Chapter 4. Installing on AWS 4.1. Preparing to install on AWS 4.1.1. 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 . 4.1.2. Requirements for installing OpenShift Container Platform on AWS Before installing OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must create an AWS account. See Configuring an AWS account for details about configuring an account, account limits, account permissions, IAM user setup, and supported AWS 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 AWS for other options, including configuring the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the Amazon Web Services Security Token Service (AWS STS) . 4.1.3. Choosing a method to install OpenShift Container Platform on AWS 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. 4.1.3.1. Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on AWS infrastructure that is provisioned by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster quickly on AWS : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on AWS 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 AWS : You can install a customized cluster on AWS 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 AWS 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 AWS in a restricted network : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on AWS 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. Installing a cluster on an existing Virtual Private Cloud : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on an existing AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can use this installation method if you have constraints set by the guidelines of your company, such as limits when creating new accounts or infrastructure. Installing a private cluster on an existing VPC : You can install a private cluster on an existing AWS VPC. You can use this method to deploy OpenShift Container Platform on an internal network that is not visible to the internet. Installing a cluster on AWS into a government or secret region : OpenShift Container Platform can be deployed into AWS regions that are specifically designed for US government agencies at the federal, state, and local level, as well as contractors, educational institutions, and other US customers that must run sensitive workloads in the cloud. 4.1.3.2. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on AWS infrastructure that you provision, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster on AWS infrastructure that you provide : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on AWS infrastructure that you provide. You can use the provided CloudFormation templates to create stacks of AWS resources that represent each of the components required for an OpenShift Container Platform installation. Installing a cluster on AWS in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on AWS infrastructure that you provide 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. You can also use this installation method to ensure that your clusters only use container images that satisfy your organizational controls on external content. While you can install OpenShift Container Platform by using the mirrored content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the AWS APIs. 4.1.4. steps Configuring an AWS account 4.2. Configuring an AWS account Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. 4.2.1. Configuring Route 53 To install OpenShift Container Platform, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) account you use must have a dedicated public hosted zone in your Route 53 service. This zone must be authoritative for the domain. The Route 53 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 AWS or another source. Note If you purchase a new domain through AWS, it takes time for the relevant DNS changes to propagate. For more information about purchasing domains through AWS, see Registering Domain Names Using Amazon Route 53 in the AWS documentation. If you are using an existing domain and registrar, migrate its DNS to AWS. See Making Amazon Route 53 the DNS Service for an Existing Domain in the AWS documentation. Create a public hosted zone for your domain or subdomain. See Creating a Public Hosted Zone in the AWS 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 Getting the Name Servers for a Public Hosted Zone in the AWS documentation. Update the registrar records for the AWS Route 53 name servers that your domain uses. For example, if you registered your domain to a Route 53 service in a different accounts, see the following topic in the AWS documentation: Adding or Changing Name Servers or Glue Records . If you are using a subdomain, add its delegation records to the parent domain. This gives Amazon Route 53 responsibility for the subdomain. Follow the delegation procedure outlined by the DNS provider of the parent domain. See Creating a subdomain that uses Amazon Route 53 as the DNS service without migrating the parent domain in the AWS documentation for an example high level procedure. 4.2.1.1. Ingress Operator endpoint configuration for AWS Route 53 If you install in either Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) US-West or US-East region, the Ingress Operator uses us-gov-west-1 region for Route53 and tagging API clients. The Ingress Operator uses https://tagging.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com as the tagging API endpoint if a tagging custom endpoint is configured that includes the string 'us-gov-east-1'. For more information on AWS GovCloud (US) endpoints, see the Service Endpoints in the AWS documentation about GovCloud (US). Important Private, disconnected installations are not supported for AWS GovCloud when you install in the us-gov-east-1 region. Example Route 53 configuration platform: aws: region: us-gov-west-1 serviceEndpoints: - name: ec2 url: https://ec2.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com - name: elasticloadbalancing url: https://elasticloadbalancing.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com - name: route53 url: https://route53.us-gov.amazonaws.com 1 - name: tagging url: https://tagging.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com 2 1 Route 53 defaults to https://route53.us-gov.amazonaws.com for both AWS GovCloud (US) regions. 2 Only the US-West region has endpoints for tagging. Omit this parameter if your cluster is in another region. 4.2.2. AWS account limits The OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses a number of Amazon Web Services (AWS) components, and the default Service Limits affect your ability to install OpenShift Container Platform clusters. If you use certain cluster configurations, deploy your cluster in certain AWS regions, or run multiple clusters from your account, you might need to request additional resources for your AWS account. The following table summarizes the AWS components whose limits can impact your ability to install and run OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Component Number of clusters available by default Default AWS limit Description Instance Limits Varies Varies By default, each cluster creates the following instances: One bootstrap machine, which is removed after installation Three control plane nodes Three worker nodes These instance type counts are within a new account's default limit. To deploy more worker nodes, enable autoscaling, deploy large workloads, or use a different instance type, review your account limits to ensure that your cluster can deploy the machines that you need. In most regions, the bootstrap and worker machines uses an m4.large machines and the control plane machines use m4.xlarge instances. In some regions, including all regions that do not support these instance types, m5.large and m5.xlarge instances are used instead. Elastic IPs (EIPs) 0 to 1 5 EIPs per account To provision the cluster in a highly available configuration, the installation program creates a public and private subnet for each availability zone within a region . Each private subnet requires a NAT Gateway , and each NAT gateway requires a separate elastic IP . Review the AWS region map to determine how many availability zones are in each region. To take advantage of the default high availability, install the cluster in a region with at least three availability zones. To install a cluster in a region with more than five availability zones, you must increase the EIP limit. Important To use the us-east-1 region, you must increase the EIP limit for your account. Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) 5 5 VPCs per region Each cluster creates its own VPC. Elastic Load Balancing (ELB/NLB) 3 20 per region By default, each cluster creates internal and external network load balancers for the master API server and a single classic elastic load balancer for the router. Deploying more Kubernetes Service objects with type LoadBalancer will create additional load balancers . NAT Gateways 5 5 per availability zone The cluster deploys one NAT gateway in each availability zone. Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) At least 12 350 per region The default installation creates 21 ENIs and an ENI for each availability zone in your region. For example, the us-east-1 region contains six availability zones, so a cluster that is deployed in that zone uses 27 ENIs. Review the AWS region map to determine how many availability zones are in each region. Additional ENIs are created for additional machines and elastic load balancers that are created by cluster usage and deployed workloads. VPC Gateway 20 20 per account Each cluster creates a single VPC Gateway for S3 access. S3 buckets 99 100 buckets per account Because the installation process creates a temporary bucket and the registry component in each cluster creates a bucket, you can create only 99 OpenShift Container Platform clusters per AWS account. Security Groups 250 2,500 per account Each cluster creates 10 distinct security groups. 4.2.3. Required AWS permissions for the IAM user Note Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources in the region us-east-1 to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region. When you attach the AdministratorAccess policy to the IAM user that you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you grant that user all of the required permissions. To deploy all components of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the IAM user requires the following permissions: Example 4.1. Required EC2 permissions for installation ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:CopyImage ec2:CreateNetworkInterface ec2:AttachNetworkInterface ec2:CreateSecurityGroup ec2:CreateTags ec2:CreateVolume ec2:DeleteSecurityGroup ec2:DeleteSnapshot ec2:DeleteTags ec2:DeregisterImage ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes ec2:DescribeAddresses ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones ec2:DescribeDhcpOptions ec2:DescribeImages ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute ec2:DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes ec2:DescribeInternetGateways ec2:DescribeKeyPairs ec2:DescribeNatGateways ec2:DescribeNetworkAcls ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces ec2:DescribePrefixLists ec2:DescribeRegions ec2:DescribeRouteTables ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups ec2:DescribeSubnets ec2:DescribeTags ec2:DescribeVolumes ec2:DescribeVpcAttribute ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLink ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLinkDnsSupport ec2:DescribeVpcEndpoints ec2:DescribeVpcs ec2:GetEbsDefaultKmsKeyId ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:RunInstances ec2:TerminateInstances Example 4.2.

Instead, your account only requires the tag:UntagResources permission to delete network resources. Example 4.11. Required permissions to delete a cluster with shared instance roles iam:UntagRole Example 4.12. Additional IAM and S3 permissions that are required to create manifests iam:DeleteAccessKey iam:DeleteUser iam:DeleteUserPolicy iam:GetUserPolicy iam:ListAccessKeys iam:PutUserPolicy iam:TagUser s3:PutBucketPublicAccessBlock s3:GetBucketPublicAccessBlock s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration s3:HeadBucket s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads s3:AbortMultipartUpload Note If you are managing your cloud provider credentials with mint mode, the IAM user also requires the iam:CreateAccessKey and iam:CreateUser permissions. Example 4.13. Optional permissions for instance and quota checks for installation ec2:DescribeInstanceTypeOfferings servicequotas:ListAWSDefaultServiceQuotas 4.2.4. Creating an IAM user Each Amazon Web Services (AWS) account contains a root user account that is based on the email address you used to create the account. This is a highly-privileged account, and it is recommended to use it for only initial account and billing configuration, creating an initial set of users, and securing the account. Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, create a secondary IAM administrative user. As you complete the Creating an IAM User in Your AWS Account procedure in the AWS documentation, set the following options: Procedure Specify the IAM user name and select Programmatic access . Attach the AdministratorAccess policy to ensure that the account has sufficient permission to create the cluster. This policy provides the cluster with the ability to grant credentials to each OpenShift Container Platform component. The cluster grants the components only the credentials that they require. Note While it is possible to create a policy that grants the all of the required AWS permissions and attach it to the user, this is not the preferred option. The cluster will not have the ability to grant additional credentials to individual components, so the same credentials are used by all components. Optional: Add metadata to the user by attaching tags. Confirm that the user name that you specified is granted the AdministratorAccess policy. Record the access key ID and secret access key values. You must use these values when you configure your local machine to run the installation program. Important You cannot use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device to authenticate to AWS when you deploy a cluster. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. Additional resources See Manually creating IAM for AWS for steps to set the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to manual mode prior to installation. Use this mode in environments where the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not reachable, or if you prefer not to store an administrator-level credential secret in the cluster kube-system project. 4.2.5. IAM Policies and AWS authentication By default, the installation program creates instance profiles for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute instances with the necessary permissions for the cluster to operate. However, you can create your own IAM roles and specify them as part of the installation process. You might need to specify your own roles to deploy the cluster or to manage the cluster after installation. For example: Your organization's security policies require that you use a more restrictive set of permissions to install the cluster. After the installation, the cluster is configured with an Operator that requires access to additional services. If you choose to specify your own IAM roles, you can take the following steps: Begin with the default policies and adapt as required. For more information, see "Default permissions for IAM instance profiles". Use the AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer (IAM Access Analyzer) to create a policy template that is based on the cluster's activity. For more information see, "Using AWS IAM Analyzer to create policy templates". 4.2.5.1. Default permissions for IAM instance profiles By default, the installation program creates IAM instance profiles for the bootstrap, control plane and worker instances with the necessary permissions for the cluster to operate. The following lists specify the default permissions for control plane and compute machines: Example 4.14. Default IAM role permissions for control plane instance profiles ec2:AttachVolume ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:CreateSecurityGroup ec2:CreateTags ec2:CreateVolume ec2:DeleteSecurityGroup ec2:DeleteVolume ec2:Describe* ec2:DetachVolume ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute ec2:ModifyVolume ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress elasticloadbalancing:AddTags elasticloadbalancing:AttachLoadBalancerToSubnets elasticloadbalancing:ApplySecurityGroupsToLoadBalancer elasticloadbalancing:CreateListener elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancer elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancerPolicy elasticloadbalancing:CreateLoadBalancerListeners elasticloadbalancing:CreateTargetGroup elasticloadbalancing:ConfigureHealthCheck elasticloadbalancing:DeleteListener elasticloadbalancing:DeleteLoadBalancer elasticloadbalancing:DeleteLoadBalancerListeners elasticloadbalancing:DeleteTargetGroup elasticloadbalancing:DeregisterInstancesFromLoadBalancer elasticloadbalancing:DeregisterTargets elasticloadbalancing:Describe* elasticloadbalancing:DetachLoadBalancerFromSubnets elasticloadbalancing:ModifyListener elasticloadbalancing:ModifyLoadBalancerAttributes elasticloadbalancing:ModifyTargetGroup elasticloadbalancing:ModifyTargetGroupAttributes elasticloadbalancing:RegisterInstancesWithLoadBalancer elasticloadbalancing:RegisterTargets elasticloadbalancing:SetLoadBalancerPoliciesForBackendServer elasticloadbalancing:SetLoadBalancerPoliciesOfListener kms:DescribeKey Example 4.15. Default IAM role permissions for compute instance profiles ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeRegions 4.2.5.2. Specifying an existing IAM role Instead of allowing the installation program to create IAM instance profiles with the default permissions, you can use the install-config.yaml file to specify an existing IAM role for control plane and compute instances. Prerequisites You have an existing install-config.yaml file. Procedure Update compute.platform.aws.iamRole with an existing role for the control plane machines. Sample install-config.yaml file with an IAM role for compute instances compute: - hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: aws: iamRole: ExampleRole Update controlPlane.platform.aws.iamRole with an existing role for the compute machines. Sample install-config.yaml file with an IAM role for control plane instances controlPlane: hyperthreading: Enabled name: master platform: aws: iamRole: ExampleRole Save the file and reference it when installing the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Additional resources See Deploying the cluster . 4.2.5.3. Using AWS IAM Analyzer to create policy templates The minimal set of permissions that the control plane and compute instance profiles require depends on how the cluster is configured for its daily operation. One way to determine which permissions the cluster instances require is to use the AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer (IAM Access Analyzer) to create a policy template: A policy template contains the permissions the cluster has used over a specified period of time. You can then use the template to create policies with fine-grained permissions. Procedure The overall process could be: Ensure that CloudTrail is enabled. CloudTrail records all of the actions and events in your AWS account, including the API calls that are required to create a policy template. For more information, see the AWS documentation for working with CloudTrail . Create an instance profile for control plane instances and an instance profile for compute instances. Be sure to assign each role a permissive policy, such as PowerUserAccess. For more information, see the AWS documentation for creating instance profile roles . Install the cluster in a development environment and configure it as required. Be sure to deploy all of applications the cluster will host in a production environment. Test the cluster thoroughly. Testing the cluster ensures that all of the required API calls are logged. Use the IAM Access Analyzer to create a policy template for each instance profile. For more information, see the AWS documentation for generating policies based on the CloudTrail logs . Create and add a fine-grained policy to each instance profile. Remove the permissive policy from each instance profile. Deploy a production cluster using the existing instance profiles with the new policies. Note You can add IAM Conditions to your policy to make it more restrictive and compliant with your organization security requirements. 4.2.6. Supported AWS Marketplace regions Installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image is available to customers who purchase the offer in North America. While the offer must be purchased in North America, you can deploy the cluster to any of the following supported partitions: Public GovCloud Note Deploying a OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image is not supported for the AWS secret regions or China regions. 4.2.7. Supported AWS regions You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the following regions. Note Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources in the region us-east-1 to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region. 4.2.7.1. AWS public regions The following AWS public regions are supported: af-south-1 (Cape Town) ap-east-1 (Hong Kong) ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo) ap-northeast-2 (Seoul) ap-northeast-3 (Osaka) ap-south-1 (Mumbai) ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) ca-central-1 (Central) eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) eu-north-1 (Stockholm) eu-south-1 (Milan) eu-west-1 (Ireland) eu-west-2 (London) eu-west-3 (Paris) me-south-1 (Bahrain) sa-east-1 (Sao Paulo) us-east-1 (N. Virginia) us-east-2 (Ohio) us-west-1 (N. California) us-west-2 (Oregon) 4.2.7.2. AWS GovCloud regions The following AWS GovCloud regions are supported: us-gov-west-1 us-gov-east-1 4.2.7.3. AWS C2S Secret region The us-iso-east-1 region is supported. 4.2.7.4. AWS China regions The following AWS China regions are supported: cn-north-1 (Beijing) cn-northwest-1 (Ningxia) 4.2.8. steps Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Quickly install a cluster 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 Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS by using CloudFormation templates 4.3. Manually creating IAM for AWS 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. 4.3.1. 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: Use the Amazon Web Services Security Token Service : You can use the CCO utility ( ccoctl ) to configure the cluster to use the Amazon Web Services Security Token Service (AWS STS). When the CCO utility is used to configure the cluster for STS, it assigns IAM roles that provide short-term, limited-privilege security credentials to components. Note This credentials strategy is supported for only new OpenShift Container Platform clusters and must be configured during installation. You cannot reconfigure an existing cluster that uses a different credentials strategy to use this feature. 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 To learn how to use the CCO utility ( ccoctl ) to configure the CCO to use the AWS STS, see Using manual mode with STS . To learn how to rotate or remove the administrator-level credential secret after installing OpenShift Container Platform, see 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 . 4.3.2. 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=aws 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: AWSProviderSpec statementEntries: - effect: Allow action: - iam:GetUser - iam:GetUserPolicy - iam:ListAccessKeys resource: "*" ... 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 kind: AWSProviderSpec statementEntries: - effect: Allow action: - s3:CreateBucket - s3:DeleteBucket resource: "*" ... secretRef: name: <component-secret> namespace: <component-namespace> ... Sample Secret object apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: <component-secret> namespace: <component-namespace> data: aws_access_key_id: <base64_encoded_aws_access_key_id> aws_secret_access_key: <base64_encoded_aws_secret_access_key> 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. 4.3.3. 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. 4.3.4. 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. 4.3.5. 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. 4.3.6. steps Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Installing a cluster quickly on AWS 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 Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS by using CloudFormation templates 4.4. Installing a cluster quickly on AWS In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses the default configuration options. 4.4.1. Prerequisites You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes. You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users . You configured an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . Manual mode can also be used in environments where the cloud IAM APIs are not reachable. 4.4.2. 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. 4.4.3. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.4.4. 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. 4.4.5. 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 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 aws as the platform to target. If you do not have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Note The AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in ~/.aws/credentials in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. Additional resources See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration. 4.4.6. 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.

