingress/router-default\", \"kubernetes.io/service-ip\":\"35.237.236.234\"}\" --allow tcp:443,tcp:80 --source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0 --target-tags exampl-fqzq7-master,exampl-fqzq7-worker --project example-project` If you encounter issues when creating these rule-based events, you can configure the cluster-wide firewall rules while your cluster is running. 7.11.23.1. Creating cluster-wide firewall rules for a shared VPC in GCP You can create cluster-wide firewall rules to allow the access that the OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires. Warning If you do not choose to create firewall rules based on cluster events, you must create cluster-wide firewall rules. Prerequisites You exported the variables that the Deployment Manager templates require to deploy your cluster. You created the networking and load balancing components in GCP that your cluster requires. Procedure Add a single firewall rule to allow the Google Cloud Engine health checks to access all of the services. This rule enables the ingress load balancers to determine the health status of their instances. USD gcloud compute firewall-rules create --allow='tcp:30000-32767,udp:30000-32767' --network="USD{CLUSTER_NETWORK}" --source-ranges='130.211.0.0/22,35.191.0.0/16,209.85.152.0/22,209.85.204.0/22' --target-tags="USD{INFRA_ID}-master,USD{INFRA_ID}-worker" USD{INFRA_ID}-ingress-hc --account=USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} --project=USD{HOST_PROJECT} Add a single firewall rule to allow access to all cluster services: For an external cluster: USD gcloud compute firewall-rules create --allow='tcp:80,tcp:443' --network="USD{CLUSTER_NETWORK}" --source-ranges="0.0.0.0/0" --target-tags="USD{INFRA_ID}-master,USD{INFRA_ID}-worker" USD{INFRA_ID}-ingress --account=USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} --project=USD{HOST_PROJECT} For a private cluster: USD gcloud compute firewall-rules create --allow='tcp:80,tcp:443' --network="USD{CLUSTER_NETWORK}" --source-ranges=USD{NETWORK_CIDR} --target-tags="USD{INFRA_ID}-master,USD{INFRA_ID}-worker" USD{INFRA_ID}-ingress --account=USD{HOST_PROJECT_ACCOUNT} --project=USD{HOST_PROJECT} Because this rule only allows traffic on TCP ports 80 and 443 , ensure that you add all the ports that your services use. 7.11.24. Completing a GCP installation on user-provisioned infrastructure After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) user-provisioned infrastructure, you can monitor the cluster events until the cluster is ready. Prerequisites Deploy the bootstrap machine for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned GCP infrastructure. Install the oc CLI and log in. Procedure Complete the cluster installation: USD ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1 Example output INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for the cluster to initialize... 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 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. Observe the running state of your cluster.

Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.11.26. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.12. Installing a cluster on GCP in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses 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 GCP APIs. The steps for performing a user-provided infrastructure install are outlined here. Several Deployment Manager 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. 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 Deployment Manager 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. 7.12.1. 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 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. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. While you might need to grant access to more sites, you must grant access to *.googleapis.com and accounts.google.com . 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 IAM credentials . 7.12.2. About installations in restricted networks In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 or on VMware vSphere. To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift Container Platform 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. 7.12.2.1. 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. 7.12.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you require access to the internet to obtain the images that are necessary 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. 7.12.4. Configuring your GCP project Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it. 7.12.4.1. 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. Important Your 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. 7.12.4.2. 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. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation. Table 7.51. Required API services API service Console service name Compute Engine API compute.googleapis.com Google Cloud APIs cloudapis.googleapis.com Cloud Resource Manager API cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com Google DNS API dns.googleapis.com IAM Service Account Credentials API iamcredentials.googleapis.com Identity and Access Management (IAM) API iam.googleapis.com Service Management API servicemanagement.googleapis.com Service Usage API serviceusage.googleapis.com Google Cloud Storage JSON API storage-api.googleapis.com Cloud Storage storage-component.googleapis.com 7.12.4.3. 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. Note If 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 as clusters.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. 7.12.4.4. 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. Table 7.52. GCP resources used in a default cluster Service Component Location Total resources required Resources removed after bootstrap Service account IAM Global 5 0 Firewall rules Networking Global 11 1 Forwarding rules Compute Global 2 0 Health checks Compute Global 2 0 Images Compute Global 1 0 Networks Networking Global 1 0 Routers Networking Global 1 0 Routes Networking Global 2 0 Subnetworks Compute Global 2 0 Target pools Networking Global 2 0 Note 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. 7.12.4.5. 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 Owner role to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources . Note While 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. Create the service account key in JSON format. See Creating service account keys in the GCP documentation. The service account key is required to create a cluster. 