If you use a firewall, you must configure it so that OpenShift Container Platform can access the sites that it requires to function. You must always grant access to some sites, and you grant access to more if you use Red Hat Insights, the Telemetry service, a cloud to host your cluster, and certain build strategies.
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, you must configure your firewall to grant access to the sites that OpenShift Container Platform requires.
There are no special configuration considerations for services running on only controller nodes versus worker nodes.
Allowlist the following registry URLs:

You can use the wildcard *.quay.io
instead of cdn0[1-3].quay.io
in your allowlist. When you add a site, such as quay.io
, to your allowlist, do not add a wildcard entry, such as *.quay.io
, to your denylist. In most cases, image registries use a content delivery network (CDN) to serve images. If a firewall blocks access, image downloads are denied when the initial download request redirects to a hostname such as cdn01.quay.io
.
Allowlist any site that provides resources for a language or framework that your builds require.
If you do not disable Telemetry, you must grant access to the following URLs to access Red Hat Insights:

Operators require route access to perform health checks. Specifically, the
authentication and web console Operators connect to two routes to verify that
the routes work. If you are the cluster administrator and do not want to allow
*.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>
, then allow these routes:
oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>
console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>
, or the hostname
that is specified in the spec.route.hostname
field of the
consoles.operator/cluster
object if the field is not empty.