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> 4.4.7. 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 4.4.8. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.4.9. 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 4.4.10. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.5. Installing a cluster on AWS with customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a customized cluster on infrastructure that the installation program provisions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. Note The scope of the OpenShift Container Platform installation configurations is intentionally narrow. It is designed for simplicity and ensured success. You can complete many more OpenShift Container Platform configuration tasks after an installation completes. 4.5.1. 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 an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . 4.5.2. 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. 4.5.3. 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.

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.

Obtaining an AWS Marketplace image If you are deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image, you must first subscribe through AWS. Subscribing to the offer provides you with the AMI ID that the installation program uses to deploy worker nodes. Note Deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image is not supported in the secret regions or China regions. Prerequisites You have an AWS account to purchase the offer. This account does not have to be the same account that is used to install the cluster. Procedure Complete the OpenShift Container Platform subscription from the AWS Marketplace . Record the AMI ID for your specific region. As part of the installation process, you must update the install-config.yaml file with this value before deploying the cluster. Sample install-config.yaml file with AWS Marketplace worker nodes apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com compute: - hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: aws: amiID: ami-06c4d345f7c207239 1 type: m5.4xlarge replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster platform: aws: region: us-east-2 2 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 1 The AMI ID from your AWS Marketplace subscription. 2 Your AMI ID is associated with a specific AWS region. When creating the installation configuration file, ensure that you select the same AWS region that you specified when configuring your subscription. 4.5.5. 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.

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. 4.5.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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 AWS as the platform to target. If you do not have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured 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. 4.5.6.1. 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. 4.5.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.1. 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. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 4.5.6.1.2. 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 4.2. 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 .

For a private cluster, specify a private subnet for each availability zone. Valid subnet IDs. 4.5.6.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.5. 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. 4.5.6.3. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.16. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.5.6.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-west-2a - us-west-2b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-west-2c 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: aws: region: us-west-2 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 12 serviceEndpoints: 13 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com fips: false 14 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 15 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 16 1 10 11 16 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 13 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 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. 4.5.6.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.5.7. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.5.8. 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> 4.5.9. 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 4.5.10. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.5.11. 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. 4.5.12. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.6. Installing a cluster on AWS with network customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with customized network configuration options. 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. You must set most of the network configuration parameters during installation, and you can modify only kubeProxy configuration parameters in a running cluster. 4.6.1. 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 an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . 4.6.2. 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. 4.6.3. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.6.4. 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. 4.6.5. 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. 4.6.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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 AWS as the platform to target. If you do not have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured 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. 4.6.6.1. 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. 4.6.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.6. 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.

Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.10. 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. 4.6.6.3. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.17. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.6.6.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-west-2a - us-west-2b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-west-2c 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: aws: region: us-west-2 12 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 serviceEndpoints: 14 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com fips: false 15 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 16 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 17 1 10 12 17 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 11 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 13 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 14 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 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. 4.6.6.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.6.7. 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 . 4.6.7.1. Cluster Network Operator configuration object The fields for the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) are described in the following table: Table 4.11. 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 4.12. 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 4.13. 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 4.14. 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 4.15. 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 4.16. 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 4.6.8. 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. Note For more information on using a Network Load Balancer (NLB) on AWS, see Configuring Ingress cluster traffic on AWS using a Network Load Balancer . 4.6.9. Configuring an Ingress Controller Network Load Balancer on a new AWS cluster You can create an Ingress Controller backed by an AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB) on a new cluster. Prerequisites Create the install-config.yaml file and complete any modifications to it. Procedure Create an Ingress Controller backed by an AWS NLB on a new cluster. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create the manifests: 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: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: creationTimestamp: null name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: scope: External providerParameters: type: AWS aws: type: NLB type: LoadBalancerService Save the cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file and quit the text editor. Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-ingress-default-ingresscontroller.yaml file. The installation program deletes the manifests/ directory when creating the cluster. 4.6.10. Configuring hybrid networking with OVN-Kubernetes You can configure your cluster to use hybrid networking with OVN-Kubernetes. This allows a hybrid cluster that supports different node networking configurations. For example, this is necessary to run both Linux and Windows nodes in a cluster. Important You must configure hybrid networking with OVN-Kubernetes during the installation of your cluster. You cannot switch to hybrid networking after the installation process. Prerequisites You defined OVNKubernetes for the networking.networkType parameter in the install-config.yaml file. See the installation documentation for configuring OpenShift Container Platform network customizations on your chosen cloud provider for more information. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create the manifests: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> where: <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: USD cat <<EOF > <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: EOF where: <installation_directory> Specifies the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. Open the cluster-network-03-config.yml file in an editor and configure OVN-Kubernetes with hybrid networking, such as in the following example: Specify a hybrid networking configuration apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNetwork: ovnKubernetesConfig: hybridOverlayConfig: hybridClusterNetwork: 1 - cidr: 10.132.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 hybridOverlayVXLANPort: 9898 2 1 Specify the CIDR configuration used for nodes on the additional overlay network. The hybridClusterNetwork CIDR cannot overlap with the clusterNetwork CIDR. 2 Specify a custom VXLAN port for the additional overlay network. This is required for running Windows nodes in a cluster installed on vSphere, and must not be configured for any other cloud provider. The custom port can be any open port excluding the default 4789 port. For more information on this requirement, see the Microsoft documentation on Pod-to-pod connectivity between hosts is broken . Note Windows Server Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC): Windows Server 2019 is not supported on clusters with a custom hybridOverlayVXLANPort value because this Windows server version does not support selecting a custom VXLAN port. Save the cluster-network-03-config.yml file and quit the text editor. Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml file. The installation program deletes the manifests/ directory when creating the cluster. Note For more information on using Linux and Windows nodes in the same cluster, see Understanding Windows container workloads . 4.6.11. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.6.12. 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> 4.6.13. Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI You can log in to your cluster as a default system user by exporting the cluster kubeconfig file. The kubeconfig file contains information about the cluster that is used by the CLI to connect a client to the correct cluster and API server. The file is specific to a cluster and is created during OpenShift Container Platform installation. Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You installed the oc CLI. Procedure Export the kubeadmin credentials: 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 4.6.14. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.6.15. 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. 4.6.16. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.7. Installing a cluster on AWS in a restricted network In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a restricted network by creating an internal mirror of the installation release content on an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). 4.7.1. 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 AWS. When installing to a restricted network using 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 You configured an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix) in the AWS documentation. If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. Note If you are configuring a proxy, be sure to also review this site list. 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 . 4.7.2. 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. 4.7.2.1. 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. 4.7.3. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing AWS 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. Because the installation program cannot know what other components are also in your existing subnets, it cannot choose subnet CIDRs and so forth on your behalf. You must configure networking for the subnets that you install your cluster to yourself. 4.7.3.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program no longer creates the following components: Internet gateways NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPCs VPC DHCP options VPC endpoints 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. If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. See Amazon VPC console wizard configurations and Work with VPCs and subnets in the AWS documentation for more information on creating and managing an AWS VPC. The installation program cannot: Subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use. Set route tables for the subnets. Set VPC options like DHCP. You must complete these tasks before you install the cluster. See VPC networking components and Route tables for your VPC for more information on configuring networking in an AWS VPC. Your VPC must meet the following characteristics: The VPC must not use the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: owned tag. The installation program modifies your subnets to add the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag, so your subnets must have at least one free tag slot available for it. See Tag Restrictions in the AWS documentation to confirm that the installation program can add a tag to each subnet that you specify. You must enable the enableDnsSupport and enableDnsHostnames attributes in your VPC, so that the cluster can use the Route 53 zones that are attached to the VPC to resolve cluster's internal DNS records. See DNS Support in Your VPC in the AWS documentation. If you prefer to use your own Route 53 hosted private zone, you must associate the existing hosted zone with your VPC prior to installing a cluster. You can define your hosted zone using the platform.aws.hostedZone field in the install-config.yaml file. If you use a cluster with public access, you must create a public and a private subnet for each availability zone that your cluster uses. Each availability zone can contain no more than one public and one private subnet. If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To resolve this, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. The endpoints should be named as follows: Government regions ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Top secret region ec2.<region>.c2s.ic.gov elasticloadbalancing.<region>.c2s.ic.gov s3.<region>.c2s.ic.gov Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. 4.7.3.2. 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 private subnets. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. You provide subnets for each availability zone. Each availability zone contains no more than one public and one private subnet. If you use a private cluster, provide only a private subnet for each availability zone. Otherwise, provide exactly one public and private subnet for each availability zone. You provide a public subnet for each private subnet availability zone. Machines are not provisioned in availability zones that you do not provide private subnets for. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. When you remove the OpenShift Container Platform cluster from a VPC, the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag is removed from the subnets that it used. 4.7.3.3. 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 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. The AWS 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 ELBs, security groups, S3 buckets, and nodes. 4.7.3.4. 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 from 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. 4.7.4. 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. 4.7.5. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.7.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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 AWS as the platform to target. If you do not have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured 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 subnets for the VPC to install the cluster in: subnets: - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 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. 4.7.6.1. 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. 4.7.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.17. 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. 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. Note If you are using Azure File storage, you cannot enable FIPS mode. false or true imageContentSources Sources and repositories for the release-image content. Array of objects. Includes a source and, optionally, mirrors , as described in the following rows of this table. imageContentSources.source Required if you use imageContentSources .

For a private cluster, specify a private subnet for each availability zone. Valid subnet IDs. 4.7.6.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.21. 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. 4.7.6.3. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-west-2a - us-west-2b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-west-2c 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: aws: region: us-west-2 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 subnets: 12 - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 serviceEndpoints: 14 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com hostedZone: Z3URY6TWQ91KVV 15 fips: false 16 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 17 pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<local_registry>": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' 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 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 If you provide your own VPC, specify subnets for each availability zone that your cluster uses. 13 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 14 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 15 The ID of your existing Route 53 private hosted zone. Providing an existing hosted zone requires that you supply your own VPC and the hosted zone is already associated with the VPC prior to installing your cluster. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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. 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. 4.7.6.4. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.7.7. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.7.8. 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.

