- Next steps
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.10, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses infrastructure that you provide and an internal mirror of the installation release content.
|
While you can install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using mirrored installation release content, your cluster still requires internet access to use the GCP APIs. |
The steps for performing a user-provided infrastructure install are outlined here. Several Deployment Manager templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods.
|
The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of OpenShift Container Platform. Several Deployment Manager templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example. |
Prerequisites
-
You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes.
-
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
-
You created a registry on your mirror host and obtained the
imageContentSourcesdata for your version of OpenShift Container Platform.Because the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps.
-
If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. While you might need to grant access to more sites, you must grant access to
*.googleapis.comandaccounts.google.com. -
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the
kube-systemnamespace, you can manually create and maintain IAM credentials.
About installations in restricted networks
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.10, 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 image 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.
|
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. |
Additional limits
Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions:
-
The
ClusterVersionstatus includes anUnable to retrieve available updateserror. -
By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags.
Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.10, 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.
|
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. |
Configuring your GCP project
Before you can install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it.
Creating a GCP project
To install OpenShift Container Platform, you must create a project in your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account to host the cluster.
Procedure
-
Create a project to host your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. See Creating and Managing Projects in the GCP documentation.
Your GCP project must use the Premium Network Service Tier if you are using installer-provisioned infrastructure. The Standard Network Service Tier is not supported for clusters installed using the installation program. The installation program configures internal load balancing for the
api-int.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>URL; the Premium Tier is required for internal load balancing.
Enabling API services in GCP
Your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project requires access to several API services to complete OpenShift Container Platform installation.
Prerequisites
-
You created a project to host your cluster.
Procedure
-
Enable the following required API services in the project that hosts your cluster. You can also enable optional API services which are not required for installation. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation.

Configuring DNS for GCP
To install OpenShift Container Platform, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account you use must have a dedicated public hosted zone in the same project that you host the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. This zone must be authoritative for the domain. The DNS service provides cluster DNS resolution and name lookup for external connections to the cluster.
Procedure
-
Identify your domain, or subdomain, and registrar. You can transfer an existing domain and registrar or obtain a new one through GCP or another source.
If you purchase a new domain, it can take time for the relevant DNS changes to propagate. For more information about purchasing domains through Google, see Google Domains.
-
Create a public hosted zone for your domain or subdomain in your GCP project. See Creating public zones in the GCP documentation.
Use an appropriate root domain, such as
openshiftcorp.com, or subdomain, such asclusters.openshiftcorp.com. -
Extract the new authoritative name servers from the hosted zone records. See Look up your Cloud DNS name servers in the GCP documentation.
You typically have four name servers.
-
Update the registrar records for the name servers that your domain uses. For example, if you registered your domain to Google Domains, see the following topic in the Google Domains Help: How to switch to custom name servers.
-
If you migrated your root domain to Google Cloud DNS, migrate your DNS records. See Migrating to Cloud DNS in the GCP documentation.
-
If you use a subdomain, follow your company’s procedures to add its delegation records to the parent domain. This process might include a request to your company’s IT department or the division that controls the root domain and DNS services for your company.
GCP account limits
The OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses a number of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) components, but the default Quotas do not affect your ability to install a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
A default cluster, which contains three compute and three control plane machines, uses the following resources. Note that some resources are required only during the bootstrap process and are removed after the cluster deploys.