7.12.4.5.1. Required GCP permissions 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. To deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the service account requires the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing 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 Security Admin Service Account Admin Service Account User Storage Admin Required roles for creating network resources during installation DNS Administrator Required roles for user-provisioned GCP infrastructure Deployment Manager Editor Service Account Key Admin Optional roles For the cluster to create new limited credentials for its Operators, add the following role: Service Account Key Admin The roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use: Table 7.53. GCP service account permissions Account Roles Control Plane roles/compute.instanceAdmin roles/compute.networkAdmin roles/compute.securityAdmin roles/storage.admin roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Compute roles/compute.viewer roles/storage.admin 7.12.4.6. Supported GCP regions You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the following Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions: asia-east1 (Changhua County, Taiwan) asia-east2 (Hong Kong) asia-northeast1 (Tokyo, Japan) asia-northeast2 (Osaka, Japan) asia-northeast3 (Seoul, South Korea) asia-south1 (Mumbai, India) asia-southeast1 (Jurong West, Singapore) asia-southeast2 (Jakarta, Indonesia) australia-southeast1 (Sydney, Australia) europe-central2 (Warsaw, Poland) europe-north1 (Hamina, Finland) europe-west1 (St. Ghislain, Belgium) europe-west2 (London, England, UK) europe-west3 (Frankfurt, Germany) europe-west4 (Eemshaven, Netherlands) europe-west6 (Zurich, Switzerland) northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) southamerica-east1 (Sao Paulo, Brazil) us-central1 (Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA) us-east1 (Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA) us-east4 (Ashburn, Northern Virginia, USA) us-west1 (The Dalles, Oregon, USA) us-west2 (Los Angeles, California, USA) us-west3 (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) us-west4 (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) 7.12.4.7. Installing and configuring CLI tools for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must install and configure the CLI tools for GCP. Prerequisites You created a project to host your cluster. You created a service account and granted it the required permissions. Procedure Install the following binaries in USDPATH : gcloud gsutil See Install the latest Cloud SDK version in the GCP documentation. Authenticate using the gcloud tool with your configured service account. See Authorizing with a service account in the GCP documentation. 7.12.5. Requirements for a cluster with user-provisioned infrastructure For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines. This section describes the requirements for deploying OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure. 7.12.5.1. Required machines for cluster installation The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts: Table 7.54. 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) 7.9, or RHEL 8.4. Note that RHCOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and inherits all of its hardware certifications and requirements. See Red Hat Enterprise Linux technology capabilities and limits . 7.12.5.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 7.55. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU [1] Virtual RAM Storage IOPS [2] Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS, RHEL 7.9, or RHEL 8.4 [3] 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or hyperthreading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core x cores) x 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 planned for removal in a future release of OpenShift Container Platform 4. 7.12.5.3. Using custom machine types Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported. Consider the following when using a custom machine type: Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation". The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax: custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb> For example, custom-6-20480 . 7.12.6. Creating the installation files for GCP To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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. 7.12.6.1. 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: USD mkdir USDHOME/clusterconfig Run openshift-install to create a set of files in the manifest and openshift subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted: USD openshift-install create manifests --dir USDHOME/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: USDHOME/clusterconfig/manifests and USDHOME/clusterconfig/openshift Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the clusterconfig/openshift directory: USD ls USDHOME/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 USDHOME/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: 4.9.0 metadata: labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker name: 98-var-partition storage: disks: - device: /dev/<device_name> 1 partitions: - label: var start_mib: <partition_start_offset> 2 size_mib: <partition_size> 3 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: USD butane USDHOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o USDHOME/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: USD openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir USDHOME/clusterconfig USD ls USDHOME/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. 7.12.6.2. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host. Have the imageContentSources values that were generated during mirror registry creation. Obtain the contents of the certificate for your mirror registry. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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. At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: 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. Select gcp as the platform to target. If you have not configured the service account key for your GCP account on your computer, you must obtain it from GCP and paste the contents of the file or enter the absolute path to the file. Select the project ID to provision the cluster in. The default value is specified by the service account that you configured. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Edit the install-config.yaml file to provide the additional information that is required for an installation in a restricted network. Update the pullSecret value to contain the authentication information for your registry: pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<mirror_host_name>:5000": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' For <mirror_host_name> , specify the registry domain name that you specified in the certificate for your mirror registry, and for <credentials> , specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry. Add the additionalTrustBundle parameter and value. additionalTrustBundle: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -----END CERTIFICATE----- The value must be the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry, which can be an existing, trusted certificate authority or the self-signed certificate that you generated for the mirror registry. Define the network and subnets for the VPC to install the cluster in under the parent platform.gcp field: network: <existing_vpc> controlPlaneSubnet: <control_plane_subnet> computeSubnet: <compute_subnet> For platform.gcp.network , specify the name for the existing Google VPC. For platform.gcp.controlPlaneSubnet and platform.gcp.computeSubnet , specify the existing subnets to deploy the control plane machines and compute machines, respectively. Add the image content resources, which look like this excerpt: imageContentSources: - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: registry.redhat.io/ocp/release To complete these values, use the imageContentSources that you recorded during mirror registry creation. Make any other modifications to the install-config.yaml file that you require. You can find more information about the available parameters in the Installation configuration parameters section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. 