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> 4.7.9. 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 4.7.10. 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. 4.7.11. 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 4.7.12. 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 . 4.8. Installing a cluster on AWS into an existing VPC In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster into an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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. 4.8.1. 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 an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . 4.8.2. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing AWS 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. Because the installation program cannot know what other components are also in your existing subnets, it cannot choose subnet CIDRs and so forth on your behalf. You must configure networking for the subnets that you install your cluster to yourself. 4.8.2.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program no longer creates the following components: Internet gateways NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPCs VPC DHCP options VPC endpoints 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. If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. See Amazon VPC console wizard configurations and Work with VPCs and subnets in the AWS documentation for more information on creating and managing an AWS VPC. The installation program cannot: Subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use. Set route tables for the subnets. Set VPC options like DHCP. You must complete these tasks before you install the cluster. See VPC networking components and Route tables for your VPC for more information on configuring networking in an AWS VPC. Your VPC must meet the following characteristics: Create a public and private subnet for each availability zone that your cluster uses. Each availability zone can contain no more than one public and one private subnet. For an example of this type of configuration, see VPC with public and private subnets (NAT) in the AWS documentation. Record each subnet ID. Completing the installation requires that you enter these values in the platform section of the install-config.yaml file. See Finding a subnet ID in the AWS documentation. The VPC's CIDR block must contain the Networking.MachineCIDR range, which is the IP address pool for cluster machines. The subnet CIDR blocks must belong to the machine CIDR that you specify. The VPC must have a public internet gateway attached to it. For each availability zone: The public subnet requires a route to the internet gateway. The public subnet requires a NAT gateway with an EIP address. The private subnet requires a route to the NAT gateway in public subnet. The VPC must not use the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: owned tag. The installation program modifies your subnets to add the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag, so your subnets must have at least one free tag slot available for it. See Tag Restrictions in the AWS documentation to confirm that the installation program can add a tag to each subnet that you specify. You must enable the enableDnsSupport and enableDnsHostnames attributes in your VPC, so that the cluster can use the Route 53 zones that are attached to the VPC to resolve cluster's internal DNS records. See DNS Support in Your VPC in the AWS documentation. If you prefer to use your own Route 53 hosted private zone, you must associate the existing hosted zone with your VPC prior to installing a cluster. You can define your hosted zone using the platform.aws.hostedZone field in the install-config.yaml file. If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To resolve this, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. The endpoints should be named as follows: Government regions ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Top secret region ec2.<region>.c2s.ic.gov elasticloadbalancing.<region>.c2s.ic.gov s3.<region>.c2s.ic.gov Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. 4.8.2.2. 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 private subnets. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. You provide subnets for each availability zone. Each availability zone contains no more than one public and one private subnet. If you use a private cluster, provide only a private subnet for each availability zone. Otherwise, provide exactly one public and private subnet for each availability zone. You provide a public subnet for each private subnet availability zone. Machines are not provisioned in availability zones that you do not provide private subnets for. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. When you remove the OpenShift Container Platform cluster from a VPC, the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag is removed from the subnets that it used. 4.8.2.3. 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 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. The AWS 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 ELBs, security groups, S3 buckets, and nodes. 4.8.2.4. 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 from 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. 4.8.3. 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. 4.8.4. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.8.5. 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. 4.8.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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 AWS as the platform to target. If you do not have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured 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. 4.8.6.1. 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. 4.8.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.22. 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 4.23. 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.

For a private cluster, specify a private subnet for each availability zone. Valid subnet IDs. 4.8.6.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.26. 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. 4.8.6.3. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.18.

Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-west-2a - us-west-2b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-west-2c 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: aws: region: us-west-2 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 subnets: 12 - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 serviceEndpoints: 14 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com hostedZone: Z3URY6TWQ91KVV 15 fips: false 16 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 17 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 18 1 10 11 18 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 If you provide your own VPC, specify subnets for each availability zone that your cluster uses. 13 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 14 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 15 The ID of your existing Route 53 private hosted zone. Providing an existing hosted zone requires that you supply your own VPC and the hosted zone is already associated with the VPC prior to installing your cluster. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. 16 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. 17 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. 4.8.6.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.8.7. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.8.8. 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> 4.8.9. 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 4.8.10. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.8.11. 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. 4.8.12. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.9. Installing a private cluster on AWS In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a private cluster into an existing VPC on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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. 4.9.1. 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 an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . 4.9.2. 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. 4.9.2.1. Private clusters in AWS To create a private cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS), 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 access from only the private network. The cluster still requires access to internet to access the AWS APIs. The following items are not required or created when you install a private cluster: Public subnets Public load balancers, which support public ingress A public Route 53 zone that matches the baseDomain for the cluster The installation program does use the baseDomain that you specify to create a private Route 53 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. 4.9.2.1.1. Limitations The ability to add public functionality to a private cluster is limited. You cannot make the Kubernetes API endpoints public after installation without taking additional actions, including creating public subnets in the VPC for each availability zone in use, creating a public load balancer, and configuring the control plane security groups to allow traffic from the internet on 6443 (Kubernetes API port). If you use a public Service type load balancer, you must tag a public subnet in each availability zone with kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-infra-id>: shared so that AWS can use them to create public load balancers. 4.9.3. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing AWS 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. Because the installation program cannot know what other components are also in your existing subnets, it cannot choose subnet CIDRs and so forth on your behalf. You must configure networking for the subnets that you install your cluster to yourself. 4.9.3.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program no longer creates the following components: Internet gateways NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPCs VPC DHCP options VPC endpoints 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. If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. See Amazon VPC console wizard configurations and Work with VPCs and subnets in the AWS documentation for more information on creating and managing an AWS VPC. The installation program cannot: Subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use. Set route tables for the subnets. Set VPC options like DHCP. You must complete these tasks before you install the cluster. See VPC networking components and Route tables for your VPC for more information on configuring networking in an AWS VPC. Your VPC must meet the following characteristics: The VPC must not use the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: owned tag. The installation program modifies your subnets to add the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag, so your subnets must have at least one free tag slot available for it. See Tag Restrictions in the AWS documentation to confirm that the installation program can add a tag to each subnet that you specify. You must enable the enableDnsSupport and enableDnsHostnames attributes in your VPC, so that the cluster can use the Route 53 zones that are attached to the VPC to resolve cluster's internal DNS records. See DNS Support in Your VPC in the AWS documentation. If you prefer to use your own Route 53 hosted private zone, you must associate the existing hosted zone with your VPC prior to installing a cluster. You can define your hosted zone using the platform.aws.hostedZone field in the install-config.yaml file. If you use a cluster with public access, you must create a public and a private subnet for each availability zone that your cluster uses. Each availability zone can contain no more than one public and one private subnet. If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To resolve this, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. The endpoints should be named as follows: Government regions ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Top secret region ec2.<region>.c2s.ic.gov elasticloadbalancing.<region>.c2s.ic.gov s3.<region>.c2s.ic.gov Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. 4.9.3.2. 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 private subnets. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. You provide subnets for each availability zone. Each availability zone contains no more than one public and one private subnet. If you use a private cluster, provide only a private subnet for each availability zone. Otherwise, provide exactly one public and private subnet for each availability zone. You provide a public subnet for each private subnet availability zone. Machines are not provisioned in availability zones that you do not provide private subnets for. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. When you remove the OpenShift Container Platform cluster from a VPC, the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag is removed from the subnets that it used. 4.9.3.3. 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 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. The AWS 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 ELBs, security groups, S3 buckets, and nodes. 4.9.3.4. 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 from 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. 4.9.4. 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. 4.9.5. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.9.6. 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. 4.9.7. 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. 4.9.7.1. 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. 4.9.7.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.27. 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. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 4.9.7.1.2. 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 4.28. 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 .

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. 4.9.7.1.3.

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. 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. Note If you are using Azure File storage, you cannot enable FIPS mode. false or true imageContentSources Sources and repositories for the release-image content. Array of objects. Includes a source and, optionally, mirrors , as described in the following rows of this table. imageContentSources.source Required if you use imageContentSources .

This is required for regions that require a custom RHCOS AMI. Any published or custom RHCOS AMI that belongs to the set AWS region. platform.aws.hostedZone An existing Route 53 private hosted zone for the cluster. You can only use a pre-existing hosted zone when also supplying your own VPC. The hosted zone must already be associated with the user-provided VPC before installation. Also, the domain of the hosted zone must be the cluster domain or a parent of the cluster domain. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. String, for example Z3URY6TWQ91KVV . platform.aws.serviceEndpoints.name The AWS service endpoint name. Custom endpoints are only required for cases where alternative AWS endpoints, like FIPS, must be used. Custom API endpoints can be specified for EC2, S3, IAM, Elastic Load Balancing, Tagging, Route 53, and STS AWS services.

Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.31. 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. 4.9.7.3. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.19. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.9.7.4. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-west-2a - us-west-2b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-west-2c 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: aws: region: us-west-2 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 subnets: 12 - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 serviceEndpoints: 14 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com hostedZone: Z3URY6TWQ91KVV 15 fips: false 16 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 17 publish: Internal 18 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 19 1 10 11 19 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 If you provide your own VPC, specify subnets for each availability zone that your cluster uses. 13 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 14 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 15 The ID of your existing Route 53 private hosted zone. Providing an existing hosted zone requires that you supply your own VPC and the hosted zone is already associated with the VPC prior to installing your cluster. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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 . 4.9.7.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.9.8. 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 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. 4.9.9. 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.

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 4.9.11. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.9.12. 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. 4.9.13. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.10. Installing a cluster on AWS into a government or secret region In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) into a government or secret region. To configure the region, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. 4.10.1. 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 . You configured an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 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 . 4.10.2. AWS government and secret regions OpenShift Container Platform supports deploying a cluster to AWS GovCloud (US) regions and the AWS Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) Top Secret Region . These regions are specifically designed for US government agencies at the federal, state, and local level, as well as contractors, educational institutions, and other US customers that must run sensitive workloads in the cloud. These regions do not have published Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Images (AMI) to select, so you must upload a custom AMI that belongs to that region. The following AWS GovCloud partitions are supported: us-gov-west-1 us-gov-east-1 The following AWS Top Secret Region partition is supported: us-iso-east-1 Note The maximum supported MTU in an AWS Top Secret Region is not the same as AWS commercial. For more information about configuring MTU during installation, see the Cluster Network Operator configuration object section in Installing a cluster on AWS with network customizations . 4.10.3. Installation requirments Red Hat does not publish a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amzaon Machine Image for the AWS government or secret regions. Before you can install the cluster, you must: Upload a custom RHCOS AMI. Manually create the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ). Specify the AWS region, and the accompanying custom AMI, in the installation configuration file. You cannot use the OpenShift Container Platform installation program to create the installation configuration file. The installer does not list an AWS region without native support for an RHCOS AMI. Important If you are deploying to the C2S Top Secret Region, you must also define a custom CA certificate in the additionalTrustBundle field of the install-config.yaml file because the AWS API requires a custom CA trust bundle. To allow the installation program to access the AWS API, the CA certificates must also be defined on the machine that runs the installation program. You must add the CA bundle to the trust store on the machine, use the AWS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable, or define the CA bundle in the ca_bundle field of the AWS config file. 4.10.4. 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. Note Public zones are not supported in Route 53 in AWS GovCloud or Top Secret Regions. Therefore, clusters must be private if they are deployed to an AWS government or secret region. 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. 4.10.4.1. Private clusters in AWS To create a private cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS), 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 access from only the private network. The cluster still requires access to internet to access the AWS APIs. The following items are not required or created when you install a private cluster: Public subnets Public load balancers, which support public ingress A public Route 53 zone that matches the baseDomain for the cluster The installation program does use the baseDomain that you specify to create a private Route 53 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. 4.10.4.1.1. Limitations The ability to add public functionality to a private cluster is limited. You cannot make the Kubernetes API endpoints public after installation without taking additional actions, including creating public subnets in the VPC for each availability zone in use, creating a public load balancer, and configuring the control plane security groups to allow traffic from the internet on 6443 (Kubernetes API port). If you use a public Service type load balancer, you must tag a public subnet in each availability zone with kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-infra-id>: shared so that AWS can use them to create public load balancers. 4.10.5. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing AWS 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. Because the installation program cannot know what other components are also in your existing subnets, it cannot choose subnet CIDRs and so forth on your behalf. You must configure networking for the subnets that you install your cluster to yourself. 4.10.5.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program no longer creates the following components: Internet gateways NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPCs VPC DHCP options VPC endpoints 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. If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. See Amazon VPC console wizard configurations and Work with VPCs and subnets in the AWS documentation for more information on creating and managing an AWS VPC. The installation program cannot: Subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use. Set route tables for the subnets. Set VPC options like DHCP. You must complete these tasks before you install the cluster. See VPC networking components and Route tables for your VPC for more information on configuring networking in an AWS VPC. Your VPC must meet the following characteristics: The VPC must not use the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: owned tag. The installation program modifies your subnets to add the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag, so your subnets must have at least one free tag slot available for it. See Tag Restrictions in the AWS documentation to confirm that the installation program can add a tag to each subnet that you specify. You must enable the enableDnsSupport and enableDnsHostnames attributes in your VPC, so that the cluster can use the Route 53 zones that are attached to the VPC to resolve cluster's internal DNS records. See DNS Support in Your VPC in the AWS documentation. If you prefer to use your own Route 53 hosted private zone, you must associate the existing hosted zone with your VPC prior to installing a cluster. You can define your hosted zone using the platform.aws.hostedZone field in the install-config.yaml file. If you use a cluster with public access, you must create a public and a private subnet for each availability zone that your cluster uses. Each availability zone can contain no more than one public and one private subnet. If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To resolve this, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. The endpoints should be named as follows: Government regions ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Top secret region ec2.<region>.c2s.ic.gov elasticloadbalancing.<region>.c2s.ic.gov s3.<region>.c2s.ic.gov Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. 4.10.5.2. 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 private subnets. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. You provide subnets for each availability zone. Each availability zone contains no more than one public and one private subnet. If you use a private cluster, provide only a private subnet for each availability zone. Otherwise, provide exactly one public and private subnet for each availability zone. You provide a public subnet for each private subnet availability zone. Machines are not provisioned in availability zones that you do not provide private subnets for. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. When you remove the OpenShift Container Platform cluster from a VPC, the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag is removed from the subnets that it used. 4.10.5.3. 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 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. The AWS 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 ELBs, security groups, S3 buckets, and nodes. 4.10.5.4. 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 from 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. 4.10.6. 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. 4.10.7. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.10.8. Uploading a custom RHCOS AMI in AWS If you are deploying to a custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) region, you must upload a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that belongs to that region. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You created an Amazon S3 bucket with the required IAM service role . You uploaded your RHCOS VMDK file to Amazon S3. The RHCOS VMDK file must be the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version you are installing. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer . Procedure Export your AWS profile as an environment variable: USD export AWS_PROFILE=<aws_profile> 1 1 The AWS profile name that holds your AWS credentials, like govcloud . Export the region to associate with your custom AMI as an environment variable: USD export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region> 1 1 The AWS region, like us-gov-east-1 . Export the version of RHCOS you uploaded to Amazon S3 as an environment variable: USD export RHCOS_VERSION=<version> 1 1 The RHCOS VMDK version, like 4.9.0 . Export the Amazon S3 bucket name as an environment variable: USD export VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME=<s3_bucket_name> Create the containers.json file and define your RHCOS VMDK file: USD cat <<EOF > containers.json { "Description": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "Format": "vmdk", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "USD{VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME}", "S3Key": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } EOF Import the RHCOS disk as an Amazon EBS snapshot: USD aws ec2 import-snapshot --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --description "<description>" \ 1 --disk-container "file://<file_path>/containers.json" 2 1 The description of your RHCOS disk being imported, like rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64 . 2 The file path to the JSON file describing your RHCOS disk. The JSON file should contain your Amazon S3 bucket name and key. Check the status of the image import: USD watch -n 5 aws ec2 describe-import-snapshot-tasks --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} Example output { "ImportSnapshotTasks": [ { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "ImportTaskId": "import-snap-fh6i8uil", "SnapshotTaskDetail": { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "DiskImageSize": 819056640.0, "Format": "VMDK", "SnapshotId": "snap-06331325870076318", "Status": "completed", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "external-images", "S3Key": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } } ] } Copy the SnapshotId to register the image. Create a custom RHCOS AMI from the RHCOS snapshot: USD aws ec2 register-image \ --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --architecture x86_64 \ 1 --description "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 2 --ena-support \ --name "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 3 --virtualization-type hvm \ --root-device-name '/dev/xvda' \ --block-device-mappings 'DeviceName=/dev/xvda,Ebs={DeleteOnTermination=true,SnapshotId=<snapshot_ID>}' 4 1 The RHCOS VMDK architecture type, like x86_64 , s390x , or ppc64le . 2 The Description from the imported snapshot. 3 The name of the RHCOS AMI. 4 The SnapshotID from the imported snapshot. To learn more about these APIs, see the AWS documentation for importing snapshots and creating EBS-backed AMIs . 4.10.9. Obtaining an AWS Marketplace image If you are deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image, you must first subscribe through AWS. Subscribing to the offer provides you with the AMI ID that the installation program uses to deploy worker nodes. Note Deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image is not supported in the secret regions or China regions. Prerequisites You have an AWS account to purchase the offer. This account does not have to be the same account that is used to install the cluster. Procedure Complete the OpenShift Container Platform subscription from the AWS Marketplace . Record the AMI ID for your specific region. As part of the installation process, you must update the install-config.yaml file with this value before deploying the cluster. Sample install-config.yaml file with AWS Marketplace worker nodes apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com compute: - hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: aws: amiID: ami-06c4d345f7c207239 1 type: m5.4xlarge replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster platform: aws: region: us-gov-west-1 2 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 1 The AMI ID from your AWS Marketplace subscription. 2 Your AMI ID is associated with a specific AWS region. When creating the installation configuration file, ensure that you select the same AWS region that you specified when configuring your subscription. 4.10.10. 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. 4.10.11. Manually creating the installation configuration file When installing OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) into a region requiring a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI, you must manually generate your installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have uploaded a custom RHCOS AMI. 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 . 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. 4.10.11.1. 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. 4.10.11.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.32. 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. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 4.10.11.1.2. 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 4.33. 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 .

