Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in AWS by using CloudFormation templates
In OKD version 4.6, 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.
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 OKD. 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. |
Prerequisites
You reviewed details about the OKD installation and update processes.
You configured an AWS account to host the cluster.
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.
Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
If you do not allow the system to manage identity and access management (IAM), then a cluster administrator can manually create and maintain IAM credentials. Manual mode can also be used in environments where the cloud IAM APIs are not reachable.
Required AWS infrastructure components
To install OKD 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 OKD bootstrap node
OKD control plane nodes
An OKD 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.
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.
You can use the following instance types for the cluster machines with the provided CloudFormation templates.
If |
Instance type | Bootstrap | Control plane | Compute |

You might be able to use other instance types that meet the specifications of these instance types.
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.
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 |
| 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 |
| Your VPC must have public subnets for between 1 and 3 availability zones and associate them with appropriate Ingress rules. | |
Internet gateway |
| 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 |
| You must allow the VPC to access the following ports: | |
Port | Reason | ||
| Inbound HTTP traffic | ||
| Inbound HTTPS traffic | ||
| Inbound SSH traffic | ||
| Inbound ephemeral traffic | ||
| Outbound ephemeral traffic | ||
Private subnets |
| 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 (also known as the master 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 |
| The hosted zone for your internal DNS. |
etcd record sets |
| The registration records for etcd for your control plane machines. |
Public load balancer |
| The load balancer for your public subnets. |
External API server record |
| Alias records for the external API server. |
External listener |
| A listener on port 6443 for the external load balancer. |
External target group |
| The target group for the external load balancer. |
Private load balancer |
| The load balancer for your private subnets. |
Internal API server record |
| Alias records for the internal API server. |
Internal listener |
| A listener on port 22623 for the internal load balancer. |
Internal target group |
| The target group for the internal load balancer. |
Internal listener |
| A listener on port 6443 for the internal load balancer. |
Internal target group |
| The target group for the internal load balancer. |
Security groups

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.

Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OKD, 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
Download installer from https://github.com/openshift/okd/releases
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.
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 OKD 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:
$ tar xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz
From the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site, download your installation pull secret as a
.txt
file. 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 OKD components.Using a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site is not required. You can use a pull secret for another private registry. Or, if you do not need the cluster to pull images from a private registry, you can use
{"auths":{"fake":{"auth":"aWQ6cGFzcwo="}}}
as the pull secret when prompted during the installation.If you do not use the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site:
Red Hat Operators are not available.
The Telemetry and Insights operators do not send data to Red Hat.
Content from the Red Hat Container Catalog registry, such as image streams and Operators, are not available.
Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
If you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery on your cluster, you must provide an SSH key to both your ssh-agent
and the installation program. You can use this key to access the bootstrap machine in a public cluster to troubleshoot installation issues.
In a production environment, you require disaster recovery and debugging. |
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user core
. When you deploy the cluster, the key is added to the core
user’s ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
list.
You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs. |
On clusters running Fedora CoreOS (FCOS), the SSH keys specified in the Ignition config files are written to the |
Procedure
If you do not have an SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication on your computer, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' \
-f <path>/<file_name> (1)
1 Specify the path and file name, such as ~/.ssh/id_rsa
, of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your~/.ssh
directory.Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in the location that you specified.
If you plan to install an OKD cluster that uses FIPS Validated / Modules in Process cryptographic libraries on the
x86_64
architecture, do not create a key that uses theed25519
algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses thersa
orecdsa
algorithm.Start the
ssh-agent
process as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
Example output
Agent pid 31874
If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA.
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent
:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> (1)
Example output
Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
1 Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Next steps
- When you install OKD, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. If you install a cluster on infrastructure that you provision, you must provide this key to your cluster’s machines.
Creating the installation files for AWS
To install OKD 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.
Optional: Creating a separate /var
partition
It is recommended that disk partitioning for OKD 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.
OKD 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 OKD 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 Fedora CoreOS (FCOS), the following procedure sets up the separate /var
partition by creating a machine config that is inserted during the openshift-install
preparation phases of an OKD installation.
If you follow the steps to create a separate |
Prerequisites
If container storage is on the root partition, ensure that this root partition is mounted with the
pquota
option by includingrootflags=pquota

