Kuryr is a deprecated feature. Deprecated functionality is still included in OpenShift Container Platform and continues to be supported; however, it will be removed in a future release of this product and is not recommended for new deployments. For the most recent list of major functionality that has been deprecated or removed within OpenShift Container Platform, refer to the Deprecated and removed features section of the OpenShift Container Platform release notes. |
In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.12, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that runs on user-provisioned infrastructure.
Using your own infrastructure allows you to integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. The process requires more labor on your part than installer-provisioned installations, because you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. However, Red Hat provides Ansible playbooks to help you in the deployment process.
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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix.
-
You have an RHOSP account where you want to install OpenShift Container Platform.
-
You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended practices for scaling the cluster.
-
On the machine from which you run the installation program, you have:
-
A single directory in which you can keep the files you create during the installation process
-

Kuryr is a deprecated feature. Deprecated functionality is still included in OpenShift Container Platform and continues to be supported; however, it will be removed in a future release of this product and is not recommended for new deployments. For the most recent list of major functionality that has been deprecated or removed within OpenShift Container Platform, refer to the Deprecated and removed features section of the OpenShift Container Platform release notes. |
Kuryr is a container network interface (CNI) plugin solution that uses the Neutron and Octavia Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) services to provide networking for pods and Services.
Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances.
Kuryr components are installed as pods in OpenShift Container Platform using the
openshift-kuryr namespace:
-
kuryr-controller- a single service instance installed on amasternode. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDeploymentobject. -
kuryr-cni- a container installing and configuring Kuryr as a CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as aDaemonSetobject.
The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift Container Platform API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OpenShift Container Platform API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OpenShift Container Platform via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN) as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs.
Kuryr is recommended for OpenShift Container Platform deployments on encapsulated RHOSP tenant networks to avoid double encapsulation, such as running an encapsulated OpenShift Container Platform SDN over an RHOSP network.
If you use provider networks or tenant VLANs, you do not need to use Kuryr to avoid double encapsulation. The performance benefit is negligible. Depending on your configuration, though, using Kuryr to avoid having two overlays might still be beneficial.
Kuryr is not recommended in deployments where all of the following criteria are true:
-
The RHOSP version is less than 16.
-
The deployment uses UDP services, or a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
or
-
The
ovn-octaviaOctavia driver is disabled. -
The deployment uses a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors.
Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP with Kuryr
When using Kuryr SDN, the pods, services, namespaces, and network policies are using resources from the RHOSP quota; this increases the minimum requirements. Kuryr also has some additional requirements on top of what a default install requires.
Use the following quota to satisfy a default cluster’s minimum requirements:
| Resource | Value |
|---|---|
Floating IP addresses |
3 - plus the expected number of Services of LoadBalancer type |
Ports |
1500 - 1 needed per Pod |
Routers |
1 |
Subnets |
250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
Networks |
250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project |
RAM |
112 GB |
vCPUs |
28 |
Volume storage |
275 GB |
Instances |
7 |
Security groups |
250 - 1 needed per Service and per NetworkPolicy |
Security group rules |
1000 |
Server groups |
2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool |
Load balancers |
100 - 1 needed per Service |
Load balancer listeners |
500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
Load balancer pools |
500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port |
A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed.
|
If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the |
|
If you are using Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) version 16 with the Amphora driver rather than the OVN Octavia driver, security groups are associated with service accounts instead of user projects. |
Take the following notes into consideration when setting resources:
-
The number of ports that are required is larger than the number of pods. Kuryr uses ports pools to have pre-created ports ready to be used by pods and speed up the pods' booting time.
-
each network policy is mapped into an RHOSP security group, and depending on the
NetworkPolicyspec, one or more rules are added to the security group. -
each service is mapped to an RHOSP load balancer. Consider this requirement when estimating the number of security groups required for the quota.
If you are using RHOSP version 15 or earlier, or the
ovn-octavia driver, each load balancer has a security group with the user project. -
The quota does not account for load balancer resources (such as VM resources), but you must consider these resources when you decide the RHOSP deployment’s size. The default installation will have more than 50 load balancers; the clusters must be able to accommodate them.