For a private cluster, specify a private subnet for each availability zone. Valid subnet IDs. 4.10.11.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.36. 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. 4.10.11.3. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.20.

Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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. Use it as a resource to enter parameter values into the installation configuration file that you created manually. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - us-gov-west-1a - us-gov-west-1b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - us-gov-west-1c 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: aws: region: us-gov-west-1 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 subnets: 12 - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 14 serviceEndpoints: 15 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.us-west-2.vpce.amazonaws.com hostedZone: Z3URY6TWQ91KVV 16 fips: false 17 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 18 publish: Internal 19 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 20 additionalTrustBundle: | 21 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- 1 10 11 13 20 Required. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 If you provide your own VPC, specify subnets for each availability zone that your cluster uses. 14 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 15 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 16 The ID of your existing Route 53 private hosted zone. Providing an existing hosted zone requires that you supply your own VPC and the hosted zone is already associated with the VPC prior to installing your cluster. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. 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 . 21 The custom CA certificate. This is required when deploying to the AWS C2S Top Secret Region because the AWS API requires a custom CA trust bundle. 4.10.11.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.10.12. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.10.13. 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.

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> 4.10.14. 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 4.10.15. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.10.16. 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. 4.10.17. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.11. Installing a cluster on AWS China In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster to the following Amazon Web Services (AWS) China regions: cn-north-1 (Beijing) cn-northwest-1 (Ningxia) 4.11.1. Prerequisites You have an Internet Content Provider (ICP) license. You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes. You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users . You configured an AWS account to host the cluster. 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 . Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. 4.11.2. Installation requirments Red Hat does not publish a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the AWS China regions. Before you can install the cluster, you must: Upload a custom RHCOS AMI. Manually create the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ). Specify the AWS region, and the accompanying custom AMI, in the installation configuration file. You cannot use the OpenShift Container Platform installation program to create the installation configuration file. The installer does not list an AWS region without native support for an RHCOS AMI. 4.11.3. 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. 4.11.4. 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. Note AWS China does not support a VPN connection between the VPC and your network. For more information about the Amazon VPC service in the Beijing and Ningxia regions, see Amazon Virtual Private Cloud in the AWS China documentation. 4.11.4.1. Private clusters in AWS To create a private cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS), 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 access from only the private network. The cluster still requires access to internet to access the AWS APIs. The following items are not required or created when you install a private cluster: Public subnets Public load balancers, which support public ingress A public Route 53 zone that matches the baseDomain for the cluster The installation program does use the baseDomain that you specify to create a private Route 53 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. 4.11.4.1.1. Limitations The ability to add public functionality to a private cluster is limited. You cannot make the Kubernetes API endpoints public after installation without taking additional actions, including creating public subnets in the VPC for each availability zone in use, creating a public load balancer, and configuring the control plane security groups to allow traffic from the internet on 6443 (Kubernetes API port). If you use a public Service type load balancer, you must tag a public subnet in each availability zone with kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-infra-id>: shared so that AWS can use them to create public load balancers. 4.11.5. About using a custom VPC In OpenShift Container Platform 4.9, you can deploy a cluster into existing subnets in an existing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). By deploying OpenShift Container Platform into an existing AWS 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. Because the installation program cannot know what other components are also in your existing subnets, it cannot choose subnet CIDRs and so forth on your behalf. You must configure networking for the subnets that you install your cluster to yourself. 4.11.5.1. Requirements for using your VPC The installation program no longer creates the following components: Internet gateways NAT gateways Subnets Route tables VPCs VPC DHCP options VPC endpoints 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. If you use a custom VPC, you must correctly configure it and its subnets for the installation program and the cluster to use. See Amazon VPC console wizard configurations and Work with VPCs and subnets in the AWS documentation for more information on creating and managing an AWS VPC. The installation program cannot: Subdivide network ranges for the cluster to use. Set route tables for the subnets. Set VPC options like DHCP. You must complete these tasks before you install the cluster. See VPC networking components and Route tables for your VPC for more information on configuring networking in an AWS VPC. Your VPC must meet the following characteristics: The VPC must not use the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: owned tag. The installation program modifies your subnets to add the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag, so your subnets must have at least one free tag slot available for it. See Tag Restrictions in the AWS documentation to confirm that the installation program can add a tag to each subnet that you specify. You must enable the enableDnsSupport and enableDnsHostnames attributes in your VPC, so that the cluster can use the Route 53 zones that are attached to the VPC to resolve cluster's internal DNS records. See DNS Support in Your VPC in the AWS documentation. If you prefer to use your own Route 53 hosted private zone, you must associate the existing hosted zone with your VPC prior to installing a cluster. You can define your hosted zone using the platform.aws.hostedZone field in the install-config.yaml file. If you use a cluster with public access, you must create a public and a private subnet for each availability zone that your cluster uses. Each availability zone can contain no more than one public and one private subnet. If you are working in a disconnected environment, you are unable to reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To resolve this, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. The endpoints should be named as follows: ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com.cn elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. 4.11.5.2. 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 private subnets. The subnet CIDRs belong to the machine CIDR that you specified. You provide subnets for each availability zone. Each availability zone contains no more than one public and one private subnet. If you use a private cluster, provide only a private subnet for each availability zone. Otherwise, provide exactly one public and private subnet for each availability zone. You provide a public subnet for each private subnet availability zone. Machines are not provisioned in availability zones that you do not provide private subnets for. If you destroy a cluster that uses an existing VPC, the VPC is not deleted. When you remove the OpenShift Container Platform cluster from a VPC, the kubernetes.io/cluster/.*: shared tag is removed from the subnets that it used. 4.11.5.3. 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 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. The AWS 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 ELBs, security groups, S3 buckets, and nodes. 4.11.5.4. 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 from 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. 4.11.6. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 4.11.7. Uploading a custom RHCOS AMI in AWS If you are deploying to a custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) region, you must upload a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that belongs to that region. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You created an Amazon S3 bucket with the required IAM service role . You uploaded your RHCOS VMDK file to Amazon S3. The RHCOS VMDK file must be the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version you are installing. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer . Procedure Export your AWS profile as an environment variable: USD export AWS_PROFILE=<aws_profile> 1 1 The AWS profile name that holds your AWS credentials, like beijingadmin . Export the region to associate with your custom AMI as an environment variable: USD export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region> 1 1 The AWS region, like cn-north-1 . Export the version of RHCOS you uploaded to Amazon S3 as an environment variable: USD export RHCOS_VERSION=<version> 1 1 The RHCOS VMDK version, like 4.9.0 . Export the Amazon S3 bucket name as an environment variable: USD export VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME=<s3_bucket_name> Create the containers.json file and define your RHCOS VMDK file: USD cat <<EOF > containers.json { "Description": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "Format": "vmdk", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "USD{VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME}", "S3Key": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } EOF Import the RHCOS disk as an Amazon EBS snapshot: USD aws ec2 import-snapshot --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --description "<description>" \ 1 --disk-container "file://<file_path>/containers.json" 2 1 The description of your RHCOS disk being imported, like rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64 . 2 The file path to the JSON file describing your RHCOS disk. The JSON file should contain your Amazon S3 bucket name and key. Check the status of the image import: USD watch -n 5 aws ec2 describe-import-snapshot-tasks --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} Example output { "ImportSnapshotTasks": [ { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "ImportTaskId": "import-snap-fh6i8uil", "SnapshotTaskDetail": { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "DiskImageSize": 819056640.0, "Format": "VMDK", "SnapshotId": "snap-06331325870076318", "Status": "completed", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "external-images", "S3Key": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } } ] } Copy the SnapshotId to register the image. Create a custom RHCOS AMI from the RHCOS snapshot: USD aws ec2 register-image \ --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --architecture x86_64 \ 1 --description "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 2 --ena-support \ --name "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 3 --virtualization-type hvm \ --root-device-name '/dev/xvda' \ --block-device-mappings 'DeviceName=/dev/xvda,Ebs={DeleteOnTermination=true,SnapshotId=<snapshot_ID>}' 4 1 The RHCOS VMDK architecture type, like x86_64 , s390x , or ppc64le . 2 The Description from the imported snapshot. 3 The name of the RHCOS AMI. 4 The SnapshotID from the imported snapshot. To learn more about these APIs, see the AWS documentation for importing snapshots and creating EBS-backed AMIs . 4.11.8. 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. 4.11.9. Manually creating the installation configuration file When installing OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) into a region requiring a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI, you must manually generate your installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have uploaded a custom RHCOS AMI. 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 . 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. 4.11.9.1. 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. 4.11.9.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.37. 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. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 4.11.9.1.2. 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 4.38. 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. 4.11.9.1.3. Optional configuration parameters Optional installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 4.39. 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. 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. Note If you are using Azure File storage, you cannot enable FIPS mode. false or true imageContentSources Sources and repositories for the release-image content. Array of objects. Includes a source and, optionally, mirrors , as described in the following rows of this table. imageContentSources.source Required if you use imageContentSources . Specify the repository that users refer to, for example, in image pull specifications. String imageContentSources.mirrors Specify one or more repositories that may also contain the same images. Array of strings publish How to publish or expose the user-facing endpoints of your cluster, such as the Kubernetes API, OpenShift routes. Internal or External . The default value is External . Setting this field to Internal is not supported on non-cloud platforms. sshKey The SSH key or keys to authenticate 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. One or more keys. For example: 4.11.9.2. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for AWS You can customize the installation configuration file ( install-config.yaml ) 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. Use it as a resource to enter parameter values into the installation configuration file that you created manually. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 credentialsMode: Mint 2 controlPlane: 3 4 hyperthreading: Enabled 5 name: master platform: aws: zones: - cn-north-1a - cn-north-1b rootVolume: iops: 4000 size: 500 type: io1 6 type: m5.xlarge replicas: 3 compute: 7 - hyperthreading: Enabled 8 name: worker platform: aws: rootVolume: iops: 2000 size: 500 type: io1 9 type: c5.4xlarge zones: - cn-north-1a 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: aws: region: cn-north-1 11 userTags: adminContact: jdoe costCenter: 7536 subnets: 12 - subnet-1 - subnet-2 - subnet-3 amiID: ami-96c6f8f7 13 14 serviceEndpoints: 15 - name: ec2 url: https://vpce-id.ec2.cn-north-1.vpce.amazonaws.com.cn hostedZone: Z3URY6TWQ91KVV 16 fips: false 17 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 18 publish: Internal 19 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 20 1 10 11 13 20 Required. 2 Optional: Add this parameter to force the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) to use the specified mode, instead of having the CCO dynamically try to determine the capabilities of the credentials. For details about CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Platform Operators reference content. 3 7 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 4 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. 5 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 instance types, such as m4.2xlarge or m5.2xlarge , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 6 9 To configure faster storage for etcd, especially for larger clusters, set the storage type as io1 and set iops to 2000 . 12 If you provide your own VPC, specify subnets for each availability zone that your cluster uses. 14 The ID of the AMI used to boot machines for the cluster. If set, the AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 15 The AWS service endpoints. Custom endpoints are required when installing to an unknown AWS region. The endpoint URL must use the https protocol and the host must trust the certificate. 16 The ID of your existing Route 53 private hosted zone. Providing an existing hosted zone requires that you supply your own VPC and the hosted zone is already associated with the VPC prior to installing your cluster. If undefined, the installation program creates a new hosted zone. 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 . 4.11.9.3. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.40. 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. 4.11.9.4. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.21. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.11.9.5. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com.cn , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.11.10. 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 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: Remove or disable the AdministratorAccess policy from the IAM account that you used to install the cluster. Note The elevated permissions provided by the AdministratorAccess policy are required only during installation. 4.11.11. 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> 4.11.12. 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 4.11.13. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. 4.11.14. 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 Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service. 4.11.15. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.12. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS by using CloudFormation templates In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provide. One way to create this infrastructure is to use the provided CloudFormation templates. You can modify the templates to customize your infrastructure or use the information that they contain to create AWS objects according to your company's policies. Important The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of OpenShift Container Platform. Several CloudFormation templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example. 4.12.1. 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 configured an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or UNIX) in the AWS documentation. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. Note Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy. If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system namespace, you can manually create and maintain IAM credentials . 4.12.2. 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. 4.12.3. 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. 4.12.3.1. Required machines for cluster installation The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts: Table 4.41. 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 . 4.12.3.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.42. 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. 4.12.3.3. Certificate signing requests management Because your cluster has limited access to automatic machine management when you use infrastructure that you provision, you must provide a mechanism for approving cluster certificate signing requests (CSRs) after installation. The kube-controller-manager only approves the kubelet client CSRs. The machine-approver cannot guarantee the validity of a serving certificate that is requested by using kubelet credentials because it cannot confirm that the correct machine issued the request. You must determine and implement a method of verifying the validity of the kubelet serving certificate requests and approving them. 4.12.3.4. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.22. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.12.4. Required AWS infrastructure components To install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must manually create both the machines and their supporting infrastructure. For more information about the integration testing for different platforms, see the OpenShift Container Platform 4.x Tested Integrations page. By using the provided CloudFormation templates, you can create stacks of AWS resources that represent the following components: An AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Networking and load balancing components Security groups and roles An OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap node OpenShift Container Platform control plane nodes An OpenShift Container Platform compute node Alternatively, you can manually create the components or you can reuse existing infrastructure that meets the cluster requirements. Review the CloudFormation templates for more details about how the components interrelate. 4.12.4.1. Other infrastructure components A VPC DNS entries Load balancers (classic or network) and listeners A public and a private Route 53 zone Security groups IAM roles S3 buckets If you are working in a disconnected environment or use a proxy, you cannot reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To reach these endpoints, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. Create the following endpoints: ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. Required DNS and load balancing components Your DNS and load balancer configuration needs to use a public hosted zone and can use a private hosted zone similar to the one that the installation program uses if it provisions the cluster's infrastructure. You must create a DNS entry that resolves to your load balancer. An entry for api.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the external load balancer, and an entry for api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the internal load balancer. The cluster also requires load balancers and listeners for port 6443, which are required for the Kubernetes API and its extensions, and port 22623, which are required for the Ignition config files for new machines. The targets will be the control plane nodes. Port 6443 must be accessible to both clients external to the cluster and nodes within the cluster. Port 22623 must be accessible to nodes within the cluster. Component AWS type Description DNS AWS::Route53::HostedZone The hosted zone for your internal DNS. etcd record sets AWS::Route53::RecordSet The registration records for etcd for your control plane machines. Public load balancer AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer The load balancer for your public subnets. External API server record AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup Alias records for the external API server. External listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 6443 for the external load balancer. External target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the external load balancer. Private load balancer AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer The load balancer for your private subnets. Internal API server record AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup Alias records for the internal API server. Internal listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 22623 for the internal load balancer. Internal target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the internal load balancer. Internal listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 6443 for the internal load balancer. Internal target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the internal load balancer. Security groups The control plane and worker machines require access to the following ports: Group Type IP Protocol Port range MasterSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup icmp 0 tcp 22 tcp 6443 tcp 22623 WorkerSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup icmp 0 tcp 22 BootstrapSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup tcp 22 tcp 19531 Control plane Ingress The control plane machines require the following Ingress groups.

