Chapter 19. Installation configuration parameters for AWS
Chapter 19. Installation configuration parameters for AWS Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on AWS, you provide parameters to customize your cluster and the platform that hosts it. When you create the install-config.yaml file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. You can then modify the install-config.yaml file to customize your cluster further. 19.1. Available installation configuration parameters for AWS The following tables specify the required, optional, and AWS-specific installation configuration parameters that you can set as part of the installation process. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. 19.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.1. Required parameters Parameter Description Values The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installation program may also support older API versions. String The base domain of your cloud provider. The base domain is used to create routes to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster components. The full DNS name for your cluster is a combination of the baseDomain and metadata.name parameter values that uses the <metadata.name>.<baseDomain> format. A fully-qualified domain or subdomain name, such as example.com . Kubernetes resource ObjectMeta , from which only the name parameter is consumed. Object The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , powervs , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object Get a pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.1.2. Network configuration parameters You can customize your installation configuration based on the requirements of your existing network infrastructure. For example, you can expand the IP address block for the cluster network or provide different IP address blocks than the defaults. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Note Globalnet is not supported with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation disaster recovery solutions. For regional disaster recovery scenarios, ensure that you use a nonoverlapping range of private IP addresses for the cluster and service networks in each cluster. Table 19.2. Network parameters Parameter Description Values The configuration for the cluster network. Object Note You cannot modify parameters specified by the networking object after installation. The Red Hat OpenShift Networking network plugin to install. OVNKubernetes . OVNKubernetes is a CNI plugin for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers.

Supported values are 3 , or 1 when deploying single-node OpenShift. The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). [1] Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important To enable FIPS mode for your cluster, you must run the installation program from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) computer configured to operate in FIPS mode. For more information about configuring FIPS mode on RHEL, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . When running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) booted in FIPS mode, OpenShift Container Platform core components use the RHEL cryptographic libraries that have been submitted to NIST for FIPS 140-2/140-3 Validation on only the x86_64, ppc64le, and s390x architectures. Note If you are using Azure File storage, you cannot enable FIPS mode. false or true Sources and repositories for the release-image content. Array of objects. Includes a source and, optionally, mirrors , as described in the following rows of this table. Required if you use imageContentSources . Specify the repository that users refer to, for example, in image pull specifications. String Specify one or more repositories that may also contain the same images. Array of strings Required to set the NLB load balancer type in AWS. Valid values are Classic or NLB . If no value is specified, the installation program defaults to Classic . The installation program sets the value provided here in the ingress cluster configuration object. If you do not specify a load balancer type for other Ingress Controllers, they use the type set in this parameter. Classic or NLB . The default value is Classic . How to publish or expose the user-facing endpoints of your cluster, such as the Kubernetes API, OpenShift routes. Internal or External . To deploy a private cluster, which cannot be accessed from the internet, set publish to Internal . The default value is External . The SSH key to authenticate access to your cluster machines. Note For production OpenShift Container Platform clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your ssh-agent process uses. For example, sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA.. . Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information about CCO modes, see the "Managing cloud provider credentials" entry in the Authentication and authorization content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough , or Manual . Important Setting this parameter to Manual enables alternatives to storing administrator-level secrets in the kube-system project, which require additional configuration steps. For more information, see "Alternatives to storing administrator-level secrets in the kube-system project". 19.1.4.