If you are using RHOSP version 16 with the OVN Octavia driver enabled, only one load balancer VM is generated; services are load balanced through OVN flows.
An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine.
To enable Kuryr SDN, your environment must meet the following requirements:
-
Run RHOSP 13+.
-
Have Overcloud with Octavia.
-
Use Neutron Trunk ports extension.
-
Use
openvswitchfirewall driver if ML2/OVS Neutron driver is used instead ofovs-hybrid.
Increasing quota
When using Kuryr SDN, you must increase quotas to satisfy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) resources used by pods, services, namespaces, and network policies.
Procedure
-
Increase the quotas for a project by running the following command:
Configuring Neutron
Kuryr CNI leverages the Neutron Trunks extension to plug containers into the
Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SDN, so you must use the trunks extension for Kuryr to properly work.
In addition, if you leverage the default ML2/OVS Neutron driver, the firewall
must be set to openvswitch instead of ovs_hybrid so that security groups are
enforced on trunk subports and Kuryr can properly handle network policies.
Configuring Octavia
Kuryr SDN uses Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)'s Octavia LBaaS to implement OpenShift Container Platform services. Thus, you must install and configure Octavia components in RHOSP to use Kuryr SDN.
To enable Octavia, you must include the Octavia service during the installation of the RHOSP Overcloud, or upgrade the Octavia service if the Overcloud already exists. The following steps for enabling Octavia apply to both a clean install of the Overcloud or an Overcloud update.
|
The following steps only capture the key pieces required during the deployment of RHOSP when dealing with Octavia. It is also important to note that registry methods vary. This example uses the local registry method. |
Procedure
-
If you are using the local registry, create a template to upload the images to the registry. For example:
(undercloud) $ openstack overcloud container image prepare \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ --namespace=registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13 \ --push-destination=<local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 \ --prefix=openstack- \ --tag-from-label {version}-{product-version} \ --output-env-file=/home/stack/templates/overcloud_images.yaml \ --output-images-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml -
Verify that the
local_registry_images.yamlfile contains the Octavia images. For example:... - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-api:13.0-43 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-health-manager:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-housekeeping:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-worker:13.0-44 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787The Octavia container versions vary depending upon the specific RHOSP release installed.
-
Pull the container images from
registry.redhat.ioto the Undercloud node:(undercloud) $ sudo openstack overcloud container image upload \ --config-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml \ --verboseThis may take some time depending on the speed of your network and Undercloud disk.
-
Install or update your Overcloud environment with Octavia:
$ openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ -e octavia_timeouts.yamlThis command only includes the files associated with Octavia; it varies based on your specific installation of RHOSP. See the RHOSP documentation for further information. For more information on customizing your Octavia installation, see installation of Octavia using Director.
When leveraging Kuryr SDN, the Overcloud installation requires the Neutron
trunkextension. This is available by default on director deployments. Use theopenvswitchfirewall instead of the defaultovs-hybridwhen the Neutron backend is ML2/OVS. There is no need for modifications if the backend is ML2/OVN.
The Octavia OVN Driver
Octavia supports multiple provider drivers through the Octavia API.
To see all available Octavia provider drivers, on a command line, enter:
$ openstack loadbalancer provider listexample output
+---------+-------------------------------------------------+
| name | description |
+---------+-------------------------------------------------+
| amphora | The Octavia Amphora driver. |
| octavia | Deprecated alias of the Octavia Amphora driver. |
| ovn | Octavia OVN driver. |
+---------+-------------------------------------------------+Beginning with RHOSP version 16, the Octavia OVN provider driver (ovn) is supported on
OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP deployments.
ovn is an integration driver for the load balancing
that Octavia and OVN provide. It supports basic load balancing capabilities,
and is based on OpenFlow rules. The driver is automatically enabled
in Octavia by Director on deployments that use OVN Neutron ML2.
The Amphora provider driver is the default driver. If ovn is enabled, however, Kuryr uses it.
If Kuryr uses ovn instead of Amphora, it offers the following benefits:
-
Decreased resource requirements. Kuryr does not require a load balancer VM for each service.
-
Reduced network latency.