The provided CloudFormation templates grant the machines Allow permissions for the following AWS::IAM::Role objects and provide a AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile for each set of roles. If you do not use the templates, you can grant the machines the following broad permissions or the following individual permissions. Role Effect Action Resource Master Allow ec2:* * Allow elasticloadbalancing:* * Allow iam:PassRole * Allow s3:GetObject * Worker Allow ec2:Describe* * Bootstrap Allow ec2:Describe* * Allow ec2:AttachVolume * Allow ec2:DetachVolume * 4.12.4.2. Cluster machines You need AWS::EC2::Instance objects for the following machines: A bootstrap machine. This machine is required during installation, but you can remove it after your cluster deploys. Three control plane machines. The control plane machines are not governed by a machine set. Compute machines. You must create at least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, during installation. These machines are not governed by a machine set. 4.12.4.3. Required AWS permissions for the IAM user Note Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources in the region us-east-1 to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region. When you attach the AdministratorAccess policy to the IAM user that you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you grant that user all of the required permissions. To deploy all components of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the IAM user requires the following permissions: Example 4.23. Required EC2 permissions for installation ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:CopyImage ec2:CreateNetworkInterface ec2:AttachNetworkInterface ec2:CreateSecurityGroup ec2:CreateTags ec2:CreateVolume ec2:DeleteSecurityGroup ec2:DeleteSnapshot ec2:DeleteTags ec2:DeregisterImage ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes ec2:DescribeAddresses ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones ec2:DescribeDhcpOptions ec2:DescribeImages ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute ec2:DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes ec2:DescribeInternetGateways ec2:DescribeKeyPairs ec2:DescribeNatGateways ec2:DescribeNetworkAcls ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces ec2:DescribePrefixLists ec2:DescribeRegions ec2:DescribeRouteTables ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups ec2:DescribeSubnets ec2:DescribeTags ec2:DescribeVolumes ec2:DescribeVpcAttribute ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLink ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLinkDnsSupport ec2:DescribeVpcEndpoints ec2:DescribeVpcs ec2:GetEbsDefaultKmsKeyId ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:RunInstances ec2:TerminateInstances Example 4.24.

Example 4.35. Optional permissions for instance and quota checks for installation ec2:DescribeInstanceTypeOfferings servicequotas:ListAWSDefaultServiceQuotas 4.12.5. Obtaining an AWS Marketplace image If you are deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image, you must first subscribe through AWS. Subscribing to the offer provides you with the AMI ID that the installation program uses to deploy worker nodes. Note Deploying an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an AWS Marketplace image is not supported in the secret regions or China regions. Prerequisites You have an AWS account to purchase the offer. This account does not have to be the same account that is used to install the cluster. Procedure Complete the OpenShift Container Platform subscription from the AWS Marketplace . Record the AMI ID for your specific region. If you use the CloudFormation template to deploy your worker nodes, you must update the worker0.type.properties.ImageID parameter with this value. 4.12.6. 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. 4.12.7. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. If you install a cluster on infrastructure that you provision, you must provide the key to the installation program. 4.12.8. Creating the installation files for AWS To install OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must generate the files that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster and modify them so that the cluster creates only the machines that it will use. You generate and customize the install-config.yaml file, Kubernetes manifests, and Ignition config files. You also have the option to first set up a separate var partition during the preparation phases of installation. 4.12.8.1. 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. 4.12.8.2. Creating the installation configuration file Generate and customize the installation configuration file that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program for user-provisioned infrastructure and the pull secret for your cluster. You checked that you are deploying your cluster to a region with an accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI published by Red Hat. If you are deploying to a region that requires a custom AMI, such as an AWS GovCloud region, you must create the install-config.yaml file manually. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. 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 aws as the platform to target. If you do not have an AWS profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Note The AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in ~/.aws/credentials in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Optional: Back up the install-config.yaml file. Important The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now. Additional resources See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration. 4.12.8.3. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.12.8.4. 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. 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: 4.12.9. Extracting the infrastructure name The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Amazon Web Services (AWS). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate AWS resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided CloudFormation templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You installed the jq package. Procedure To extract and view the infrastructure name from the Ignition config file metadata, run the following command: 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. 4.12.10. Creating a VPC in AWS You must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements, including VPN and route tables. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. Procedure Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires: [ { "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 1 "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "AvailabilityZoneCount", 3 "ParameterValue": "1" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "SubnetBits", 5 "ParameterValue": "12" 6 } ] 1 The CIDR block for the VPC. 2 Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24 . 3 The number of availability zones to deploy the VPC in. 4 Specify an integer between 1 and 3 . 5 The size of each subnet in each availability zone. 6 Specify an integer between 5 and 13 , where 5 is /27 and 13 is /19 . Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires. Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC: Important You must enter the command on a single line. USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-vpc . You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. Example output arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-vpc/dbedae40-2fd3-11eb-820e-12a48460849f Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> After the StackStatus displays CREATE_COMPLETE , the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster: VpcId The ID of your VPC. PublicSubnetIds The IDs of the new public subnets. PrivateSubnetIds The IDs of the new private subnets. 4.12.10.1. CloudFormation template for the VPC You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Example 4.36. CloudFormation template for the VPC AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09 Description: Template for Best Practice VPC with 1-3 AZs Parameters: VpcCidr: AllowedPattern: ^(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\/(1[6-9]|2[0-4]))USD ConstraintDescription: CIDR block parameter must be in the form x.x.x.x/16-24.

