Chapter 2. Customer Cloud Subscriptions on GCP OpenShift Dedicated provides a Customer Cloud Subscription (CCS) model that allows Red Hat to deploy and manage clusters in a customer's existing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account. 2.1. Understanding Customer Cloud Subscriptions on GCP Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated provides a Customer Cloud Subscription (CCS) model that allows Red Hat to deploy and manage OpenShift Dedicated into a customer's existing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account. Red Hat requires several prerequisites be met in order to provide this service. Red Hat recommends the usage of GCP project, managed by the customer, to organize all of your GCP resources. A project consists of a set of users and APIs, as well as billing, authentication, and monitoring settings for those APIs. It is recommended for the OpenShift Dedicated cluster using a CCS model to be hosted in a GCP project within a GCP organization. The Organization resource is the root node of the GCP resource hierarchy and all resources that belong to an organization are grouped under the organization node. Customers have the choice of using service account keys or Workload Identity Federation when creating the roles and credentials necessary to access Google Cloud resources within a GCP project. 2.2. Customer requirements OpenShift Dedicated clusters using a Customer Cloud Subscription (CCS) model on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) must meet several prerequisites before they can be deployed. 2.2.1. Account The customer ensures that Google Cloud limits are sufficient to support OpenShift Dedicated provisioned within the customer-provided GCP account. The customer-provided GCP account should be in the customer's Google Cloud Organization. The customer-provided GCP account must not be transferable to Red Hat. The customer may not impose GCP usage restrictions on Red Hat activities. Imposing restrictions severely hinders Red Hat's ability to respond to incidents. Red Hat deploys monitoring into GCP to alert Red Hat when a highly privileged account, such as a root account, logs into the customer-provided GCP account. The customer can deploy native GCP services within the same customer-provided GCP account. Note Customers are encouraged, but not mandated, to deploy resources in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) separate from the VPC hosting OpenShift Dedicated and other Red Hat supported services. 2.2.2. Access requirements To appropriately manage the OpenShift Dedicated service, Red Hat must have the AdministratorAccess policy applied to the administrator role at all times. Note This policy only provides Red Hat with permissions and capabilities to change resources in the customer-provided GCP account. Red Hat must have GCP console access to the customer-provided GCP account. This access is protected and managed by Red Hat. The customer must not utilize the GCP account to elevate their permissions within the OpenShift Dedicated cluster. Actions available in the OpenShift Cluster Manager must not be directly performed in the customer-provided GCP account. 2.2.3. Support requirements Red Hat recommends that the customer have at least Enhanced Support from GCP. Red Hat has authority from the customer to request GCP support on their behalf. Red Hat has authority from the customer to request GCP resource limit increases on the customer-provided account. Red Hat manages the restrictions, limitations, expectations, and defaults for all OpenShift Dedicated clusters in the same manner, unless otherwise specified in this requirements section. 2.2.4. Security requirements The customer-provided IAM credentials must be unique to the customer-provided GCP account and must not be stored anywhere in the customer-provided GCP account. Volume snapshots will remain within the customer-provided GCP account and customer-specified region. To manage, monitor, and troubleshoot OpenShift Dedicated clusters, Red Hat must have direct access to the cluster's API server. You must not restrict or otherwise prevent Red Hat's access to the OpenShift Dedicated cluster's API server. Note SRE uses various methods to access clusters, depending on network configuration. Access to private clusters is restricted to Red Hat trusted IP addresses only. These access restrictions are managed automatically by Red Hat. OpenShift Dedicated requires egress access to certain endpoints over the internet. Only clusters deployed with Private Service Connect can use a firewall to control egress traffic. For additional information, see the GCP firewall prerequisites section. 2.3. Required customer procedure The Customer Cloud Subscription (CCS) model allows Red Hat to deploy and manage OpenShift Dedicated into a customer's Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project. Red Hat requires several prerequisites to provide these services. Note The following requirements in this topic apply to OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) clusters created using both the service account and Workload Identity Federation authentication type. For additional requirements that apply to the service account authentication type only, see Service account authentication type procedure . For additional requirements that apply to the Workload Identity Federation authentication type only, see Workload Identity Federation authentication type procedure . Prerequisites Before using OpenShift Dedicated in your GCP project, confirm that the following organizational policy constraints are configured correctly where applicable: constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains This policy constraint is supported only if Red Hat's Directory Customer ID's C02k0l5e8 and C04j7mbwl are included in the allowlist. constraints/compute.restrictLoadBalancerCreationForTypes This policy constraint is supported only when creating a private cluster with GCP Private Service Connect (PSC). You must ensure that the INTERNAL_TCP_UDP load balancer type is included in the allowlist or excluded from the deny list. Important Although the EXTERNAL_NETWORK_TCP_UDP load balancer type is not required when creating a private cluster with GCP Private Service Connect (PSC), disallowing it via this constraint will prevent the cluster from being able to create externally accessible load balancers. constraints/compute.requireShieldedVm This policy constraint is supported only if the cluster is created with Enable Secure Boot support for Shielded VMs selected during the initial cluster creation. constraints/compute.vmExternalIpAccess This policy constraint is supported only when creating a private cluster with GCP Private Service Connect (PSC). For all other cluster types, this policy constraint is supported only after cluster creation. constraints/compute.trustedImageProjects policy This policy constraint is supported only when the projects redhat-marketplace-public , rhel-cloud , and rhcos-cloud are included in the allowlist. If this policy constraint is enabled and these projects are not included in the allowlist, cluster creation will fail. Procedure Create a Google Cloud project to host the OpenShift Dedicated cluster. Enable the following required APIs in the project that hosts your OpenShift Dedicated cluster: Table 2.1. Required API services API service Console service name Purpose Cloud Deployment Manager V2 API deploymentmanager.googleapis.com Used for automated deployment and management of infrastructure resources. Compute Engine API compute.googleapis.com Used for creating and managing virtual machines, firewalls, networks, persistent disk volumes, and load balancers.

Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy API iap.googleapis.com [*] Used in emergency situations to troubleshoot cluster nodes that are otherwise inaccessible. This API is required for clusters deployed with Private Service Connect. 2.3.1. Service account authentication type procedure Besides the required customer procedures listed in Required customer procedure , there are other specific actions that you must take when creating an OpenShift Dedicated cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using a service account as the authentication type. Procedure To ensure that Red Hat can perform necessary actions, you must create an osd-ccs-admin IAM service account user within the GCP project. The following roles must be granted to the service account : Table 2.2. Required roles Role Console role name Compute Admin roles/compute.admin DNS Administrator roles/dns.admin Organization Policy Viewer roles/orgpolicy.policyViewer Service Management Administrator roles/servicemanagement.admin Service Usage Admin roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin Storage Admin roles/storage.admin Compute Load Balancer Admin roles/compute.loadBalancerAdmin Role Viewer roles/viewer Role Administrator roles/iam.roleAdmin Security Admin roles/iam.securityAdmin Service Account Key Admin roles/iam.serviceAccountKeyAdmin Service Account Admin roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin Service Account User roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Create the service account key for the osd-ccs-admin IAM service account. Export the key to a file named osServiceAccount.json ; this JSON file will be uploaded in Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager when you create your cluster. 2.3.2. Workload Identity Federation authentication type procedure Besides the required customer procedures listed in Required customer procedure , there are other specific actions that you must take when creating an OpenShift Dedicated cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Workload Identity Federation as the authentication type. Procedure Assign the following roles to the service account of the user implementing the Workload Identity Federation authentication type: Table 2.3. Required roles Role Console role name Role purpose Role Administrator roles/iam.roleAdmin Required by the GCP client in the OCM CLI for creating custom roles. Service Account Admin roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin Required to pre-create the services account required by the OSD deployer, support and operators. Workload Identity Pool Admin roles/iam.workloadIdentityPoolAdmin Required to create and configure the workload identity pool. Project IAM Admin roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin Required for assigning roles to the service account and giving permissions to those roles that are necessary to perform operations on cloud resources. Install the OpenShift Cluster Manager API command-line interface ( ocm ) . To use the OCM CLI, you must authenticate against your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager account. This is accomplished with the OpenShift Cluster Manager API token. You can obtain your token here . To authenticate against your Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager account, run the following command: USD ocm login --token <token> 1 1 Replace <token> with your OpenShift Cluster Manager API token. Important OpenShift Cluster Manager API command-line interface ( ocm ) is a Developer Preview feature only. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Developer Preview features, see Developer Preview Support Scope . Install the gcloud CLI . Authenticate the gcloud CLI with the Application Default Credentials (ADC) . 2.4. Red Hat managed Google Cloud resources Red Hat is responsible for creating and managing the following IAM Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources. Important The IAM service account and roles and IAM group and roles topics are only applicable to clusters created using the service account authentication type. 2.4.1. IAM service account and roles The osd-managed-admin IAM service account is created immediately after taking control of the customer-provided GCP account. This is the user that will perform the OpenShift Dedicated cluster installation. The following roles are attached to the service account: Table 2.4. IAM roles for osd-managed-admin Role Console role name Description Compute Admin roles/compute.admin Provides full control of all Compute Engine resources. DNS Administrator roles/dns.admin Provides read-write access to all Cloud DNS resources. Security Admin roles/iam.securityAdmin Security admin role, with permissions to get and set any IAM policy. Storage Admin roles/storage.admin Grants full control of objects and buckets. When applied to an individual bucket , control applies only to the specified bucket and objects within the bucket. Service Account Admin roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin Create and manage service accounts. Service Account Key Admin roles/iam.serviceAccountKeyAdmin Create and manage (and rotate) service account keys. Service Account User roles/iam.serviceAccountUser Run operations as the service account. Role Administrator roles/iam.roleAdmin Provides access to all custom roles in the project. 2.4.2. IAM group and roles The sd-sre-platform-gcp-access Google group is granted access to the GCP project to allow Red Hat Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) access to the console for emergency troubleshooting purposes. Note For information regarding the roles within the sd-sre-platform-gcp-access group that are specific to clusters created when using the Workload Identity Federation (WIF) authentication type, see managed-cluster-config . For information about creating a cluster using the Workload Identity Federation authentication type, see Additional resources . The following roles are attached to the group: Table 2.5. IAM roles for sd-sre-platform-gcp-access Role Console role name Description Compute Admin roles/compute.admin Provides full control of all Compute Engine resources.