-
Increased service creation speed by using OpenFlow rules instead of a VM for each service.
-
Distributed load balancing actions across all nodes instead of centralized on Amphora VMs.
Known limitations of installing with Kuryr
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several known limitations.
RHOSP general limitations
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that apply to all versions and environments:
-
Serviceobjects with theNodePorttype are not supported. -
Clusters that use the OVN Octavia provider driver support
Serviceobjects for which the.spec.selectorproperty is unspecified only if the.subsets.addressesproperty of theendpointsobject includes the subnet of the nodes or pods. -
If the subnet on which machines are created is not connected to a router, or if the subnet is connected, but the router has no external gateway set, Kuryr cannot create floating IPs for
Serviceobjects with typeLoadBalancer. -
Configuring the
sessionAffinity=ClientIPproperty onServiceobjects does not have an effect. Kuryr does not support this setting.
RHOSP version limitations
Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that depend on the RHOSP version.
-
RHOSP versions before 16 use the default Octavia load balancer driver (Amphora). This driver requires that one Amphora load balancer VM is deployed per OpenShift Container Platform service. Creating too many services can cause you to run out of resources.
Deployments of later versions of RHOSP that have the OVN Octavia driver disabled also use the Amphora driver. They are subject to the same resource concerns as earlier versions of RHOSP.
-
Kuryr SDN does not support automatic unidling by a service.
RHOSP upgrade limitations
As a result of the RHOSP upgrade process, the Octavia API might be changed, and upgrades to the Amphora images that are used for load balancers might be required.
You can address API changes on an individual basis.
If the Amphora image is upgraded, the RHOSP operator can handle existing load balancer VMs in two ways:
-
Upgrade each VM by triggering a load balancer failover.
-
Leave responsibility for upgrading the VMs to users.
If the operator takes the first option, there might be short downtimes during failovers.
If the operator takes the second option, the existing load balancers will not support upgraded Octavia API features, like UDP listeners. In this case, users must recreate their Services to use these features.
Control plane machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines.
each machine requires:
-
An instance from the RHOSP quota
-
A port from the RHOSP quota
-
A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs
-
At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota
Compute machines
By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines.
each machine requires:
-
An instance from the RHOSP quota
-
A port from the RHOSP quota
-
A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs
-
At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota
|
Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. |
Bootstrap machine
During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned.
The bootstrap machine requires:
-
An instance from the RHOSP quota
-
A port from the RHOSP quota
-
A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs
-
At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota
Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, you require access to the internet to install your cluster.
You must have internet access to:
-
Access OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console 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. |
Downloading playbook dependencies
The Ansible playbooks that simplify the installation process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the installer, add the modules' repositories and then download them.
| These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat enterprise Linux (RHeL) 8. |
Prerequisites
-
Python 3 is installed on your machine.
Procedure
-
On a command line, add the repositories:
-
Register with Red Hat Subscription Manager:
$ sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already -
Pull the latest subscription data:
$ sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=$YOUR_POOLID # If not done already -
Disable the current repositories:
$ sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already -
Add the required repositories:
$ sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
-
-
Install the modules:
$ sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk python3-netaddr ansible-collections-openstack -
ensure that the
pythoncommand points topython3:$ sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3
Downloading the installation playbooks
Download Ansible playbooks that you can use to install OpenShift Container Platform on your own Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) infrastructure.
Prerequisites
-
The curl command-line tool is available on your machine.
Procedure
-
To download the playbooks to your working directory, run the following script from a command line:
$ xargs -n 1 curl -O <<< ' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/common.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/inventory.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-load-balancers.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.12/upi/openstack/down-containers.yaml'
The playbooks are downloaded to your machine.
|
During the installation process, you can modify the playbooks to configure your deployment. Retain all playbooks for the life of your cluster. You must have the playbooks to remove your OpenShift Container Platform cluster from RHOSP. |
|
You must match any edits you make in the |
Obtaining the installation program
Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on the host you are using for installation.
Prerequisites
-
You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space.
Procedure
-
Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account.
-
Select your infrastructure provider.
-
Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program that corresponds with your host operating system and architecture, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files.
The installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster. Both files are required to delete the cluster.
Deleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. To remove your cluster, complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures for your specific cloud provider.
-
extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz -
Download your installation pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager. This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components.
Generating a key pair for cluster node SSH access
During an OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can provide an SSH public key to the installation program. The key is passed to the Red Hat enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) nodes through their Ignition config files and is used to authenticate SSH access to the nodes. The key is added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys list for the core user on each node, which enables password-less authentication.
After the key is passed to the nodes, you can use the key pair to SSH in to the RHCOS nodes as the user core. To access the nodes through SSH, the private key identity must be managed by SSH for your local user.
If you want to SSH in to your cluster nodes to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide the SSH public key during the installation process. The ./openshift-install gather command also requires the SSH public key to be in place on the cluster nodes.
|
Do not skip this procedure in production environments, where disaster recovery and debugging is required. |
|
You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs. |
Procedure
-
If you do not have an existing SSH key pair on your local machine to use for authentication onto your cluster nodes, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path>/<file_name> (1)1 Specify the path and file name, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your~/.sshdirectory.If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the
x86_64,ppc64le, ands390xarchitectures. do not create a key that uses theed25519algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses thersaorecdsaalgorithm. -
View the public SSH key:
$ cat <path>/<file_name>.pubFor example, run the following to view the
~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pubpublic key:$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub -
Add the SSH private key identity to the SSH agent for your local user, if it has not already been added. SSH agent management of the key is required for password-less SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes, or if you want to use the
./openshift-install gathercommand.On some distributions, default SSH private key identities such as
~/.ssh/id_rsaand~/.ssh/id_dsaare managed automatically.-
If the
ssh-agentprocess is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task:$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"example outputAgent pid 31874If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or eCDSA.
-
-
Add your SSH private key to the
ssh-agent:$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> (1)1 Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519example outputIdentity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
Next steps
-
When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program.
Creating the Red Hat enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program requires that a Red Hat enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image be present in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) cluster. Retrieve the latest RHCOS image, then upload it using the RHOSP CLI.
Prerequisites
-
The RHOSP CLI is installed.
Procedure
-
Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal’s Product Downloads page.
-
Under Version, select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 for Red Hat enterprise Linux (RHeL) 8.
The RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available.
-
Download the Red Hat enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) - OpenStack Image (QCOW).
-
Decompress the image.
You must decompress the RHOSP image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like
.gzor.tgz. To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter:$ file <name_of_downloaded_file> -
From the image that you downloaded, create an image that is named
rhcosin your cluster by using the RHOSP CLI:$ openstack image create --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2 --file rhcos-${RHCOS_VeRSION}-openstack.qcow2 rhcosDepending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either .rawor.qcow2formats. If you use Ceph, you must use the.rawformat.If the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP.
After you upload the image to RHOSP, it is usable in the installation process.
Verifying external network access
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
Procedure
-
Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'external' network:
$ openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type"example output+--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | external | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+
A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network.
|
If the Neutron trunk service plugin is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port. |
enabling access to the environment
At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments.
You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally.
enabling access with floating IP addresses
Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, cluster applications, and the bootstrap process.
Procedure
-
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> -
Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> -
By using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the bootstrap FIP:
$ openstack floating ip create --description "bootstrap machine" <external_network> -
Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs:
api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP>If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your
/etc/hostsfile:-
<api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> -
<application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> -
<application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> -
<application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> -
<application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> -
application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>
The cluster domain names in the
/etc/hostsfile grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use thekubectloroc. You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. -
-
Add the FIPs to the
inventory.yamlfile as the values of the following variables:-
os_api_fip -
os_bootstrap_fip -
os_ingress_fip
-
If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the
os_external_network variable in the inventory.yaml file.
|
You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. |
Completing installation without floating IP addresses
You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses.
In the
inventory.yaml
file, do not define the following
variables:
-
os_api_fip -
os_bootstrap_fip -
os_ingress_fip
If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave os_external_network blank. If you do not provide a value for os_external_network, a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. Later in the installation process, when you create network resources, you must configure external connectivity on your own.