Accessing RHCOS AMIs with stream metadata In OpenShift Container Platform, stream metadata provides standardized metadata about RHCOS in the JSON format and injects the metadata into the cluster. Stream metadata is a stable format that supports multiple architectures and is intended to be self-documenting for maintaining automation. You can use the coreos print-stream-json sub-command of openshift-install to access information about the boot images in the stream metadata format. This command provides a method for printing stream metadata in a scriptable, machine-readable format. For user-provisioned installations, the openshift-install binary contains references to the version of RHCOS boot images that are tested for use with OpenShift Container Platform, such as the AWS AMI. Procedure To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods: From a Go program, use the official stream-metadata-go library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go . You can also view example code in the library. From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language. From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as jq : Print the current x86_64 AMI for an AWS region, such as us-west-1 : USD openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image' Example output ami-0d3e625f84626bbda The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for the us-west-1 region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 4.12.14. RHCOS AMIs for the AWS infrastructure Red Hat provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMIs that are valid for the various AWS regions that you can manually specify for your OpenShift Container Platform nodes. Note By importing your own AMI, you can also install to regions that do not have a published RHCOS AMI. Table 4.43. RHCOS AMIs AWS zone AWS AMI af-south-1 ami-0f3804f5a2f913dcc ap-east-1 ami-0de1febb30a83da66 ap-northeast-1 ami-0183df96a3e002687 ap-northeast-2 ami-06b8798cd60242798 ap-northeast-3 ami-00b16b33aa0951016 ap-south-1 ami-007243f8ff78e8294 ap-southeast-1 ami-079dfdacb5ab5a0d1 ap-southeast-2 ami-03882e39cb7785c32 ca-central-1 ami-05cba1f80cc8b1dbe eu-central-1 ami-073c775bbe9cd434e eu-north-1 ami-0763e6e75b681acc5 eu-south-1 ami-00d023f19775fb64b eu-west-1 ami-0033e3f2331a530c4 eu-west-2 ami-00d8a741ebe74f0c4 eu-west-3 ami-09b04e7f60e3374a7 me-south-1 ami-0f8039330b6e54010 sa-east-1 ami-01af22f821b470ad1 us-east-1 ami-0c72f473496a7b1c2 us-east-2 ami-09e637fc5885c13cc us-west-1 ami-0fa0f6fce7e63dd26 us-west-2 ami-084fb1316cd1ed4cc 4.12.14.1. AWS regions without a published RHCOS AMI You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions without native support for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) or the AWS software development kit (SDK). If a published AMI is not available for an AWS region, you can upload a custom AMI prior to installing the cluster. If you are deploying to a region not supported by the AWS SDK and you do not specify a custom AMI, the installation program copies the us-east-1 AMI to the user account automatically. Then the installation program creates the control plane machines with encrypted EBS volumes using the default or user-specified Key Management Service (KMS) key. This allows the AMI to follow the same process workflow as published RHCOS AMIs. A region without native support for an RHCOS AMI is not available to select from the terminal during cluster creation because it is not published. However, you can install to this region by configuring the custom AMI in the install-config.yaml file. 4.12.14.2. Uploading a custom RHCOS AMI in AWS If you are deploying to a custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) region, you must upload a custom Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that belongs to that region. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You created an Amazon S3 bucket with the required IAM service role . You uploaded your RHCOS VMDK file to Amazon S3. The RHCOS VMDK file must be the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version you are installing. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer . Procedure Export your AWS profile as an environment variable: USD export AWS_PROFILE=<aws_profile> 1 Export the region to associate with your custom AMI as an environment variable: USD export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region> 1 Export the version of RHCOS you uploaded to Amazon S3 as an environment variable: USD export RHCOS_VERSION=<version> 1 1 1 1 The RHCOS VMDK version, like 4.9.0 . Export the Amazon S3 bucket name as an environment variable: USD export VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME=<s3_bucket_name> Create the containers.json file and define your RHCOS VMDK file: USD cat <<EOF > containers.json { "Description": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "Format": "vmdk", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "USD{VMIMPORT_BUCKET_NAME}", "S3Key": "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } EOF Import the RHCOS disk as an Amazon EBS snapshot: USD aws ec2 import-snapshot --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --description "<description>" \ 1 --disk-container "file://<file_path>/containers.json" 2 1 The description of your RHCOS disk being imported, like rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64 . 2 The file path to the JSON file describing your RHCOS disk. The JSON file should contain your Amazon S3 bucket name and key. Check the status of the image import: USD watch -n 5 aws ec2 describe-import-snapshot-tasks --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} Example output { "ImportSnapshotTasks": [ { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "ImportTaskId": "import-snap-fh6i8uil", "SnapshotTaskDetail": { "Description": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64", "DiskImageSize": 819056640.0, "Format": "VMDK", "SnapshotId": "snap-06331325870076318", "Status": "completed", "UserBucket": { "S3Bucket": "external-images", "S3Key": "rhcos-4.7.0-x86_64-aws.x86_64.vmdk" } } } ] } Copy the SnapshotId to register the image. Create a custom RHCOS AMI from the RHCOS snapshot: USD aws ec2 register-image \ --region USD{AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} \ --architecture x86_64 \ 1 --description "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 2 --ena-support \ --name "rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-x86_64-aws.x86_64" \ 3 --virtualization-type hvm \ --root-device-name '/dev/xvda' \ --block-device-mappings 'DeviceName=/dev/xvda,Ebs={DeleteOnTermination=true,SnapshotId=<snapshot_ID>}' 4 1 The RHCOS VMDK architecture type, like x86_64 , s390x , or ppc64le . 2 The Description from the imported snapshot. 3 The name of the RHCOS AMI. 4 The SnapshotID from the imported snapshot. To learn more about these APIs, see the AWS documentation for importing snapshots and creating EBS-backed AMIs . 4.12.15. Creating the bootstrap node in AWS You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OpenShift Container Platform cluster initialization. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the bootstrap node that your OpenShift Container Platform installation requires. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your bootstrap node, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS. You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS. Procedure Provide a location to serve the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to your cluster. This file is located in your installation directory. One way to do this is to create an S3 bucket in your cluster's region and upload the Ignition config file to it. Important The provided CloudFormation Template assumes that the Ignition config files for your cluster are served from an S3 bucket. If you choose to serve the files from another location, you must modify the templates. Important If you are deploying to a region that has endpoints that differ from the AWS SDK, or you are providing your own custom endpoints, you must use a presigned URL for your S3 bucket instead of the s3:// schema. Note The bootstrap Ignition config file does contain secrets, like X.509 keys. The following steps provide basic security for the S3 bucket. To provide additional security, you can enable an S3 bucket policy to allow only certain users, such as the OpenShift IAM user, to access objects that the bucket contains. You can avoid S3 entirely and serve your bootstrap Ignition config file from any address that the bootstrap machine can reach. Create the bucket: USD aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra 1 1 <cluster-name>-infra is the bucket name. When creating the install-config.yaml file, replace <cluster-name> with the name specified for the cluster. Upload the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to the bucket: USD aws s3 cp <installation_directory>/bootstrap.ign s3://<cluster-name>-infra/bootstrap.ign 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. Verify that the file uploaded: USD aws s3 ls s3://<cluster-name>-infra/ Example output 2019-04-03 16:15:16 314878 bootstrap.ign Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires: [ { "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1 "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3 "ParameterValue": "ami-<random_string>" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "AllowedBootstrapSshCidr", 5 "ParameterValue": "0.0.0.0/0" 6 }, { "ParameterKey": "PublicSubnet", 7 "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 8 }, { "ParameterKey": "MasterSecurityGroupId", 9 "ParameterValue": "sg-<random_string>" 10 }, { "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 11 "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 12 }, { "ParameterKey": "BootstrapIgnitionLocation", 13 "ParameterValue": "s3://<bucket_name>/bootstrap.ign" 14 }, { "ParameterKey": "AutoRegisterELB", 15 "ParameterValue": "yes" 16 }, { "ParameterKey": "RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambdaArn", 17 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:lambda:<region>:<account_number>:function:<dns_stack_name>-RegisterNlbIpTargets-<random_string>" 18 }, { "ParameterKey": "ExternalApiTargetGroupArn", 19 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Exter-<random_string>" 20 }, { "ParameterKey": "InternalApiTargetGroupArn", 21 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 22 }, { "ParameterKey": "InternalServiceTargetGroupArn", 23 "ParameterValue": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:<region>:<account_number>:targetgroup/<dns_stack_name>-Inter-<random_string>" 24 } ] 1 The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster. 2 Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string> . 3 Current Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI to use for the bootstrap node. 4 Specify a valid AWS::EC2::Image::Id value. 5 CIDR block to allow SSH access to the bootstrap node. 6 Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24 . 7 The public subnet that is associated with your VPC to launch the bootstrap node into. 8 Specify the PublicSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC. 9 The master security group ID (for registering temporary rules) 10 Specify the MasterSecurityGroupId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles. 11 The VPC created resources will belong to. 12 Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC. 13 Location to fetch bootstrap Ignition config file from. 14 Specify the S3 bucket and file name in the form s3://<bucket_name>/bootstrap.ign . 15 Whether or not to register a network load balancer (NLB). 16 Specify yes or no . If you specify yes , you must provide a Lambda Amazon Resource Name (ARN) value. 17 The ARN for NLB IP target registration lambda group. 18 Specify the RegisterNlbIpTargetsLambda value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region. 19 The ARN for external API load balancer target group. 20 Specify the ExternalApiTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region. 21 The ARN for internal API load balancer target group. 22 Specify the InternalApiTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region. 23 The ARN for internal service load balancer target group. 24 Specify the InternalServiceTargetGroupArn value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. Use arn:aws-us-gov if deploying the cluster to an AWS GovCloud region. Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the bootstrap machine section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the bootstrap machine that your cluster requires. Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the bootstrap node: Important You must enter the command on a single line. USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-bootstrap . You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. 4 You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role and AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile resources. Example output arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-bootstrap/12944486-2add-11eb-9dee-12dace8e3a83 Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> After the StackStatus displays CREATE_COMPLETE , the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster: BootstrapInstanceId The bootstrap Instance ID. BootstrapPublicIp The bootstrap node public IP address. BootstrapPrivateIp The bootstrap node private IP address. 4.12.15.1. CloudFormation template for the bootstrap machine You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the bootstrap machine that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Initializing the bootstrap sequence on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure After you create all of the required infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can start the bootstrap sequence that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS. You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS. You created the bootstrap machine. You created the control plane machines. You created the worker nodes. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and start the bootstrap process that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane: 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 . Example output INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443... INFO API v1.22.1 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources INFO Time elapsed: 1s If the command exits without a FATAL warning, your OpenShift Container Platform control plane has initialized. Note After the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators. Additional resources See Monitoring installation progress for details about monitoring the installation, bootstrap, and control plane logs as an OpenShift Container Platform installation progresses. See Gathering bootstrap node diagnostic data for information about troubleshooting issues related to the bootstrap process. You can view details about the running instances that are created by using the AWS EC2 console . 4.12.19. 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> 4.12.20. 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 4.12.21. 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 . 4.12.22. Initial Operator configuration After the control plane initializes, you must immediately configure some Operators so that they all become available. Prerequisites Your control plane has initialized. Procedure Watch the cluster components come online: USD watch -n5 oc get clusteroperators Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING DEGRADED SINCE authentication 4.9.0 True False False 19m baremetal 4.9.0 True False False 37m cloud-credential 4.9.0 True False False 40m cluster-autoscaler 4.9.0 True False False 37m config-operator 4.9.0 True False False 38m console 4.9.0 True False False 26m csi-snapshot-controller 4.9.0 True False False 37m dns 4.9.0 True False False 37m etcd 4.9.0 True False False 36m image-registry 4.9.0 True False False 31m ingress 4.9.0 True False False 30m insights 4.9.0 True False False 31m kube-apiserver 4.9.0 True False False 26m kube-controller-manager 4.9.0 True False False 36m kube-scheduler 4.9.0 True False False 36m kube-storage-version-migrator 4.9.0 True False False 37m machine-api 4.9.0 True False False 29m machine-approver 4.9.0 True False False 37m machine-config 4.9.0 True False False 36m marketplace 4.9.0 True False False 37m monitoring 4.9.0 True False False 29m network 4.9.0 True False False 38m node-tuning 4.9.0 True False False 37m openshift-apiserver 4.9.0 True False False 32m openshift-controller-manager 4.9.0 True False False 30m openshift-samples 4.9.0 True False False 32m operator-lifecycle-manager 4.9.0 True False False 37m operator-lifecycle-manager-catalog 4.9.0 True False False 37m operator-lifecycle-manager-packageserver 4.9.0 True False False 32m service-ca 4.9.0 True False False 38m storage 4.9.0 True False False 37m Configure the Operators that are not available. 4.12.22.1. Image registry storage configuration Amazon Web Services provides default storage, which means the Image Registry Operator is available after installation. However, if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you must manually configure registry storage. Instructions are shown for configuring a persistent volume, which is required for production clusters. Where applicable, instructions are shown for configuring an empty directory as the storage location, which is available for only non-production clusters. Additional instructions are provided for allowing the image registry to use block storage types by using the Recreate rollout strategy during upgrades. You can configure registry storage for user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS to deploy OpenShift Container Platform to hidden regions. See Configuring the registry for AWS user-provisioned infrastructure for more information. 4.12.22.1.1. Configuring registry storage for AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure During installation, your cloud credentials are sufficient to create an Amazon S3 bucket and the Registry Operator will automatically configure storage. If the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you can create an S3 bucket and configure storage with the following procedure. Prerequisites You have a cluster on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure. For Amazon S3 storage, the secret is expected to contain two keys: REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY Procedure Use the following procedure if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage. Set up a Bucket Lifecycle Policy to abort incomplete multipart uploads that are one day old. Fill in the storage configuration in configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster : USD oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster Example configuration storage: s3: bucket: <bucket-name> region: <region-name> Warning To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket. 4.12.22.1.2. Configuring storage for the image registry in non-production clusters You must configure storage for the Image Registry Operator. For non-production clusters, you can set the image registry to an empty directory. If you do so, all images are lost if you restart the registry. Procedure To set the image registry storage to an empty directory: USD oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}' Warning Configure this option for only non-production clusters. If you run this command before the Image Registry Operator initializes its components, the oc patch command fails with the following error: Error from server (NotFound): configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io "cluster" not found Wait a few minutes and run the command again. 4.12.23. Deleting the bootstrap resources After you complete the initial Operator configuration for the cluster, remove the bootstrap resources from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Prerequisites You completed the initial Operator configuration for your cluster. Procedure Delete the bootstrap resources. If you used the CloudFormation template, delete its stack : Delete the stack by using the AWS CLI: USD aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <name> 1 1 <name> is the name of your bootstrap stack. Delete the stack by using the AWS CloudFormation console . 4.12.24. Creating the Ingress DNS Records If you removed the DNS Zone configuration, manually create DNS records that point to the Ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard record or specific records. While the following procedure uses A records, you can use other record types that you require, such as CNAME or alias. Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provisioned. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You installed the jq package. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix) . Procedure Determine the routes to create. To create a wildcard record, use *.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> , where <cluster_name> is your cluster name, and <domain_name> is the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. To create specific records, you must create a record for each route that your cluster uses, as shown in the output of the following command: USD oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes Example output oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> downloads-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> Retrieve the Ingress Operator load balancer status and note the value of the external IP address that it uses, which is shown in the EXTERNAL-IP column: USD oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default Example output NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.62.215 ab3...28.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31499/TCP,443:30693/TCP 5m Locate the hosted zone ID for the load balancer: USD aws elb describe-load-balancers | jq -r '.LoadBalancerDescriptions[] | select(.DNSName == "<external_ip>").CanonicalHostedZoneNameID' 1 1 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer that you obtained. Example output Z3AADJGX6KTTL2 The output of this command is the load balancer hosted zone ID. Obtain the public hosted zone ID for your cluster's domain: USD aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \ --dns-name "<domain_name>" \ 1 --query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' 2 --output text 1 2 For <domain_name> , specify the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Example output /hostedzone/Z3URY6TWQ91KVV The public hosted zone ID for your domain is shown in the command output. In this example, it is Z3URY6TWQ91KVV . Add the alias records to your private zone: USD aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<private_hosted_zone_id>" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }' 1 For <private_hosted_zone_id> , specify the value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. 2 For <cluster_domain> , specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 3 For <hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. 4 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period ( . ) in this parameter value. Add the records to your public zone: USD aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<public_hosted_zone_id>"" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }' 1 For <public_hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone for your domain. 2 For <cluster_domain> , specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 3 For <hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. 4 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period ( . ) in this parameter value. 4.12.25. Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion. Prerequisites You removed the bootstrap node for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure. You installed the oc CLI. Procedure From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation: USD ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. Example output INFO Waiting up to 40m0s for the cluster at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443 to initialize... INFO Waiting up to 10m0s for the openshift-console route to be created... INFO Install complete! INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig' INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "4vYBz-Fe5en-ymBEc-Wt6NL" INFO Time elapsed: 1s Important The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information. It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation. 4.12.26. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.12.27. 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. 4.12.28. Additional resources See Working with stacks in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS CloudFormation stacks. 4.12.29. steps Validating an installation . Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, you can remove cloud provider credentials . 4.13. Installing a cluster on AWS in a restricted network with user-provisioned infrastructure In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.9, you can install a cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using infrastructure that you provide and an internal mirror of the installation release content. Important While you can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using mirrored installation release content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the AWS APIs. One way to create this infrastructure is to use the provided CloudFormation templates. You can modify the templates to customize your infrastructure or use the information that they contain to create AWS objects according to your company's policies. Important The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of OpenShift Container Platform. Several CloudFormation templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example. 4.13.1. Prerequisites You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes. You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users . You created a mirror registry on your mirror host and obtained the imageContentSources data for your version of OpenShift Container Platform. Important Because the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps. You configured an AWS account to host the cluster. Important If you have an AWS profile stored on your computer, it must not use a temporary session token that you generated while using a multi-factor authentication device. The cluster continues to use your current AWS credentials to create AWS resources for the entire life of the cluster, so you must use key-based, long-lived credentials. To generate appropriate keys, see Managing Access Keys for IAM Users in the AWS documentation. You can supply the keys when you run the installation program. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix) in the AWS documentation. If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. Note Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy. If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system namespace, you can manually create and maintain IAM credentials . 4.13.2. 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. 4.13.2.1. Additional limits Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions: The ClusterVersion status includes an Unable to retrieve available updates error. By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags. 4.13.3. 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. 4.13.4. 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. 4.13.4.1. Required machines for cluster installation The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following hosts: Table 4.44. 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 . 4.13.4.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 4.45. 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. 4.13.4.3. Certificate signing requests management Because your cluster has limited access to automatic machine management when you use infrastructure that you provision, you must provide a mechanism for approving cluster certificate signing requests (CSRs) after installation. The kube-controller-manager only approves the kubelet client CSRs. The machine-approver cannot guarantee the validity of a serving certificate that is requested by using kubelet credentials because it cannot confirm that the correct machine issued the request. You must determine and implement a method of verifying the validity of the kubelet serving certificate requests and approving them. 4.13.4.4. Supported AWS machine types The following Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance types are supported with OpenShift Container Platform. Example 4.42. Instance types for machines Instance type Bootstrap Control plane Compute i3.large x m4.large x m4.xlarge x x m4.2xlarge x x m4.4xlarge x x m4.10xlarge x x m4.16xlarge x x m5.large x m5.xlarge x x m5.2xlarge x x m5.4xlarge x x m5.8xlarge x x m5.12xlarge x x m5.16xlarge x x m5a.large x m5a.xlarge x x m5a.2xlarge x x m5a.4xlarge x x m5a.8xlarge x x m5a.12xlarge x x m5a.16xlarge x x m6i.xlarge x x m6i.2xlarge x x m6i.4xlarge x x m6i.8xlarge x x m6i.16xlarge x x c4.2xlarge x x c4.4xlarge x x c4.8xlarge x x c5.xlarge x c5.2xlarge x x c5.4xlarge x x c5.9xlarge x x c5.12xlarge x x c5.18xlarge x x c5.24xlarge x x c5a.xlarge x c5a.2xlarge x x c5a.4xlarge x x c5a.8xlarge x x c5a.12xlarge x x c5a.16xlarge x x c5a.24xlarge x x r4.large x r4.xlarge x x r4.2xlarge x x r4.4xlarge x x r4.8xlarge x x r4.16xlarge x x r5.large x r5.xlarge x x r5.2xlarge x x r5.4xlarge x x r5.8xlarge x x r5.12xlarge x x r5.16xlarge x x r5.24xlarge x x r5a.large x r5a.xlarge x x r5a.2xlarge x x r5a.4xlarge x x r5a.8xlarge x x r5a.12xlarge x x r5a.16xlarge x x r5a.24xlarge x x t3.large x t3.xlarge x t3.2xlarge x t3a.large x t3a.xlarge x t3a.2xlarge x 4.13.5. Required AWS infrastructure components To install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must manually create both the machines and their supporting infrastructure. For more information about the integration testing for different platforms, see the OpenShift Container Platform 4.x Tested Integrations page. By using the provided CloudFormation templates, you can create stacks of AWS resources that represent the following components: An AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Networking and load balancing components Security groups and roles An OpenShift Container Platform bootstrap node OpenShift Container Platform control plane nodes An OpenShift Container Platform compute node Alternatively, you can manually create the components or you can reuse existing infrastructure that meets the cluster requirements. Review the CloudFormation templates for more details about how the components interrelate. 4.13.5.1. Other infrastructure components A VPC DNS entries Load balancers (classic or network) and listeners A public and a private Route 53 zone Security groups IAM roles S3 buckets If you are working in a disconnected environment or use a proxy, you cannot reach the public IP addresses for EC2 and ELB endpoints. To reach these endpoints, you must create a VPC endpoint and attach it to the subnet that the clusters are using. Create the following endpoints: ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com s3.<region>.amazonaws.com Required VPC components You must provide a suitable VPC and subnets that allow communication to your machines. Component AWS type Description VPC AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::EC2::VPCEndpoint You must provide a public VPC for the cluster to use. The VPC uses an endpoint that references the route tables for each subnet to improve communication with the registry that is hosted in S3. Public subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. Internet gateway AWS::EC2::InternetGateway AWS::EC2::VPCGatewayAttachment AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::Route AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation AWS::EC2::NatGateway AWS::EC2::EIP You must have a public internet gateway, with public routes, attached to the VPC. In the provided templates, each public subnet has a NAT gateway with an EIP address. These NAT gateways allow cluster resources, like private subnet instances, to reach the internet and are not required for some restricted network or proxy scenarios. Network access control AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: Port Reason 80 Inbound HTTP traffic 443 Inbound HTTPS traffic 22 Inbound SSH traffic 1024 - 65535 Inbound ephemeral traffic 0 - 65535 Outbound ephemeral traffic Private subnets AWS::EC2::Subnet AWS::EC2::RouteTable AWS::EC2::SubnetRouteTableAssociation Your VPC can have private subnets. The provided CloudFormation templates can create private subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones. If you use private subnets, you must provide appropriate routes and tables for them. Required DNS and load balancing components Your DNS and load balancer configuration needs to use a public hosted zone and can use a private hosted zone similar to the one that the installation program uses if it provisions the cluster's infrastructure. You must create a DNS entry that resolves to your load balancer. An entry for api.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the external load balancer, and an entry for api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain> must point to the internal load balancer. The cluster also requires load balancers and listeners for port 6443, which are required for the Kubernetes API and its extensions, and port 22623, which are required for the Ignition config files for new machines. The targets will be the control plane nodes. Port 6443 must be accessible to both clients external to the cluster and nodes within the cluster. Port 22623 must be accessible to nodes within the cluster. Component AWS type Description DNS AWS::Route53::HostedZone The hosted zone for your internal DNS. etcd record sets AWS::Route53::RecordSet The registration records for etcd for your control plane machines. Public load balancer AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer The load balancer for your public subnets. External API server record AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup Alias records for the external API server. External listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 6443 for the external load balancer. External target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the external load balancer. Private load balancer AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer The load balancer for your private subnets. Internal API server record AWS::Route53::RecordSetGroup Alias records for the internal API server. Internal listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 22623 for the internal load balancer. Internal target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the internal load balancer. Internal listener AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener A listener on port 6443 for the internal load balancer. Internal target group AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup The target group for the internal load balancer. Security groups The control plane and worker machines require access to the following ports: Group Type IP Protocol Port range MasterSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup icmp 0 tcp 22 tcp 6443 tcp 22623 WorkerSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup icmp 0 tcp 22 BootstrapSecurityGroup AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup tcp 22 tcp 19531 Control plane Ingress The control plane machines require the following Ingress groups.