If any of the quotas are insufficient during installation, the installation program displays an error that states both which quota was exceeded and the region. |
Be sure to consider your actual cluster size, planned cluster growth, and any usage from other clusters that are associated with your account. The CPU, static IP addresses, and persistent disk SSD (storage) quotas are the ones that are most likely to be insufficient.
If you plan to deploy your cluster in one of the following regions, you will exceed the maximum storage quota and are likely to exceed the CPU quota limit:
-
asia-east2 -
asia-northeast2 -
asia-south1 -
australia-southeast1 -
europe-north1 -
europe-west2 -
europe-west3 -
europe-west6 -
northamerica-northeast1 -
southamerica-east1 -
us-west2
You can increase resource quotas from the GCP console, but you might need to file a support ticket. Be sure to plan your cluster size early so that you can allow time to resolve the support ticket before you install your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Creating a service account in GCP
OpenShift Container Platform requires a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service account that provides authentication and authorization to access data in the Google APIs. If you do not have an existing IAM service account that contains the required roles in your project, you must create one.
Prerequisites
-
You created a project to host your cluster.
Procedure
-
Create a service account in the project that you use to host your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. See Creating a service account in the GCP documentation.
-
Grant the service account the appropriate permissions. You can either grant the individual permissions that follow or assign the
Ownerrole to it. See Granting roles to a service account for specific resources.While making the service account an owner of the project is the easiest way to gain the required permissions, it means that service account has complete control over the project. You must determine if the risk that comes from offering that power is acceptable.
-
Create the service account key in JSON format. See Creating service account keys in the GCP documentation.
The service account key is required to create a cluster.
Required GCP roles
When you attach the Owner role to the service account that you create, you grant that service account all permissions, including those that are required to install OpenShift Container Platform. If your organization’s security policies require a more restrictive set of permissions, you can create a service account with the following permissions. If you deploy your cluster into an existing virtual private cloud (VPC), the service account does not require certain networking permissions, which are noted in the following lists:
Required roles for the installation program
-
Compute Admin
-
Security Admin
-
Service Account Admin
-
Service Account Key Admin
-
Service Account User
-
Storage Admin
Required roles for creating network resources during installation
-
DNS Administrator
Required roles for user-provisioned GCP infrastructure
-
Deployment Manager Editor
The roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use:
| Account | Roles |
|---|---|
Control Plane |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compute |
|
|
Required GCP permissions for user-provisioned infrastructure
When you attach the Owner role to the service account that you create, you grant that service account all permissions, including those that are required to install OpenShift Container Platform.
If your organization’s security policies require a more restrictive set of permissions, you can create custom roles with the necessary permissions. The following permissions are required for the user-provisioned infrastructure for creating and deleting the OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

Installing and configuring CLI tools for GCP
To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must install and configure the CLI tools for GCP.
Prerequisites
-
You created a project to host your cluster.
-
You created a service account and granted it the required permissions.
Procedure
-
Install the following binaries in
$PATH:-
gcloud -
gsutil
See Install the latest Cloud SDK version in the GCP documentation.
-
-
Authenticate using the
gcloudtool with your configured service account.See Authorizing with a service account in the GCP documentation.
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.
Required machines for cluster installation
The smallest OpenShift Container Platform clusters require the following 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. |
|
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) 8.4, or RHEL 8.5.
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.
Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation
Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum 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 8.4, or RHEL 8.5 [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 × cores) × 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 has been removed in OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and later.
If an instance type for your platform meets the minimum requirements for cluster machines, it is supported to use in OpenShift Container Platform.
Tested instance types for GCP
The following Google Cloud Platform instance types have been tested with OpenShift Container Platform.
Machine series
-
C2 -
E2 -
M1 -
N1 -
N2 -
N2D -
Tau T2D
Using custom machine types
Using a custom machine type to install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster is supported.
Consider the following when using a custom machine type:
-
Similar to predefined instance types, custom machine types must meet the minimum resource requirements for control plane and compute machines. For more information, see "Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation".
-
The name of the custom machine type must adhere to the following syntax:
custom-<number_of_cpus>-<amount_of_memory_in_mb>For example,
custom-6-20480.
Creating the installation files for GCP
To install OpenShift Container Platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must generate the files that the installation program needs to deploy your cluster and modify them so that the cluster creates only the machines that it will use. You generate and customize the install-config.yaml file, Kubernetes manifests, and Ignition config files. You also have the option to first set up a separate var partition during the preparation phases of installation.
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.
|
If you follow the steps to create a separate |
Procedure
-
Create a directory to hold the OpenShift Container Platform installation files:
$ mkdir $HOME/clusterconfig -
Run
openshift-installto create a set of files in themanifestandopenshiftsubdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted:$ openshift-install create manifests --dir $HOME/clusterconfigExample 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: $HOME/clusterconfig/manifests and $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift -
Optional: Confirm that the installation program created manifests in the
clusterconfig/openshiftdirectory:$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/Example output99_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
$HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu, change the disk device name to the name of the storage device on theworkersystems, and set the storage size as appropriate. This example places the/vardirectory on a separate partition:variant: openshift version: 4.10.0 metadata: labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker name: 98-var-partition storage: disks: - device: /dev/<device_name> (1) partitions: - label: var start_mib: <partition_start_offset> (2) size_mib: <partition_size> (3) filesystems: - device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var path: /var format: xfs mount_options: [defaults, prjquota] (4) with_mount_unit: true1 The storage device name of the disk that you want to partition. 2 When adding a data partition to the boot disk, a minimum value of 25000 MiB (Mebibytes) is recommended. The root file system is automatically resized to fill all available space up to the specified offset. If no value is specified, or if the specified value is smaller than the recommended minimum, the resulting root file system will be too small, and future reinstalls of RHCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition. 3 The size of the data partition in mebibytes. 4 The prjquotamount option must be enabled for filesystems used for container storage.When creating a separate
/varpartition, you cannot use different instance types for worker nodes, if the different instance types do not have the same device name. -
Create a manifest from the Butane config and save it to the
clusterconfig/openshiftdirectory. For example, run the following command:$ butane $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/98-var-partition.yaml -
Run
openshift-installagain to create Ignition configs from a set of files in themanifestandopenshiftsubdirectories:$ 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) systems.
Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Prerequisites
-
Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host.
-
Have the
imageContentSourcesvalues 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.yamlfile.-
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 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.
For production OpenShift Container Platform clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your
ssh-agentprocess uses. -