If you run the installer
with the wait-for command
from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines.
|
You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your |
Defining parameters for the installation program
The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml. The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs.
Procedure
-
Create the
clouds.yamlfile:-
If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a
clouds.yamlfile in it.Remember to add a password to the
authfield. You can also keep secrets in a separate file fromclouds.yaml. -
If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about
clouds.yaml, see Config files in the RHOSP documentation.clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0'
-
-
If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication:
-
Copy the certificate authority file to your machine.
-
Add the
cacertskey to theclouds.yamlfile. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate:clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem"After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the
ca-cert.pemkey in thecloud-provider-configkeymap. On a command line, run:$ oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config
-
-
Place the
clouds.yamlfile in one of the following locations:-
The value of the
OS_CLIeNT_CONFIG_FILeenvironment variable -
The current directory
-
A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example
~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml -
A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example
/etc/openstack/clouds.yamlThe installation program searches for
clouds.yamlin that order.
-
Creating the installation configuration file
You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP).
Prerequisites
-
Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster.
-
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.When specifying the directory:
-
Verify that the directory has the
executepermission. 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 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. -
Select openstack as the platform to target.
-
Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster.
-
Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API.
-
Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes.
-
Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name.
-
enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long.
-
Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager.
-
-
-
Modify the
install-config.yamlfile. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. -
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.
You now have the file install-config.yaml in the directory that you specified.
Installation configuration parameters
Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster’s platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform.
|
After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the |

A UUID as a string. For example, |
Custom subnets in RHOSP deployments
Optionally, you can deploy a cluster on a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) subnet of your choice. The subnet’s GUID is passed as the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet in the install-config.yaml file.
This subnet is used as the cluster’s primary subnet. By default, nodes and ports are created on it. You can create nodes and ports on a different RHOSP subnet by setting the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the subnet’s UUID.
Before you run the OpenShift Container Platform installer with a custom subnet, verify that your configuration meets the following requirements:
-
The subnet that is used by
platform.openstack.machinesSubnethas DHCP enabled. -
The CIDR of
platform.openstack.machinesSubnetmatches the CIDR ofnetworking.machineNetwork. -
The installation program user has permission to create ports on this network, including ports with fixed IP addresses.
Clusters that use custom subnets have the following limitations:
-
If you plan to install a cluster that uses floating IP addresses, the
platform.openstack.machinesSubnetsubnet must be attached to a router that is connected to theexternalNetworknetwork. -
If the
platform.openstack.machinesSubnetvalue is set in theinstall-config.yamlfile, the installation program does not create a private network or subnet for your RHOSP machines. -
You cannot use the
platform.openstack.externalDNSproperty at the same time as a custom subnet. To add DNS to a cluster that uses a custom subnet, configure DNS on the RHOSP network.

Cluster deployment on RHOSP provider networks
You can deploy your OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with a primary network interface on a provider network. Provider networks are commonly used to give projects direct access to a public network that can be used to reach the internet. You can also share provider networks among projects as part of the network creation process.
RHOSP provider networks map directly to an existing physical network in the data center. A RHOSP administrator must create them.
In the following example, OpenShift Container Platform workloads are connected to a data center by using a provider network:
OpenShift Container Platform clusters that are installed on provider networks do not require tenant networks or floating IP addresses. The installer does not create these resources during installation.
example provider network types include flat (untagged) and VLAN (802.1Q tagged).
|
A cluster can support as many provider network connections as the network type allows. For example, VLAN networks typically support up to 4096 connections. |
You can learn more about provider and tenant networks in the RHOSP documentation.
RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation
Before you install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment and provider network must meet a number of conditions:
-
The RHOSP networking service (Neutron) is enabled and accessible through the RHOSP networking API.
-
The RHOSP networking service has the port security and allowed address pairs extensions enabled.
-
The provider network can be shared with other tenants.
Use the
openstack network createcommand with the--shareflag to create a network that can be shared. -
The RHOSP project that you use to install the cluster must own the provider network, as well as an appropriate subnet.
- To create a network for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command
$ openstack network create --project openshift- To create a subnet for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command
$ openstack subnet create --project openshiftTo learn more about creating networks on RHOSP, read the provider networks documentation.