The provided CloudFormation templates grant the machines Allow permissions for the following AWS::IAM::Role objects and provide a AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile for each set of roles. If you do not use the templates, you can grant the machines the following broad permissions or the following individual permissions. Role Effect Action Resource Master Allow ec2:* * Allow elasticloadbalancing:* * Allow iam:PassRole * Allow s3:GetObject * Worker Allow ec2:Describe* * Bootstrap Allow ec2:Describe* * Allow ec2:AttachVolume * Allow ec2:DetachVolume * 4.13.5.2. Cluster machines You need AWS::EC2::Instance objects for the following machines: A bootstrap machine. This machine is required during installation, but you can remove it after your cluster deploys. Three control plane machines. The control plane machines are not governed by a machine set. Compute machines. You must create at least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, during installation. These machines are not governed by a machine set. 4.13.5.3. Required AWS permissions for the IAM user Note Your IAM user must have the permission tag:GetResources in the region us-east-1 to delete the base cluster resources. As part of the AWS API requirement, the OpenShift Container Platform installation program performs various actions in this region. When you attach the AdministratorAccess policy to the IAM user that you create in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you grant that user all of the required permissions. To deploy all components of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, the IAM user requires the following permissions: Example 4.43. Required EC2 permissions for installation ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:CopyImage ec2:CreateNetworkInterface ec2:AttachNetworkInterface ec2:CreateSecurityGroup ec2:CreateTags ec2:CreateVolume ec2:DeleteSecurityGroup ec2:DeleteSnapshot ec2:DeleteTags ec2:DeregisterImage ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes ec2:DescribeAddresses ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones ec2:DescribeDhcpOptions ec2:DescribeImages ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute ec2:DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications ec2:DescribeInstances ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes ec2:DescribeInternetGateways ec2:DescribeKeyPairs ec2:DescribeNatGateways ec2:DescribeNetworkAcls ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces ec2:DescribePrefixLists ec2:DescribeRegions ec2:DescribeRouteTables ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups ec2:DescribeSubnets ec2:DescribeTags ec2:DescribeVolumes ec2:DescribeVpcAttribute ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLink ec2:DescribeVpcClassicLinkDnsSupport ec2:DescribeVpcEndpoints ec2:DescribeVpcs ec2:GetEbsDefaultKmsKeyId ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupEgress ec2:RevokeSecurityGroupIngress ec2:RunInstances ec2:TerminateInstances Example 4.44.

Example 4.55. Optional permissions for instance and quota checks for installation ec2:DescribeInstanceTypeOfferings servicequotas:ListAWSDefaultServiceQuotas 4.13.6. 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>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. If you install a cluster on infrastructure that you provision, you must provide the key to the installation program. 4.13.7. Creating the installation files for AWS To install OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must generate the files that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster and modify them so that the cluster creates only the machines that it will use. You generate and customize the install-config.yaml file, Kubernetes manifests, and Ignition config files. You also have the option to first set up a separate var partition during the preparation phases of installation. 4.13.7.1. 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. 4.13.7.2. Creating the installation configuration file Generate and customize the installation configuration file that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program for user-provisioned infrastructure and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host. You checked that you are deploying your cluster to a region with an accompanying Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI published by Red Hat. If you are deploying to a region that requires a custom AMI, such as an AWS GovCloud region, you must create the install-config.yaml file manually. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. 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 aws as the platform to target. If you do not have an AWS profile stored on your computer, enter the AWS access key ID and secret access key for the user that you configured to run the installation program. Note The AWS access key ID and secret access key are stored in ~/.aws/credentials in the home directory of the current user on the installation host. You are prompted for the credentials by the installation program if the credentials for the exported profile are not present in the file. Any credentials that you provide to the installation program are stored in the file. Select the AWS region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain for the Route 53 service that you configured 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":{"<local_registry>": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' For <local_registry> , specify the registry domain name, and optionally the port, that your mirror registry uses to serve content. For example registry.example.com or registry.example.com:5000 . For <credentials> , specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry. Add the additionalTrustBundle parameter and value. 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. additionalTrustBundle: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -----END CERTIFICATE----- Add the image content resources: imageContentSources: - mirrors: - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release - mirrors: - <local_registry>/<local_repository_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev Use the imageContentSources section from the output of the command to mirror the repository or the values that you used when you mirrored the content from the media that you brought into your restricted network. Optional: Set the publishing strategy to Internal : publish: Internal By setting this option, you create an internal Ingress Controller and a private load balancer. Optional: Back up the install-config.yaml file. Important The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now. Additional resources See Configuration and credential file settings in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS profile and credential configuration. 4.13.7.3. 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 ). You have added the ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com , elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com , and s3.<region>.amazonaws.com endpoints to your VPC endpoint. These endpoints are required to complete requests from the nodes to the AWS EC2 API. Because the proxy works on the container level, not the node level, you must route these requests to the AWS EC2 API through the AWS private network. Adding the public IP address of the EC2 API to your allowlist in your proxy server is not sufficient. 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. 4.13.7.4. 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. 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. 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: 4.13.8. Extracting the infrastructure name The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Amazon Web Services (AWS). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate AWS resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. The provided CloudFormation templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You installed the jq package. Procedure To extract and view the infrastructure name from the Ignition config file metadata, run the following command: 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. 4.13.9. Creating a VPC in AWS You must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements, including VPN and route tables. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. Procedure Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires: [ { "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 1 "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "AvailabilityZoneCount", 3 "ParameterValue": "1" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "SubnetBits", 5 "ParameterValue": "12" 6 } ] 1 The CIDR block for the VPC. 2 Specify a CIDR block in the format x.x.x.x/16-24 . 3 The number of availability zones to deploy the VPC in. 4 Specify an integer between 1 and 3 . 5 The size of each subnet in each availability zone. 6 Specify an integer between 5 and 13 , where 5 is /27 and 13 is /19 . Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for the VPC section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the VPC that your cluster requires. Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the VPC: Important You must enter the command on a single line. USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-vpc . You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. Example output arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-vpc/dbedae40-2fd3-11eb-820e-12a48460849f Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> After the StackStatus displays CREATE_COMPLETE , the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster: VpcId The ID of your VPC. PublicSubnetIds The IDs of the new public subnets. PrivateSubnetIds The IDs of the new private subnets. 4.13.9.1. CloudFormation template for the VPC You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the VPC that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Example 4.56.

Creating networking and load balancing components in AWS You must configure networking and classic or network load balancing in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster can use. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the networking and load balancing components that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires. The template also creates a hosted zone and subnet tags. You can run the template multiple times within a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. Procedure Obtain the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 base domain that you specified in the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. You can obtain details about your hosted zone by running the following command: USD aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name --dns-name <route53_domain> 1 1 For the <route53_domain> , specify the Route 53 base domain that you used when you generated the install-config.yaml file for the cluster.

Creating security group and roles in AWS You must create security groups and roles in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the security groups and roles that your OpenShift Container Platform cluster requires. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your AWS infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. Procedure Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the template requires: [ { "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1 "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "VpcCidr", 3 "ParameterValue": "10.0.0.0/16" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "PrivateSubnets", 5 "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6 }, { "ParameterKey": "VpcId", 7 "ParameterValue": "vpc-<random_string>" 8 } ] 1 The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster. 2 Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string> . 3 The CIDR block for the VPC. 4 Specify the CIDR block parameter that you used for the VPC that you defined in the form x.x.x.x/16-24 . 5 The private subnets that you created for your VPC. 6 Specify the PrivateSubnetIds value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC. 7 The VPC that you created for the cluster. 8 Specify the VpcId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the VPC. Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for security objects section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the security groups and roles that your cluster requires. Launch the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent the security groups and roles: Important You must enter the command on a single line. USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 4 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-sec . You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. 4 You must explicitly declare the CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability because the provided template creates some AWS::IAM::Role and AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile resources. Example output arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-sec/03bd4210-2ed7-11eb-6d7a-13fc0b61e9db Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> After the StackStatus displays CREATE_COMPLETE , the output displays values for the following parameters. You must provide these parameter values to the other CloudFormation templates that you run to create your cluster: MasterSecurityGroupId Master Security Group ID WorkerSecurityGroupId Worker Security Group ID MasterInstanceProfile Master IAM Instance Profile WorkerInstanceProfile Worker IAM Instance Profile 4.13.11.1. CloudFormation template for security objects You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the security objects that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Accessing RHCOS AMIs with stream metadata In OpenShift Container Platform, stream metadata provides standardized metadata about RHCOS in the JSON format and injects the metadata into the cluster. Stream metadata is a stable format that supports multiple architectures and is intended to be self-documenting for maintaining automation. You can use the coreos print-stream-json sub-command of openshift-install to access information about the boot images in the stream metadata format. This command provides a method for printing stream metadata in a scriptable, machine-readable format. For user-provisioned installations, the openshift-install binary contains references to the version of RHCOS boot images that are tested for use with OpenShift Container Platform, such as the AWS AMI. Procedure To parse the stream metadata, use one of the following methods: From a Go program, use the official stream-metadata-go library at https://github.com/coreos/stream-metadata-go . You can also view example code in the library. From another programming language, such as Python or Ruby, use the JSON library of your preferred programming language. From a command-line utility that handles JSON data, such as jq : Print the current x86_64 AMI for an AWS region, such as us-west-1 : USD openshift-install coreos print-stream-json | jq -r '.architectures.x86_64.images.aws.regions["us-west-1"].image' Example output ami-0d3e625f84626bbda The output of this command is the AWS AMI ID for the us-west-1 region. The AMI must belong to the same region as the cluster. 4.13.13. RHCOS AMIs for the AWS infrastructure Red Hat provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMIs that are valid for the various AWS regions that you can manually specify for your OpenShift Container Platform nodes. Note By importing your own AMI, you can also install to regions that do not have a published RHCOS AMI. Table 4.46.

Creating the bootstrap node in AWS You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OpenShift Container Platform cluster initialization. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources. The stack represents the bootstrap node that your OpenShift Container Platform installation requires. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your bootstrap node, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS. You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS. Procedure Provide a location to serve the bootstrap.ign Ignition config file to your cluster. This file is located in your installation directory. One way to do this is to create an S3 bucket in your cluster's region and upload the Ignition config file to it. Important The provided CloudFormation Template assumes that the Ignition config files for your cluster are served from an S3 bucket. If you choose to serve the files from another location, you must modify the templates. Important If you are deploying to a region that has endpoints that differ from the AWS SDK, or you are providing your own custom endpoints, you must use a presigned URL for your S3 bucket instead of the s3:// schema. Note The bootstrap Ignition config file does contain secrets, like X.509 keys. The following steps provide basic security for the S3 bucket. To provide additional security, you can enable an S3 bucket policy to allow only certain users, such as the OpenShift IAM user, to access objects that the bucket contains. You can avoid S3 entirely and serve your bootstrap Ignition config file from any address that the bootstrap machine can reach. Create the bucket: USD aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra 1 1 <cluster-name>-infra is the bucket name.