Back up the
install-config.yamlfile so that you can use it to install multiple clusters.The
install-config.yamlfile is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now.
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.yamlfile. -
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
Proxyobject’sspec.noProxyfield to bypass the proxy if necessary.The
Proxyobjectstatus.noProxyfield 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
Proxyobjectstatus.noProxyfield is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254).
Procedure
-
Edit your
install-config.yamlfile 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.commatchesx.y.com, but noty.com. Use*to bypass the proxy for all destinations.4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundlein theopenshift-confignamespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates atrusted-ca-bundleconfig map that merges these contents with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in thetrustedCAfield of theProxyobject. TheadditionalTrustBundlefield is required unless the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle.The installation program does not support the proxy
readinessEndpointsfield.If the installer times out, restart and then complete the deployment by using the
wait-forcommand of the installer. For example:$ ./openshift-install wait-for install-complete --log-level debug -
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.

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.
|
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.yamlinstallation configuration file.
Procedure
-
Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> (1)1 For <installation_directory>, specify the installation directory that contains theinstall-config.yamlfile you created. -
Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yamlBy removing these files, you prevent the cluster from automatically generating control plane machines.
-
Optional: If you do not want the cluster to provision compute machines, remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the worker machines:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yamlBecause you create and manage the worker machines yourself, you do not need to initialize these machines.
-
Check that the
mastersSchedulableparameter in the<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.ymlKubernetes 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.ymlfile. -
Locate the
mastersSchedulableparameter 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
privateZoneandpublicZonesections from the<installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-dns-02-config.ymlDNS 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.Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The
kubeadmin-passwordandkubeconfigfiles are created in the./<installation_directory>/authdirectory:. ├── auth │ ├── kubeadmin-password │ └── kubeconfig ├── bootstrap.ign ├── master.ign ├── metadata.json └── worker.ign
Additional resources
Exporting common variables
Extracting the infrastructure name
The Ignition config files contain a unique cluster identifier that you can use to uniquely identify your cluster in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The infrastructure name is also used to locate the appropriate GCP resources during an OpenShift Container Platform installation.

All the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines require networking to be configured in initramfs during boot
to fetch their Ignition config files.
Setting the cluster node hostnames through DHCP
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines, the hostname is set through NetworkManager. By default, the machines obtain their hostname through DHCP. If the hostname is not provided by DHCP, set statically through kernel arguments, or another method, it is obtained through a reverse DNS lookup. Reverse DNS lookup occurs after the network has been initialized on a node and can take time to resolve. Other system services can start prior to this and detect the hostname as localhost or similar. You can avoid this by using DHCP to provide the hostname for each cluster node.
Additionally, setting the hostnames through DHCP can bypass any manual DNS record name configuration errors in environments that have a DNS split-horizon implementation.
Network connectivity requirements
You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OpenShift Container Platform cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster.

You must create IAM roles in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use. One way to create these components is to modify the provided Deployment Manager template.
|
If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your GCP infrastructure, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. |
Prerequisites
-
Configure a GCP account.
-
Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster.
-
Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP.
Procedure
-
Copy the template from the Deployment Manager template for IAM roles section of this topic and save it as
03_iam.pyon your computer. This template describes the IAM roles that your cluster requires. -
Create a
03_iam.yamlresource definition file:$ cat <<EOF >03_iam.yaml imports: - path: 03_iam.py resources: - name: cluster-iam type: 03_iam.py properties: infra_id: '${INFRA_ID}' (1) EOF1 infra_idis theINFRA_IDinfrastructure name from the extraction step. -
Create the deployment by using the
gcloudCLI:$ gcloud deployment-manager deployments create ${INFRA_ID}-iam --config 03_iam.yaml -
Export the variable for the master service account:
$ export MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=(`gcloud iam service-accounts list --filter "email~^${INFRA_ID}-m@${PROJECT_NAME}." --format json | jq -r '.[0].email'`) -
Export the variable for the worker service account:
$ export WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=(`gcloud iam service-accounts list --filter "email~^${INFRA_ID}-w@${PROJECT_NAME}." --format json | jq -r '.[0].email'`) -
Export the variable for the subnet that hosts the compute machines:
$ export COMPUTE_SUBNET=(`gcloud compute networks subnets describe ${INFRA_ID}-worker-subnet --region=${REGION} --format json | jq -r .selfLink`) -
The templates do not create the policy bindings due to limitations of Deployment Manager, so you must create them manually:
$ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/compute.instanceAdmin" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/compute.networkAdmin" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/compute.securityAdmin" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/iam.serviceAccountUser" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/storage.admin" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/compute.viewer" $ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${PROJECT_NAME} --member "serviceAccount:${WORKER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}" --role "roles/storage.admin" -
Create a service account key and store it locally for later use:
$ gcloud iam service-accounts keys create service-account-key.json --iam-account=${MASTER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT}