, ensure that the following mount option is included in the/etc/fstab
file:/dev/sdb1 /var xfs defaults,pquota 0 0
If the container storage is on a partition that is mounted by

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 FCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition. Run
openshift-install
again to create Ignition configs from a set of files in themanifest
andopenshift
subdirectories:$ openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir $HOME/clusterconfig
$ ls $HOME/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 Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) systems.
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 OKD 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 Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) 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:
$ ./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.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 OKD version.
At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud:
Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines.
For production OKD 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.
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 that you obtained from the Pull Secret page on the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager site. This field is optional.
Optional: Back up the
install-config.yaml
file.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.
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 OKD 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’sspec.noProxy
field to bypass the proxy if necessary.The
Proxy
objectstatus.noProxy
field is populated with the values of thenetworking.machineNetwork[].cidr
,networking.clusterNetwork[].cidr
, andnetworking.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
objectstatus.noProxy
field is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254
).If your cluster is on AWS, you added the
ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com
,elasticloadbalancing.<region>.amazonaws.com
, ands3.<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
. If you use an MITM transparent proxy network that does not require additional proxy configuration but requires additional CAs, you must not specify anhttpProxy
value.2 A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster. If you use an MITM transparent proxy network that does not require additional proxy configuration but requires additional CAs, you must not specify an httpsProxy
value.3 A comma-separated list of destination domain names, domains, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude proxying. Preface a domain with .
to match subdomains only. For example,.y.com
matchesx.y.com
, but noty.com
. Use*
to bypass proxy for all destinations.4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle
in theopenshift-config
namespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates atrusted-ca-bundle
config map that merges these contents with the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in theProxy
object’strustedCA
field. TheadditionalTrustBundle
field is required unless the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the FCOS trust bundle. If you use an MITM transparent proxy network that does not require additional proxy configuration but requires additional CAs, you must provide the MITM CA certificate.The installation program does not support the proxy
readinessEndpoints
field.Save the file and reference it when installing OKD.
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
.

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 make its machines.
The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to create the cluster.
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 |
Prerequisites
You obtained the OKD installation program.
You created the
install-config.yaml
installation configuration file.
Procedure
Change to the directory that contains the installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir=<installation_directory> (1)
Example output
INFO Credentials loaded from the "myprofile" profile in file "/home/myuser/.aws/credentials"
INFO Consuming Install Config from target directory
INFO Manifests created in: install_dir/manifests and install_dir/openshift
1 For <installation_directory>
, specify the installation directory that contains theinstall-config.yaml
file you created.Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines:
$ 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:
$ 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 tofalse
. 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 tofalse
.Save and exit the file.
Optional: If you do not want the Ingress Operator to create DNS records on your behalf, remove the
privateZone
andpublicZone
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: (1)
id: example.openshift.com
status: {}
1 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:
$ ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir=<installation_directory> (1)
1 For <installation_directory>
, specify the same installation directory.The following files are generated in the directory:
.
├── auth
│ ├── kubeadmin-password
│ └── kubeconfig
├── bootstrap.ign
├── master.ign
├── metadata.json
└── worker.ign
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 OKD installation. The provided CloudFormation templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it.
Prerequisites
You obtained the OKD 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:
$ 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.
Creating a VPC in AWS
You must create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OKD 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.
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
and3
.5 The size of each subnet in each availability zone. 6 Specify an integer between 5
and13
, where5
is/27
and13
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:
You must enter the command on a single line.
$ 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 ascluster-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:
$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>
After the
StackStatus
displaysCREATE_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.

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 OKD 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 OKD 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).
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.

Creating security group and roles in AWS
You must create security groups and roles in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for your OKD 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 OKD cluster requires.
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:
You must enter the command on a single line.
$ 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 ascluster-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 someAWS::IAM::Role
andAWS::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:
$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name>
After the
StackStatus
displaysCREATE_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
CloudFormation template for security objects
You can use the following CloudFormation template to deploy the security objects that you need for your OKD cluster.