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. 7.12.6.3. 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: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- ... 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. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter with the RHCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. 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. 7.12.6.4. 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. 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: USD ./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: USD 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. Optional: If you do not want the cluster to provision compute machines, remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines: USD rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml 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: Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false . 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: USD ./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: Additional resources Optional: Adding the ingress DNS records 7.12.7. Exporting common variables 7.12.7.1. Extracting the infrastructure name The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate GCP resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided Deployment Manager 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: USD 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. 7.12.7.2. Exporting common variables for Deployment Manager templates You must export a common set of variables that are used with the provided Deployment Manager templates used to assist in completing a user-provided infrastructure install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Note Specific Deployment Manager templates can also require additional exported variables, which are detailed in their related procedures. Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Install the jq package. Procedure Export the following common variables to be used by the provided Deployment Manager templates: USD export BASE_DOMAIN='<base_domain>' USD export BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME='<base_domain_zone_name>' USD export NETWORK_CIDR='10.0.0.0/16' USD export MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.0.0/17' USD export WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR='10.0.128.0/17' USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1 USD export CLUSTER_NAME=`jq -r .clusterName <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export INFRA_ID=`jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export PROJECT_NAME=`jq -r .gcp.projectID <installation_directory>/metadata.json` USD export REGION=`jq -r .gcp.region <installation_directory>/metadata.json` 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 7.12.8. Creating a VPC in GCP You must create a VPC in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements. One way to create the VPC is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as 01_vpc.py on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires. Create a 01_vpc.yaml resource definition file: USD cat <<EOF >01_vpc.yaml imports: - path: 01_vpc.py resources: - name: cluster-vpc type: 01_vpc.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 1 region: 'USD{REGION}' 2 master_subnet_cidr: 'USD{MASTER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 3 worker_subnet_cidr: 'USD{WORKER_SUBNET_CIDR}' 4 EOF 1 infra_id is the INFRA_ID infrastructure name from the extraction step. 2 region is the region to deploy the cluster into, for example us-central1 . 3 master_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the master subnet, for example 10.0.0.0/17 . 4 worker_subnet_cidr is the CIDR for the worker subnet, for example 10.0.128.0/17 . Create the deployment by using the gcloud CLI: USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments create USD{INFRA_ID}-vpc --config 01_vpc.yaml 7.12.8.1. Deployment Manager template for the VPC You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.19. 01_vpc.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network', 'type': 'compute.v1.network', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'autoCreateSubnetworks': False } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['master_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet', 'type': 'compute.v1.subnetwork', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'ipCidrRange': context.properties['worker_subnet_cidr'] } }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-router', 'type': 'compute.v1.router', 'properties': { 'region': context.properties['region'], 'network': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-network.selfLink)', 'nats': [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-master', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 7168, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-master-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }, { 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-nat-worker', 'natIpAllocateOption': 'AUTO_ONLY', 'minPortsPerVm': 512, 'sourceSubnetworkIpRangesToNat': 'LIST_OF_SUBNETWORKS', 'subnetworks': [{ 'name': 'USD(ref.' + context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker-subnet.selfLink)', 'sourceIpRangesToNat': ['ALL_IP_RANGES'] }] }] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.12.9. Networking requirements for user-provisioned infrastructure All the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines require networking to be configured in initramfs during boot to fetch their Ignition config files. 7.12.9.1. Setting the cluster node hostnames through DHCP On Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines, the hostname is set through NetworkManager. By default, the machines obtain their hostname through DHCP. If the hostname is not provided by DHCP, set statically through kernel arguments, or another method, it is obtained through a reverse DNS lookup. Reverse DNS lookup occurs after the network has been initialized on a node and can take time to resolve. Other system services can start prior to this and detect the hostname as localhost or similar. You can avoid this by using DHCP to provide the hostname for each cluster node. Additionally, setting the hostnames through DHCP can bypass any manual DNS record name configuration errors in environments that have a DNS split-horizon implementation. 7.12.9.2. Network connectivity requirements You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OpenShift Container Platform cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster. This section provides details about the ports that are required. Table 7.56.