You must use a valid Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OpenShift Container Platform nodes.
Procedure
-
Obtain the RHCOS image from the RHCOS image mirror page.
The RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download an image with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image version that matches your OpenShift Container Platform version if it is available.
The file name contains the OpenShift Container Platform version number in the format
rhcos-<version>-<arch>-gcp.<arch>.tar.gz. -
Create the Google storage bucket:
$ gsutil mb gs://<bucket_name> -
Upload the RHCOS image to the Google storage bucket:
$ gsutil cp <downloaded_image_file_path>/rhcos-<version>-x86_64-gcp.x86_64.tar.gz gs://<bucket_name> -
Export the uploaded RHCOS image location as a variable:
$ export IMAGE_SOURCE=gs://<bucket_name>/rhcos-<version>-x86_64-gcp.x86_64.tar.gz -
Create the cluster image:
$ gcloud compute images create "${INFRA_ID}-rhcos-image" \ --source-uri="${IMAGE_SOURCE}"

Creating additional worker machines in GCP
You can create worker machines in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your cluster to use by launching individual instances discretely or by automated processes outside the cluster, such as auto scaling groups. You can also take advantage of the built-in cluster scaling mechanisms and the machine API in OpenShift Container Platform.
In this example, you manually launch one instance by using the Deployment
Manager template. Additional instances can be launched by including additional
resources of type 06_worker.py in the file.

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: trueto theOperatorHubobject:$ oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json \ -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]'
|
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. |
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 nodesExample outputNAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.23.0 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.23.0 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.23.0The 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
PendingorApprovedstatus for each machine that you added to the cluster:$ oc get csrExample outputNAME 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
Pendingstatus, 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. 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-approverif 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 logscommands 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-bootstrapperservice account in thesystem:nodeorsystem:admingroups, 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 approveSome 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 csrExample outputNAME 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
Pendingstatus, 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
Readystatus. Verify this by running the following command:$ oc get nodesExample outputNAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.23.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.23.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.23.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.23.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.23.0It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the
Readystatus.

Optional: Adding the ingress DNS records
If you removed the DNS zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs, you must manually create DNS records that point at the ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard *.apps.{baseDomain}. or specific records. You can use A, CNAME, and other records per your requirements.
Prerequisites
-
Configure a GCP account.
-
Remove the DNS Zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and generating Ignition configs.
-
Create and configure a VPC and associated subnets in GCP.
-
Create and configure networking and load balancers in GCP.
-
Create control plane and compute roles.
-
Create the bootstrap machine.
-
Create the control plane machines.
-
Create the worker machines.
Procedure
-
Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the
EXTERNAL-IPfield:$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-defaultExample outputNAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.18.154 35.233.157.184 80:32288/TCP,443:31215/TCP 98 -
Add the A record to your zones:
-
To use A records:
-
Export the variable for the router IP address:
$ export ROUTER_IP=`oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default --no-headers | awk '{print $4}'` -
Add the A record to the private zones:
$ if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction add ${ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.${CLUSTER_NAME}.${BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone -
For an external cluster, also add the A record to the public zones:
$ if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction add ${ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.${CLUSTER_NAME}.${BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME}
-
-
To add explicit domains instead of using a wildcard, create entries for each of the cluster’s current routes:
$ oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routesExample outputoauth-openshift.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com console-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com downloads-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com

Completing a GCP installation on user-provisioned infrastructure
After you start the OpenShift Container Platform installation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) user-provisioned infrastructure, you can monitor the cluster events until the cluster is ready.
Prerequisites
-
Deploy the bootstrap machine for an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on user-provisioned GCP infrastructure.
-
Install the
ocCLI and log in.
Procedure
-
Complete the cluster installation:
$ ./openshift-install --dir <installation_directory> wait-for install-complete (1)Example outputINFO Waiting up to 30m0s for the cluster to initialize...1 For <installation_directory>, specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.-
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-bootstrappercertificate 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.

Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.10, 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.