If the cluster is owned by the
adminuser, you must run the installer as that user to create ports on the network.Provider networks must be owned by the RHOSP project that is used to create the cluster. If they are not, the RHOSP Compute service (Nova) cannot request a port from that network.
-
Verify that the provider network can reach the RHOSP metadata service IP address, which is
169.254.169.254by default.Depending on your RHOSP SDN and networking service configuration, you might need to provide the route when you create the subnet. For example:
$ openstack subnet create --dhcp --host-route destination=169.254.169.254/32,gateway=192.0.2.2 ... -
Optional: To secure the network, create role-based access control (RBAC) rules that limit network access to a single project.
Deploying a cluster that has a primary interface on a provider network
You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that has its primary network interface on an Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) provider network.
Prerequisites
-
Your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment is configured as described by "RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation".
Procedure
-
In a text editor, open the
install-config.yamlfile. -
Set the value of the
platform.openstack.apiVIPsproperty to the IP address for the API VIP. -
Set the value of the
platform.openstack.ingressVIPsproperty to the IP address for the Ingress VIP. -
Set the value of the
platform.openstack.machinesSubnetproperty to the UUID of the provider network subnet. -
Set the value of the
networking.machineNetwork.cidrproperty to the CIDR block of the provider network subnet.

Kuryr ports pools
A Kuryr ports pool maintains a number of ports on standby for pod creation.
Keeping ports on standby minimizes pod creation time. Without ports pools, Kuryr must explicitly request port creation or deletion whenever a pod is created or deleted.
The Neutron ports that Kuryr uses are created in subnets that are tied to namespaces. These pod ports are also added as subports to the primary port of OpenShift Container Platform cluster nodes.
Because Kuryr keeps each namespace in a separate subnet, a separate ports pool is maintained for each namespace-worker pair.
Prior to installing a cluster, you can set the following parameters in the cluster-network-03-config.yml manifest file to configure ports pool behavior:
-
The
enablePortPoolsPrepopulationparameter controls pool prepopulation, which forces Kuryr to add Neutron ports to the pools when the first pod that is configured to use the dedicated network for pods is created in a namespace. The default value isfalse. -
The
poolMinPortsparameter is the minimum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. The default value is1. -
The
poolMaxPortsparameter is the maximum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. A value of0disables that upper bound. This is the default setting.If your OpenStack port quota is low, or you have a limited number of IP addresses on the pod network, consider setting this option to ensure that unneeded ports are deleted.
-
The
poolBatchPortsparameter defines the maximum number of Neutron ports that can be created at once. The default value is3.
Adjusting Kuryr ports pools during installation
During installation, you can configure how Kuryr manages Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) Neutron ports to control the speed and efficiency of pod creation.
Prerequisites
-
Create and modify the
install-config.yamlfile.
Procedure
-
From a command line, create the manifest files:
$ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> (1)1 For <installation_directory>, specify the name of the directory that contains theinstall-config.yamlfile for your cluster. -
Create a file that is named
cluster-network-03-config.ymlin the<installation_directory>/manifests/directory:$ touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml (1)1 For <installation_directory>, specify the directory name that contains themanifests/directory for your cluster.After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the
manifests/directory, as shown:$ ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-*example outputcluster-network-01-crd.yml cluster-network-02-config.yml cluster-network-03-config.yml -
Open the
cluster-network-03-config.ymlfile in an editor, and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Cluster Network Operator configuration that you want:$ oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster -
edit the settings to meet your requirements. The following file is provided as an example:
apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 defaultNetwork: type: Kuryr kuryrConfig: enablePortPoolsPrepopulation: false (1) poolMinPorts: 1 (2) poolBatchPorts: 3 (3) poolMaxPorts: 5 (4) openstackServiceNetwork: 172.30.0.0/15 (5)1 Set enablePortPoolsPrepopulationtotrueto make Kuryr create new Neutron ports when the first pod on the network for pods is created in a namespace. This setting raises the Neutron ports quota but can reduce the time that is required to spawn pods. The default value isfalse.2 Kuryr creates new ports for a pool if the number of free ports in that pool is lower than the value of poolMinPorts. The default value is1.3 poolBatchPortscontrols the number of new ports that are created if the number of free ports is lower than the value ofpoolMinPorts. The default value is3.4 If the number of free ports in a pool is higher than the value of poolMaxPorts, Kuryr deletes them until the number matches that value. Setting this value to0disables this upper bound, preventing pools from shrinking. The default value is0.5 The openStackServiceNetworkparameter defines the CIDR range of the network from which IP addresses are allocated to RHOSP Octavia’s LoadBalancers.If this parameter is used with the Amphora driver, Octavia takes two IP addresses from this network for each load balancer: one for OpenShift and the other for VRRP connections. Because these IP addresses are managed by OpenShift Container Platform and Neutron respectively, they must come from different pools. Therefore, the value of