FCOS AMIs for the AWS infrastructure
Red Hat provides Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) AMIs valid for the various Amazon Web Services (AWS) zones you can specify for your OKD nodes.
You can also install to regions that do not have a FCOS AMI published by importing your own AMI. |
AWS regions without a published FCOS AMI
You can deploy an OKD cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions without native support for a Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) 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. This is required if you are deploying your cluster to an AWS government region.
If you are deploying to a non-government region that does not have a published FCOS AMI, 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 FCOS AMIs.
A region without native support for an FCOS 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.
Uploading a custom FCOS AMI in AWS
If you are deploying to a custom Amazon Web Services (AWS) region, you must upload a custom Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) 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 FCOS VMDK file to Amazon S3.
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:
$ 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:
$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region> (1)
1 The AWS region, like us-gov-east-1
.Export the version of FCOS you uploaded to Amazon S3 as an environment variable:
$ export RHCOS_VERSION=<version> (1)

Creating the bootstrap node in AWS
You must create the bootstrap node in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to use during OKD 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 OKD installation requires.
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.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.
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.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:
$ aws s3 mb s3://<cluster-name>-infra (1)
1 <cluster-name>-infra
is the bucket name. When creating theinstall-config.yaml
file, replace<cluster-name>
with the name specified for the cluster.Upload the
bootstrap.ign
Ignition config file to the bucket:$ 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:
$ 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)

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 OKD 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 OKD control plane:
$ ./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
, orerror
instead ofinfo
.Example output
INFO Waiting up to 20m0s for the Kubernetes API at https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443...
INFO API v1.19.0+9f84db3 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 OKD control plane has initialized.After the control plane initializes, it sets up the compute nodes and installs additional services in the form of Operators.
Additional resources

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:
$ oc get nodes
Example output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
master-0 Ready master 63m v1.19.0
master-1 Ready master 63m v1.19.0
master-2 Ready master 64m v1.19.0
worker-0 NotReady worker 76s v1.19.0
worker-1 NotReady worker 70s v1.19.0
The output lists all of the machines that you created.
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
orApproved
status for each machine that you added to the cluster:$ 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: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. Once 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.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
, andoc 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 thenode-bootstrapper
service account in thesystem:node
orsystem:admin
groups, and confirm the identity of the node.To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR:
$ 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:
$ 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
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:
$ 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:
$ 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:
$ 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:$ oc get nodes
Example output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
master-0 Ready master 73m v1.20.0
master-1 Ready master 73m v1.20.0
master-2 Ready master 74m v1.20.0
worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0
worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.20.0
It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the
Ready
status.

Configure the Operators that are not available.
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 OKD to hidden regions. See Configuring the registry for AWS user-provisioned infrastructure for more information.
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
:$ oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster
Example configuration
storage:
s3:
bucket: <bucket-name>
region: <region-name>
To secure your registry images in AWS, block public access to the S3 bucket. |
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:
$ oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io cluster --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"storage":{"emptyDir":{}}}}'
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.
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:
$ 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.
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 OKD 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 OKD 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:
$ 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:$ 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:
$ 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:
$ aws route53 list-hosted-zones-by-name \
--dns-name "<domain_name>" \ (1)
--query 'HostedZones[? Config.PrivateZone != `true` && Name == `<domain_name>.`].Id' (1)
--output text
1 For <domain_name>
, specify the Route 53 base domain for your OKD 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:
$ 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 OKD 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:
$ 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 OKD 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.
Completing an AWS installation on user-provisioned infrastructure
After you start the OKD installation on Amazon Web Service (AWS) user-provisioned infrastructure, monitor the deployment to completion.
Prerequisites
You removed the bootstrap node for an OKD cluster on user-provisioned AWS infrastructure.
You installed the
oc
CLI.
Procedure
From the directory that contains the installation program, complete the cluster installation:
$ ./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
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.
Logging in to the cluster by using the web console
The kubeadmin
user exists by default after an OKD installation. You can log into your cluster as the kubeadmin
user by using the OKD 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 thekubeadmin-password
file on the installation host:$ cat <installation_directory>/auth/kubeadmin-password
Alternatively, you can obtain the
kubeadmin
password from the<installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log
log file on the installation host.List the OKD web console route:
$ oc get routes -n openshift-console | grep 'console-openshift'
Alternatively, you can obtain the OKD 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.