Tech Support Editor roles/cloudsupport.techSupportEditor Provides full read-write access to technical support cases. 2.5. Provisioned GCP Infrastructure This is an overview of the provisioned Google Cloud Platform (GCP) components on a deployed OpenShift Dedicated cluster. For a more detailed listing of all provisioned GCP components, see the OpenShift Container Platform documentation . 2.5.1. Compute instances GCP compute instances are required to deploy the control plane and data plane functions of OpenShift Dedicated in GCP. Instance types might vary for control plane and infrastructure nodes depending on worker node count. Single availability zone 2 infra nodes (custom machine type: 4 vCPU and 32 GB RAM) 3 control plane nodes (custom machine type: 8 vCPU and 32 GB RAM) 2 worker nodes (custom machine type: 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM) Multiple availability zones 3 infra nodes (custom machine type: 4 vCPU and 32 GB RAM) 3 control plane nodes (custom machine type: 8 vCPU and 32 GB RAM) 3 worker nodes (custom machine type: 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM) 2.5.2. Storage Infrastructure volumes: 300 GB SSD persistent disk (deleted on instance deletion) 110 GB Standard persistent disk (kept on instance deletion) Worker volumes: 300 GB SSD persistent disk (deleted on instance deletion) Control plane volumes: 350 GB SSD persistent disk (deleted on instance deletion) 2.5.3. VPC Subnets: One master subnet for the control plane workloads and one worker subnet for all others. Router tables: One global route table per VPC. Internet gateways: One internet gateway per cluster. NAT gateways: One master NAT gateway and one worker NAT gateway per cluster. 2.5.4. Services The following services must be enabled on a GCP CCS cluster: deploymentmanager compute cloudapis cloudresourcemanager dns iamcredentials iam servicemanagement serviceusage storage-api storage-component orgpolicy networksecurity 2.6. GCP account limits The OpenShift Dedicated cluster uses a number of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) components, but the default quotas do not affect your ability to install an OpenShift Dedicated cluster. A standard OpenShift Dedicated cluster uses the following resources. Note that some resources are required only during the bootstrap process and are removed after the cluster deploys. Table 2.6. GCP resources used in a default cluster Service Component Location Total resources required Resources removed after bootstrap Service account IAM Global 5 0 Firewall Rules Compute Global 11 1 Forwarding Rules Compute Global 2 0 In-use global IP addresses Compute Global 4 1 Health checks Compute Global 3 0 Images Compute Global 1 0 Networks Compute Global 2 0 Static IP addresses Compute Region 4 1 Routers Compute Global 1 0 Routes Compute Global 2 0 Subnetworks Compute Global 2 0 Target Pools Compute Global 3 0 CPUs Compute Region 28 4 Persistent Disk SSD (GB) Compute Region 896 128 Note If any of the quotas are insufficient during installation, the installation program displays an error that states both which quota was exceeded and the region. Be sure to consider your actual cluster size, planned cluster growth, and any usage from other clusters that are associated with your account. The CPU, Static IP addresses, and Persistent Disk SSD (Storage) quotas are the ones that are most likely to be insufficient. If you plan to deploy your cluster in one of the following regions, you will exceed the maximum storage quota and are likely to exceed the CPU quota limit: asia-east2 asia-northeast2 asia-south1 australia-southeast1 europe-north1 europe-west2 europe-west3 europe-west6 northamerica-northeast1 southamerica-east1 us-west2 You can increase resource quotas from the GCP console , but you might need to file a support ticket. Be sure to plan your cluster size early so that you can allow time to resolve the support ticket before you install your OpenShift Dedicated cluster. 2.7. GCP firewall prerequisites If you are using a firewall to control egress traffic from OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you must configure your firewall to grant access to certain domains and port combinations listed in the tables below. OpenShift Dedicated requires this access to provide a fully managed OpenShift service. Important Only OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) clusters deployed with Private Service Connect can use a firewall to control egress traffic.