Wait for bootstrap completion and remove bootstrap resources in GCP After you create all of the required infrastructure in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), wait for the bootstrap process to complete on the machines that you provisioned by using the Ignition config files that you generated with the installation program. Prerequisites Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./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 .

Creating additional worker machines in GCP You can create worker machines in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your cluster to use by launching individual instances discretely or by automated processes outside the cluster, such as auto scaling groups. You can also take advantage of the built-in cluster scaling mechanisms and the machine API in OpenShift Container Platform. In this example, you manually launch one instance by using the Deployment Manager template. Additional instances can be launched by including additional resources of type 06_worker.py in the file. Note If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your worker machines, 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 Configure a GCP account. Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Procedure Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for worker machines section of this topic and save it as 06_worker.py on your computer. This template describes the worker machines that your cluster requires. Export the variables that the resource definition uses. Export the subnet that hosts the compute machines: USD export COMPUTE_SUBNET=(`gcloud compute networks subnets describe USD{INFRA_ID}-worker-subnet --region=USD{REGION} --format json | jq -r .selfLink`) Export the email address for your service account: USD export WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=(`gcloud iam service-accounts list --filter "email~^USD{INFRA_ID}-w@USD{PROJECT_NAME}." --format json | jq -r '.[0].email'`) Export the location of the compute machine Ignition config file: USD export WORKER_IGNITION=`cat <installation_directory>/worker.ign` Create a 06_worker.yaml resource definition file: USD cat <<EOF >06_worker.yaml imports: - path: 06_worker.py resources: - name: 'worker-0' 1 type: 06_worker.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 2 zone: 'USD{ZONE_0}' 3 compute_subnet: 'USD{COMPUTE_SUBNET}' 4 image: 'USD{CLUSTER_IMAGE}' 5 machine_type: 'n1-standard-4' 6 root_volume_size: '128' service_account_email: 'USD{WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}' 7 ignition: 'USD{WORKER_IGNITION}' 8 - name: 'worker-1' type: 06_worker.py properties: infra_id: 'USD{INFRA_ID}' 9 zone: 'USD{ZONE_1}' 10 compute_subnet: 'USD{COMPUTE_SUBNET}' 11 image: 'USD{CLUSTER_IMAGE}' 12 machine_type: 'n1-standard-4' 13 root_volume_size: '128' service_account_email: 'USD{WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}' 14 ignition: 'USD{WORKER_IGNITION}' 15 EOF 1 name is the name of the worker machine, for example worker-0 . 2 9 infra_id is the INFRA_ID infrastructure name from the extraction step. 3 10 zone is the zone to deploy the worker machine into, for example us-central1-a . 4 11 compute_subnet is the selfLink URL to the compute subnet. 5 12 image is the selfLink URL to the RHCOS image. 1 6 13 machine_type is the machine type of the instance, for example n1-standard-4 . 7 14 service_account_email is the email address for the worker service account that you created. 8 15 ignition is the contents of the worker.ign file. Optional: If you want to launch additional instances, include additional resources of type 06_worker.py in your 06_worker.yaml resource definition file. Create the deployment by using the gcloud CLI: USD gcloud deployment-manager deployments create USD{INFRA_ID}-worker --config 06_worker.yaml To use a GCP Marketplace image, specify the offer to use: OpenShift Container Platform: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-ocp-48-x86-64-202210040145 OpenShift Platform Plus: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-opp-48-x86-64-202206140145 OpenShift Kubernetes Engine: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/redhat-coreos-oke-48-x86-64-202206140145 7.12.18.1. Deployment Manager template for worker machines You can use the following Deployment Manager template to deploy the worker machines that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Example 7.27. 06_worker.py Deployment Manager template def GenerateConfig(context): resources = [{ 'name': context.properties['infra_id'] + '-' + context.env['name'], 'type': 'compute.v1.instance', 'properties': { 'disks': [{ 'autoDelete': True, 'boot': True, 'initializeParams': { 'diskSizeGb': context.properties['root_volume_size'], 'sourceImage': context.properties['image'] } }], 'machineType': 'zones/' + context.properties['zone'] + '/machineTypes/' + context.properties['machine_type'], 'metadata': { 'items': [{ 'key': 'user-data', 'value': context.properties['ignition'] }] }, 'networkInterfaces': [{ 'subnetwork': context.properties['compute_subnet'] }], 'serviceAccounts': [{ 'email': context.properties['service_account_email'], 'scopes': ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'] }], 'tags': { 'items': [ context.properties['infra_id'] + '-worker', ] }, 'zone': context.properties['zone'] } }] return {'resources': resources} 7.12.19. 