--role-arn <arn>

The ARN of the installer role that OpenShift Cluster Manager uses to create the cluster. This is required if you have not already created account roles.

--service-cidr <address_block>

Block of IP addresses (ipNet) for services, for example, 172.30.0.0/16.

OVN-Kubernetes, the default network provider in ROSA 4.11 and later, uses the 100.64.0.0/16 IP address range internally. If your cluster uses OVN-Kubernetes, do not include the 100.64.0.0/16 IP address range in any other CIDR definitions in your cluster.

Leave the value empty for installer-provisioned subnet IDs.

When using --private-link, the --subnet-ids argument is required and only one private subnet is allowed per zone.

--support-role-arn string

The ARN of the role used by Red Hat Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to enable access to the cluster account to provide support.

--tags

Tags that are used on resources created by Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS in AWS. Tags can help you manage, identify, organize, search for, and filter resources within AWS. Tags are comma separated, for example: "key value, foo bar".

Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS only supports custom tags to Red Hat OpenShift resources during cluster creation. Once added, the tags cannot be removed or edited. Tags that are added by Red Hat are required for clusters to stay in compliance with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs). These tags must not be removed.

Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS does not support adding additional tags outside of ROSA cluster-managed resources. These tags can be lost when AWS resources are managed by the ROSA cluster. In these cases, you might need custom solutions or tools to reconcile the tags and keep them intact.

--version string

The version of ROSA that will be used to install the cluster or cluster resources. For cluster use an X.Y.Z format, for example, 4.17.0. For account-role use an X.Y format, for example, 4.17.

--max-surge

For Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes (HCP) clusters, the max-surge parameter defines the number of new nodes that can be provisioned in excess of the desired number of replicas for the machine pool, as configured using the --replicas parameter, or as determined by the autoscaler when autoscaling is enabled. This can be an absolute number (for example, 2) or a percentage of the machine pool size (for example, 20%), but must use the same unit as the max-unavailable parameter.

The default value is 1, meaning that the maximum number of nodes in the machine pool during an upgrade is 1 plus the desired number of replicas for the machine pool. In this situation, one excess node can be provisioned before existing nodes need to be made unavailable. The number of nodes that can be provisioned simultaneously during an upgrade is max-surge plus max-unavailable.

--max-unavailable

This can be an absolute number (for example, 2) or a percentage of the current replica count in the machine pool (for example, 20%), but must use the same unit as the max-surge parameter.

The default value is 0, meaning that no outdated nodes are removed before new nodes are provisioned. The valid range for this value is from 0 to the current machine pool size, or from 0% to 100%. The total number of nodes that can be upgraded simultaneously during an upgrade is max-surge plus max-unavailable.

--name

Required: The name (string) for the machine pool.

--replicas

Required when autoscaling is not configured. The number (integer) of machines for this machine pool.

--tags

Apply user defined tags to all resources created by ROSA in AWS. Tags are comma separated, for example: 'key value, foo bar'.

Table 29. Arguments
Option Definition

--cluster

Required: The name or ID (string) of the cluster to edit on which the additional machine pool will be edited.

--enable-autoscaling

Enable or disable autoscaling of compute nodes. To enable autoscaling, use this argument with the --min-replicas and --max-replicas arguments. To disable autoscaling, use --enable-autoscaling=false with the --replicas argument.

--labels

The labels (string) for the machine pool. The format must be a comma-delimited list of key=value pairs. Editing this value only affects newly created nodes of the machine pool, which are created by increasing the node number, and does not affect the existing nodes. This list overwrites any modifications made to node labels on an ongoing basis.

--kubelet-configs <kubeletconfig_name>

For Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes (HCP) clusters, the names of any KubeletConfig objects to apply to nodes in a machine pool.

--max-replicas

Specifies the maximum number of compute nodes when enabling autoscaling.

--min-replicas

Specifies the minimum number of compute nodes when enabling autoscaling.

--max-surge

For Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes (HCP) clusters, the max-surge parameter defines the number of new nodes that can be provisioned in excess of the desired number of replicas for the machine pool, as configured using the --replicas parameter, or as determined by the autoscaler when autoscaling is enabled. This can be an absolute number (for example, 2) or a percentage of the machine pool size (for example, 20%), but must use the same unit as the max-unavailable parameter.

The default value is 1, meaning that the maximum number of nodes in the machine pool during an upgrade is 1 plus the desired number of replicas for the machine pool. In this situation, one excess node can be provisioned before existing nodes need to be made unavailable. The number of nodes that can be provisioned simultaneously during an upgrade is max-surge plus max-unavailable.

--max-unavailable

For Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes (HCP) clusters, the max-unavailable parameter defines the number of nodes that can be made unavailable in a machine pool during an upgrade, before new nodes are provisioned. This can be an absolute number (for example, 2) or a percentage of the current replica count in the machine pool (for example, 20%), but must use the same unit as the max-surge parameter.

The default value is 0, meaning that no outdated nodes are removed before new nodes are provisioned. The valid range for this value is from 0 to the current machine pool size, or from 0% to 100%. The total number of nodes that can be upgraded simultaneously during an upgrade is max-surge plus max-unavailable.

--node-drain-grace-period

Specifies the node drain grace period when upgrading or replacing the machine pool. (This is for ROSA with HCP clusters only.)

--replicas

Required when autoscaling is not configured. The number (integer) of machines for this machine pool.

--taints

Taints for the machine pool. This string value should be formatted as a comma-separated list of key=value:ScheduleType. Editing this value only affect newly created nodes of the machine pool, which are created by increasing the node number, and does not affect the existing nodes. This list overwrites any modifications made to Node taints on an ongoing basis.