Creating the worker nodes in AWS You can create worker nodes in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your cluster to use. You can use the provided CloudFormation template and a custom parameter file to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node. Important The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node. You must create a stack for each worker node. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your worker nodes, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS. You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS. You created the bootstrap machine. You created the control plane machines. Procedure Create a JSON file that contains the parameter values that the CloudFormation template requires: [ { "ParameterKey": "InfrastructureName", 1 "ParameterValue": "mycluster-<random_string>" 2 }, { "ParameterKey": "RhcosAmi", 3 "ParameterValue": "ami-<random_string>" 4 }, { "ParameterKey": "Subnet", 5 "ParameterValue": "subnet-<random_string>" 6 }, { "ParameterKey": "WorkerSecurityGroupId", 7 "ParameterValue": "sg-<random_string>" 8 }, { "ParameterKey": "IgnitionLocation", 9 "ParameterValue": "https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker" 10 }, { "ParameterKey": "CertificateAuthorities", 11 "ParameterValue": "" 12 }, { "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceProfileName", 13 "ParameterValue": "" 14 }, { "ParameterKey": "WorkerInstanceType", 15 "ParameterValue": "m4.2xlarge" 16 } ] 1 The name for your cluster infrastructure that is encoded in your Ignition config files for the cluster. 2 Specify the infrastructure name that you extracted from the Ignition config file metadata, which has the format <cluster-name>-<random-string> . 3 Current Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) AMI to use for the worker nodes. 4 Specify an AWS::EC2::Image::Id value. 5 A subnet, preferably private, to start the worker nodes on. 6 Specify a subnet from the PrivateSubnets value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. 7 The worker security group ID to associate with worker nodes. 8 Specify the WorkerSecurityGroupId value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles. 9 The location to fetch the bootstrap Ignition config file from. 10 Specify the generated Ignition config location, https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<domain_name>:22623/config/worker . 11 Base64 encoded certificate authority string to use. 12 Specify the value from the worker.ign file that is in the installation directory. This value is the long string with the format data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,ABC... xYz== . 13 The IAM profile to associate with worker nodes. 14 Specify the WorkerInstanceProfile parameter value from the output of the CloudFormation template for the security group and roles. 15 The type of AWS instance to use for the control plane machines. 16 Allowed values: m4.large m4.xlarge m4.2xlarge m4.4xlarge m4.10xlarge m4.16xlarge m5.large m5.xlarge m5.2xlarge m5.4xlarge m5.8xlarge m5.12xlarge m5.16xlarge m5a.large m5a.xlarge m5a.2xlarge m5a.4xlarge m5a.8xlarge m5a.12xlarge m5a.16xlarge c4.large c4.xlarge c4.2xlarge c4.4xlarge c4.8xlarge c5.large c5.xlarge c5.2xlarge c5.4xlarge c5.9xlarge c5.12xlarge c5.18xlarge c5.24xlarge c5a.large c5a.xlarge c5a.2xlarge c5a.4xlarge c5a.8xlarge c5a.12xlarge c5a.16xlarge c5a.24xlarge r4.large r4.xlarge r4.2xlarge r4.4xlarge r4.8xlarge r4.16xlarge r5.large r5.xlarge r5.2xlarge r5.4xlarge r5.8xlarge r5.12xlarge r5.16xlarge r5.24xlarge r5a.large r5a.xlarge r5a.2xlarge r5a.4xlarge r5a.8xlarge r5a.12xlarge r5a.16xlarge r5a.24xlarge t3.large t3.xlarge t3.2xlarge t3a.large t3a.xlarge t3a.2xlarge Copy the template from the CloudFormation template for worker machines section of this topic and save it as a YAML file on your computer. This template describes the networking objects and load balancers that your cluster requires. Optional: If you specified an m5 instance type as the value for WorkerInstanceType , add that instance type to the WorkerInstanceType.AllowedValues parameter in the CloudFormation template. Optional: If you are deploying with an AWS Marketplace image, update the Worker0.type.properties.ImageID parameter with the AMI ID that you obtained from your subscription. Use the CloudFormation template to create a stack of AWS resources that represent a worker node: Important You must enter the command on a single line. USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml \ 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-worker-1 . You need the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. Example output arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:269333783861:stack/cluster-worker-1/729ee301-1c2a-11eb-348f-sd9888c65b59 Note The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one worker node. Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> Continue to create worker stacks until you have created enough worker machines for your cluster. You can create additional worker stacks by referencing the same template and parameter files and specifying a different stack name. Important You must create at least two worker machines, so you must create at least two stacks that use this CloudFormation template. 4.13.16.1. CloudFormation template for worker machines You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the worker machines that you need for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Example 4.61. CloudFormation template for worker machines AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09 Description: Template for OpenShift Cluster Node Launch (EC2 worker instance) Parameters: InfrastructureName: AllowedPattern: ^([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\-]{0,26})USD MaxLength: 27 MinLength: 1 ConstraintDescription: Infrastructure name must be alphanumeric, start with a letter, and have a maximum of 27 characters.

Initializing the bootstrap sequence on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure After you create all of the required infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can start the bootstrap sequence that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane. Prerequisites You configured an AWS account. You added your AWS keys and region to your local AWS profile by running aws configure . You generated the Ignition config files for your cluster. You created and configured a VPC and associated subnets in AWS. You created and configured DNS, load balancers, and listeners in AWS. You created the security groups and roles required for your cluster in AWS. You created the bootstrap machine. You created the control plane machines. You created the worker nodes. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and start the bootstrap process that initializes the OpenShift Container Platform control plane: 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 . Example output INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443... INFO API v1.22.1 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources INFO Time elapsed: 1s If the command exits without a FATAL warning, your OpenShift Container Platform control plane has initialized. Note After the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators. Additional resources See Monitoring installation progress for details about monitoring the installation, bootstrap, and control plane logs as an OpenShift Container Platform installation progresses. See Gathering bootstrap node diagnostic data for information about troubleshooting issues related to the bootstrap process. 4.13.18. 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 4.13.19. 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 . 4.13.20. Initial Operator configuration After the control plane initializes, you must immediately configure some Operators so that they all become available. Prerequisites Your control plane has initialized. Procedure Watch the cluster components come online: USD watch -n5 oc get clusteroperators Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING DEGRADED SINCE authentication 4.9.0 True False False 19m baremetal 4.9.0 True False False 37m cloud-credential 4.9.0 True False False 40m cluster-autoscaler 4.9.0 True False False 37m config-operator 4.9.0 True False False 38m console 4.9.0 True False False 26m csi-snapshot-controller 4.9.0 True False False 37m dns 4.9.0 True False False 37m etcd 4.9.0 True False False 36m image-registry 4.9.0 True False False 31m ingress 4.9.0 True False False 30m insights 4.9.0 True False False 31m kube-apiserver 4.9.0 True False False 26m kube-controller-manager 4.9.0 True False False 36m kube-scheduler 4.9.0 True False False 36m kube-storage-version-migrator 4.9.0 True False False 37m machine-api 4.9.0 True False False 29m machine-approver 4.9.0 True False False 37m machine-config 4.9.0 True False False 36m marketplace 4.9.0 True False False 37m monitoring 4.9.0 True False False 29m network 4.9.0 True False False 38m node-tuning 4.9.0 True False False 37m openshift-apiserver 4.9.0 True False False 32m openshift-controller-manager 4.9.0 True False False 30m openshift-samples 4.9.0 True False False 32m operator-lifecycle-manager 4.9.0 True False False 37m operator-lifecycle-manager-catalog 4.9.0 True False False 37m operator-lifecycle-manager-packageserver 4.9.0 True False False 32m service-ca 4.9.0 True False False 38m storage 4.9.0 True False False 37m Configure the Operators that are not available. 4.13.20.1. 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. 4.13.20.2. Image registry storage configuration Amazon Web Services provides default storage, which means the Image Registry Operator is available after installation. However, if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you must manually configure registry storage. Instructions are shown for configuring a persistent volume, which is required for production clusters. Where applicable, instructions are shown for configuring an empty directory as the storage location, which is available for only non-production clusters. Additional instructions are provided for allowing the image registry to use block storage types by using the Recreate rollout strategy during upgrades. 4.13.20.2.1. Configuring registry storage for AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure During installation, your cloud credentials are sufficient to create an Amazon S3 bucket and the Registry Operator will automatically configure storage. If the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage, you can create an S3 bucket and configure storage with the following procedure. Prerequisites You have a cluster on AWS with user-provisioned infrastructure. For Amazon S3 storage, the secret is expected to contain two keys: REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY Procedure Use the following procedure if the Registry Operator cannot create an S3 bucket and automatically configure storage. Set up a Bucket Lifecycle Policy to abort incomplete multipart uploads that are one day old. Fill in the storage configuration in configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster : USD oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster Example configuration storage: s3: bucket: <bucket-name> region: <region-name> Warning To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket. 4.13.20.2.2. Configuring storage for the image registry in non-production clusters You must configure storage for the Image Registry Operator. For non-production clusters, you can set the image registry to an empty directory. If you do so, all images are lost if you restart the registry. Procedure To set the image registry storage to an empty directory: USD oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}' Warning Configure this option for only non-production clusters. If you run this command before the Image Registry Operator initializes its components, the oc patch command fails with the following error: Error from server (NotFound): configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io "cluster" not found Wait a few minutes and run the command again. 4.13.21. Deleting the bootstrap resources After you complete the initial Operator configuration for the cluster, remove the bootstrap resources from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Prerequisites You completed the initial Operator configuration for your cluster. Procedure Delete the bootstrap resources. If you used the CloudFormation template, delete its stack : Delete the stack by using the AWS CLI: USD aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <name> 1 1 <name> is the name of your bootstrap stack. Delete the stack by using the AWS CloudFormation console . 4.13.22. Creating the Ingress DNS Records If you removed the DNS Zone configuration, manually create DNS records that point to the Ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard record or specific records. While the following procedure uses A records, you can use other record types that you require, such as CNAME or alias. Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses infrastructure that you provisioned. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You installed the jq package. You downloaded the AWS CLI and installed it on your computer. See Install the AWS CLI Using the Bundled Installer (Linux, macOS, or Unix) . Procedure Determine the routes to create. To create a wildcard record, use *.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> , where <cluster_name> is your cluster name, and <domain_name> is the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. To create specific records, you must create a record for each route that your cluster uses, as shown in the output of the following command: USD oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes Example output oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> downloads-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<domain_name> Retrieve the Ingress Operator load balancer status and note the value of the external IP address that it uses, which is shown in the EXTERNAL-IP column: USD oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default Example output NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.62.215 ab3...28.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31499/TCP,443:30693/TCP 5m Locate the hosted zone ID for the load balancer: USD aws elb describe-load-balancers | jq -r '.LoadBalancerDescriptions[] | select(.DNSName == "<external_ip>").CanonicalHostedZoneNameID' 1 1 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer that you obtained. Example output Z3AADJGX6KTTL2 The output of this command is the load balancer hosted zone ID. Obtain the public hosted zone ID for your cluster's domain: USD aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \ --dns-name "<domain_name>" \ 1 --query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' 2 --output text 1 2 For <domain_name> , specify the Route 53 base domain for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Example output /hostedzone/Z3URY6TWQ91KVV The public hosted zone ID for your domain is shown in the command output. In this example, it is Z3URY6TWQ91KVV . Add the alias records to your private zone: USD aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<private_hosted_zone_id>" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }' 1 For <private_hosted_zone_id> , specify the value from the output of the CloudFormation template for DNS and load balancing. 2 For <cluster_domain> , specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 3 For <hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. 4 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period ( . ) in this parameter value. Add the records to your public zone: USD aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id "<public_hosted_zone_id>"" --change-batch '{ 1 > "Changes": [ > { > "Action": "CREATE", > "ResourceRecordSet": { > "Name": "\\052.apps.<cluster_domain>", 2 > "Type": "A", > "AliasTarget":{ > "HostedZoneId": "<hosted_zone_id>", 3 > "DNSName": "<external_ip>.", 4 > "EvaluateTargetHealth": false > } > } > } > ] > }' 1 For <public_hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone for your domain. 2 For <cluster_domain> , specify the domain or subdomain that you use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 3 For <hosted_zone_id> , specify the public hosted zone ID for the load balancer that you obtained. 4 For <external_ip> , specify the value of the external IP address of the Ingress Operator load balancer. Ensure that you include the trailing period ( . ) in this parameter value. 4.13.23. Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion. Prerequisites You removed the bootstrap node for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure. You installed the oc CLI. Procedure From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation: USD ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. Example output INFO Waiting up to 40m0s for the cluster at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443 to initialize... INFO Waiting up to 10m0s for the openshift-console route to be created... INFO Install complete! INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig' INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "4vYBz-Fe5en-ymBEc-Wt6NL" INFO Time elapsed: 1s Important The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information. It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation. Register your cluster on the Cluster registration page. 4.13.24. Logging in to the cluster by using the web console The kubeadmin user exists by default after an OpenShift Container Platform installation. You can log in to your cluster as the kubeadmin user by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites You have access to the installation host. You completed a cluster installation and all cluster Operators are available. Procedure Obtain the password for the kubeadmin user from the kubeadmin-password file on the installation host: USD cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password Note Alternatively, you can obtain the kubeadmin password from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. List the OpenShift Container Platform web console route: USD oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift' Note Alternatively, you can obtain the OpenShift Container Platform route from the <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log log file on the installation host. Example output console console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> console https reencrypt/Redirect None Navigate to the route detailed in the output of the preceding command in a web browser and log in as the kubeadmin user. Additional resources See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 4.13.25. 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 4.13.26. Additional resources See Working with stacks in the AWS documentation for more information about AWS CloudFormation stacks. 4.13.27. 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 .

Uninstalling a cluster on AWS You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS). 4.14.1. 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. 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. 4.14.2. Deleting AWS resources with the Cloud Credential Operator utility To clean up resources after uninstalling an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) in manual mode with STS, you can use the CCO utility ( ccoctl ) to remove the AWS resources that ccoctl created during installation. Prerequisites Extract and prepare the ccoctl binary. Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with the CCO in manual mode with STS. Procedure Delete the AWS resources that ccoctl created: USD ccoctl aws delete --name= <name> --region= <aws_region> where: <name> matches the name used to originally create and tag the cloud resources. <aws-region> is the AWS region in which cloud resources will be deleted. Example output: 2021/04/08 17:50:41 Identity Provider object .well-known/openid-configuration deleted from the bucket <name> -oidc 2021/04/08 17:50:42 Identity Provider object keys.json deleted from the bucket <name> -oidc 2021/04/08 17:50:43 Identity Provider bucket <name> -oidc deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:05 Policy <name> -openshift-cloud-credential-operator-cloud-credential-o associated with IAM Role <name> -openshift-cloud-credential-operator-cloud-credential-o deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:05 IAM Role <name> -openshift-cloud-credential-operator-cloud-credential-o deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:07 Policy <name> -openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials associated with IAM Role <name> -openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:07 IAM Role <name> -openshift-cluster-csi-drivers-ebs-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:08 Policy <name> -openshift-image-registry-installer-cloud-credentials associated with IAM Role <name> -openshift-image-registry-installer-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:08 IAM Role <name> -openshift-image-registry-installer-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:09 Policy <name> -openshift-ingress-operator-cloud-credentials associated with IAM Role <name> -openshift-ingress-operator-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:10 IAM Role <name> -openshift-ingress-operator-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:11 Policy <name> -openshift-machine-api-aws-cloud-credentials associated with IAM Role <name> -openshift-machine-api-aws-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:11 IAM Role <name> -openshift-machine-api-aws-cloud-credentials deleted 2021/04/08 17:51:39 Identity Provider with ARN arn:aws:iam:: <aws_account_id> :oidc-provider/ <name> -oidc.s3. <aws_region> .amazonaws.com deleted Verification You can verify that the resources are deleted by querying AWS. For more information, refer to AWS documentation.
