In OKD version 4, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses infrastructure that you provide.
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 OKD. 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. |
You reviewed details about the OKD installation and update processes.
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the kube-system
namespace, you can manually create and maintain long-term credentials.
Be sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy. |
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.
Before you can install OKD, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it.
To install OKD, you must create a project in your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account to host the cluster.
Create a project to host your OKD 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 |
Your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project requires access to several API services to complete OKD installation.
You created a project to host your cluster.
Enable the following required API services in the project that hosts your cluster. You may also enable optional API services which are not required for installation. See Enabling services in the GCP documentation.

To install OKD, the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account you use must have a dedicated public hosted zone in the same project that you host the OKD 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.
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 as clusters.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.
The OKD cluster uses a number of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) components, but the default Quotas do not affect your ability to install a default OKD 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 OKD cluster.
OKD 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.
You created a project to host your cluster.
Create a service account in the project that you use to host your OKD 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 Owner
role 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. |
You can create the service account key in JSON format, or attach the service account to a GCP virtual machine. See Creating service account keys and Creating and enabling service accounts for instances in the GCP documentation.
If you use a virtual machine with an attached service account to create your cluster, you must set |
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 OKD. 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:
Compute Admin
Role Administrator
Security Admin
Service Account Admin
Service Account Key Admin
Service Account User
Storage Admin
DNS Administrator
Compute Load Balancer Admin
Deployment Manager Editor
The following roles are applied to the service accounts that the control plane and compute machines use:
Account | Roles |
---|---|
Control Plane |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compute |
|
|
|

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 OKD.
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 OKD cluster.

To install OKD on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using user-provisioned infrastructure, you must install and configure the CLI tools for GCP.
You created a project to host your cluster.
You created a service account and granted it the required permissions.
Install the following binaries in $PATH
:
gcloud
gsutil
See Install the latest Cloud SDK version in the GCP documentation.
Authenticate using the gcloud
tool with your configured service account.
See Authorizing with a service account in the GCP documentation.
For a cluster that contains user-provisioned infrastructure, you must deploy all of the required machines.
This section describes the requirements for deploying OKD on user-provisioned infrastructure.
The smallest OKD clusters require the following hosts:
Hosts | Description |
---|---|
One temporary bootstrap machine |
The cluster requires the bootstrap machine to deploy the OKD 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 OKD services that form the control plane. |
At least two compute machines, which are also known as worker machines. |
The workloads requested by OKD 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 Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) as the operating system. However, the compute machines can choose between Fedora CoreOS (FCOS), Fedora 8.6 and later.
Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements:
Machine | Operating System | vCPU [1] | Virtual RAM | Storage | Input/Output Per Second (IOPS)[2] |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bootstrap |
FCOS |
4 |
16 GB |
100 GB |
300 |
Control plane |
FCOS |
4 |
16 GB |
100 GB |
300 |
Compute |
FCOS |
2 |
8 GB |
100 GB |
300 |
One vCPU is equivalent to one physical core when simultaneous multithreading (SMT), or Hyper-Threading, is not enabled. When enabled, use the following formula to calculate the corresponding ratio: (threads per core × cores) × sockets = vCPUs.
OKD 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 Fedora 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 Fedora 7 compute machines is deprecated and has been removed in OKD 4.10 and later.
As of OKD version 4.13, RHCOS is based on RHEL version 9.2, which updates the micro-architecture requirements. The following list contains the minimum instruction set architectures (ISA) that each architecture requires:
For more information, see RHEL Architectures. |
If an instance type for your platform meets the minimum requirements for cluster machines, it is supported to use in OKD.
The following Google Cloud Platform instance types have been tested with OKD.

A3
C2

C3
C3D

Tau T2D
The following Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 64-bit ARM instance types have been tested with OKD.
Tau T2A
Using a custom machine type to install a OKD 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
.
To install OKD 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.
/var
partitionIt 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 manifest that is inserted during the openshift-install
preparation phases of an OKD installation.
If you follow the steps to create a separate |
Create a directory to hold the OKD installation files:
$ mkdir $HOME/clusterconfig
Run openshift-install
to create a set of files in the manifest
and openshift
subdirectories. Answer the system questions as you are prompted:
$ openshift-install create manifests --dir $HOME/clusterconfig
? 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/openshift
directory:
$ ls $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/
99_kubeadmin-password-secret.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-0.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-1.yaml
99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-2.yaml
...
Create a Butane config that configures the additional partition. For example, name the file $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu
, change the disk device name to the name of the storage device on the worker
systems, and set the storage size as appropriate. This example places the /var
directory on a separate partition:
variant: openshift
version: 4.0
metadata:
labels:
machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
name: 98-var-partition
storage:
disks:
- device: /dev/disk/by-id/<device_name> (1)
partitions:
- label: var
start_mib: <partition_start_offset> (2)
size_mib: <partition_size> (3)
number: 5
filesystems:
- device: /dev/disk/by-partlabel/var
path: /var
format: xfs
mount_options: [defaults, prjquota] (4)
with_mount_unit: true
1 | The storage device name of the disk that you want to partition. |
2 | When adding a data partition to the boot disk, a minimum value of 25000 MiB (Mebibytes) is recommended. The root file system is automatically resized to fill all available space up to the specified offset. If no value is specified, or if the specified value is smaller than the recommended minimum, the resulting root file system will be too small, and future reinstalls of FCOS might overwrite the beginning of the data partition. |
3 | The size of the data partition in mebibytes. |
4 | The prjquota mount option must be enabled for filesystems used for container storage. |
When creating a separate |
Create a manifest from the Butane config and save it to the clusterconfig/openshift
directory. For example, run the following command:
$ butane $HOME/clusterconfig/98-var-partition.bu -o $HOME/clusterconfig/openshift/98-var-partition.yaml
Run openshift-install
again to create Ignition configs from a set of files in the manifest
and openshift
subdirectories:
$ 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.
You can customize the OKD cluster you install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
You have the OKD installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
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. |
When specifying the directory:
Verify that the directory has the execute
permission. This permission is required to run Terraform binaries under the installation directory.
Use an empty directory. Some installation assets, such as bootstrap X.509 certificates, have short expiration intervals, therefore 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:

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.
You have an existing install-config.yaml
file.
You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the Proxy
object’s spec.noProxy
field to bypass the proxy if necessary.

2 | A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster. |
3 | A comma-separated list of destination domain names, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude from proxying. Preface a domain with . to match subdomains only. For example, .y.com matches x.y.com , but not y.com . Use * to bypass the proxy for all destinations. |
4 | If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in
the openshift-config namespace to hold the additional CA
certificates. If you provide additionalTrustBundle and at least one proxy setting, the Proxy object is configured to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The Cluster Network
Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges the contents specified for the trustedCA parameter
with the FCOS trust bundle. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless
the proxy’s identity certificate is signed by an authority from the FCOS trust
bundle. |
5 | Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the Proxy object to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The allowed values are Proxyonly and Always .

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.
|
You obtained the OKD installation program.
You created the install-config.yaml
installation configuration file.
Change to the directory that contains the OKD 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 the install-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 control plane machine set:
$ rm -f <installation_directory>/openshift/99_openshift-machine-api_master-control-plane-machine-set.yaml
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-*.yaml
If you disabled the |
Because you create and manage the worker machines yourself, you do not need to initialize these machines.
If you are installing a three-node cluster, skip the following step to allow the control plane nodes to be schedulable. |
When you configure control plane nodes from the default unschedulable to schedulable, additional subscriptions are required. This is because control plane nodes then become compute nodes. |
Check that the mastersSchedulable
parameter in the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
Kubernetes manifest file is set to false
. This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines:
Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml
file.
Locate the mastersSchedulable
parameter and ensure that it is set to false
.
Save and exit the file.
Optional: If you do not want
the Ingress Operator
to create DNS records on your behalf, remove the privateZone
and publicZone
sections from the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-dns-02-config.yml
DNS configuration file:
apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: DNS
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
name: cluster

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-password
and kubeconfig
files are created in the ./<installation_directory>/auth
directory:
. ├── auth │ ├── kubeadmin-password │ └── kubeconfig ├── bootstrap.ign ├── master.ign ├── metadata.json └── worker.ign
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 OKD installation. The provided Deployment Manager templates contain references to this infrastructure name, so you must extract it.
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.
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. |
openshift-vw9j6 (1)
1 | The output of this command is your cluster name and a random string. |
You must export a common set of variables that are used with the provided Deployment Manager templates used to assist in completing a user-provided infrastructure install on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Specific Deployment Manager templates can also require additional exported variables, which are detailed in their related procedures. |
Obtain the OKD installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
Generate the Ignition config files for your cluster.
Install the jq
package.
Export the following common variables to be used by the provided Deployment Manager templates:
$ export BASE_DOMAIN='<base_domain>'
$ export BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME='<base_domain_zone_name>'
$ export NETWORK_CIDR='10.0.0.0/16'

$ export INFRA_ID=`jq -r .infraID <installation_directory>/metadata.json`
$ export PROJECT_NAME=`jq -r .gcp.projectID <installation_directory>/metadata.json`
$ export REGION=`jq -r .gcp.region <installation_directory>/metadata.json`
1 | For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. |
You must create a VPC in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for your OKD cluster to use. You can customize the VPC to meet your requirements. One way to create the VPC 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. |
Configure a GCP account.

All the Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) machines require networking to be configured in initramfs
during boot
to fetch their Ignition config files.
On Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) 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.
You must configure the network connectivity between machines to allow OKD cluster components to communicate. Each machine must be able to resolve the hostnames of all other machines in the cluster.
This section provides details about the ports that are required.
In connected OKD environments, all nodes are required to have internet access to pull images for platform containers and provide telemetry data to Red Hat. |

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 OKD.
If you are installing a three-node cluster, skip this step. A three-node cluster consists of three control plane machines, which also act as compute machines. |
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.
If you do not use the provided Deployment Manager template to create your worker machines, 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. |

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. 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 |
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 |
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

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

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.
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.
Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the EXTERNAL-IP
field:
$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default
NAME 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}' routes