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: USD 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: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin 7.12.20. Disabling the default OperatorHub 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: USD 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, delete, disable, and enable individual sources. 7.12.21. 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.22.1 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD 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: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.22.1 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.22.1 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.22.1 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests . 7.12.22. Optional: Adding the ingress DNS records If you removed the DNS zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs, you must manually create DNS records that point at the ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard *.apps.{baseDomain}. or specific records. You can use A, CNAME, and other records per your requirements. Prerequisites Configure a GCP account. Remove the DNS Zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs. Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP. Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP. Create control plane and compute roles. Create the bootstrap machine. Create the control plane machines. Create the worker machines. Procedure Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the EXTERNAL-IP field: USD oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default Example output NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.18.154 35.233.157.184 80:32288/TCP,443:31215/TCP 98 Add the A record to your zones: To use A records: Export the variable for the router IP address: USD export ROUTER_IP=`oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default --no-headers | awk '{print USD4}'` Add the A record to the private zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{INFRA_ID}-private-zone For an external cluster, also add the A record to the public zones: USD if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction add USD{ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.USD{CLUSTER_NAME}.USD{BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} USD gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone USD{BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} To add explicit domains instead of using a wildcard, create entries for each of the cluster's current routes: USD oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes Example output oauth-openshift.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com console-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com downloads-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com 7.12.23. Completing a GCP installation on user-provisioned infrastructure After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) user-provisioned infrastructure, you can monitor the cluster events until the cluster is ready. Prerequisites Deploy the bootstrap machine for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned GCP infrastructure. Install the oc CLI and log in. Procedure Complete the cluster installation: USD ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1 Example output INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for the cluster to initialize... 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 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. Observe the running state of your cluster.

Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, 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 7.12.25. steps Customize your cluster . Configure image streams for the Cluster Samples Operator and the must-gather tool. Learn how to use Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) on restricted networks . If the mirror registry that you used to install your cluster has a trusted CA, add it to the cluster by configuring additional trust stores . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . 7.13. Uninstalling a cluster on GCP You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). 7.13.1. Removing a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure You can remove a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure from your cloud. Note After uninstallation, check your cloud provider for any resources not removed properly, especially with User Provisioned Infrastructure (UPI) clusters. There might be resources that the installer did not create or that the installer is unable to access. For example, some Google Cloud resources require IAM permissions in shared VPC host projects, or there might be unused health checks that must be deleted . Prerequisites Have a copy of the installation program that you used to deploy the cluster. Have the files that the installation program generated when you created your cluster. Procedure From the directory that contains the installation program on the computer that you used to install the cluster, run the following command: USD ./openshift-install destroy cluster \ --dir <installation_directory> --log-level info 1 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 2 To view different details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note You must specify the directory that contains the cluster definition files for your cluster. The installation program requires the metadata.json file in this directory to delete the cluster. Optional: Delete the <installation_directory> directory and the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