openStackServiceNetworkmust be at least twice the size of the value ofserviceNetwork, and the value ofserviceNetworkmust overlap entirely with the range that is defined byopenStackServiceNetwork.The CNO verifies that VRRP IP addresses that are taken from the range that is defined by this parameter do not overlap with the range that is defined by the
serviceNetworkparameter.If this parameter is not set, the CNO uses an expanded value of
serviceNetworkthat is determined by decrementing the prefix size by 1. -
Save the
cluster-network-03-config.ymlfile, and exit the text editor. -
Optional: Back up the
manifests/cluster-network-03-config.ymlfile. The installation program deletes themanifests/directory while creating the cluster.
Setting a custom subnet for machines
The IP range that the installation program uses by default might not match the Neutron subnet that you create when you install OpenShift Container Platform. If necessary, update the CIDR value for new machines by editing the installation configuration file.

install-config.yamlfile that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml. -
From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yamlfile or update the file manually:-
To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["machineNetwork"] = [{"cidr": "192.168.0.0/18"}]; (1) open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))'1 Insert a value that matches your intended Neutron subnet, e.g. 192.0.2.0/24. -
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
networking.machineCIDRto something that matches your intended Neutron subnet.
-
emptying compute machine pools
To proceed with an installation that uses your own infrastructure, set the number of compute machines in the installation configuration file to zero. Later, you create these machines manually.
Prerequisites
-
You have the
install-config.yamlfile that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
Procedure
-
On a command line, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml. -
From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yamlfile or update the file manually:-
To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["compute"][0]["replicas"] = 0; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' -
To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of
compute.<first entry>.replicasto0.
-
Modifying the network type
By default, the installation program selects the OpenShiftSDN network type. To use Kuryr instead, change the value in the installation configuration file that the program generated.
Prerequisites
-
You have the file
install-config.yamlthat was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program
Procedure
-
In a command prompt, browse to the directory that contains
install-config.yaml. -
From that directory, either run a script to edit the
install-config.yamlfile or update the file manually:-
To set the value by using a script, run:
$ python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["networkType"] = "Kuryr"; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' -
To set the value manually, open the file and set
networking.networkTypeto"Kuryr".

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.
-
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 and compute machine sets:
$ rm -f openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yamlBecause you create and manage these resources yourself, you do not have to initialize them.
-
You can preserve the compute machine set files to create compute machines by using the machine API, but you must update references to them to match your environment.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
export the metadata file’s
infraIDkey as an environment variable:$ export INFRA_ID=$(jq -r .infraID metadata.json)
extract the infraID key from metadata.json and use it as a prefix for all of the RHOSP resources that you create. By doing so, you avoid name conflicts when making multiple deployments in the same project.
|
Preparing the bootstrap Ignition files
The OpenShift Container Platform installation process relies on bootstrap machines that are created from a bootstrap Ignition configuration file.
edit the file and upload it. Then, create a secondary bootstrap Ignition configuration file that Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses to download the primary file.
Prerequisites
-
You have the bootstrap Ignition file that the installer program generates,
bootstrap.ign. -
The infrastructure ID from the installer’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID).-
If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files.
-
-
You have an HTTP(S)-accessible way to store the bootstrap Ignition file.
-
The documented procedure uses the RHOSP image service (Glance), but you can also use the RHOSP storage service (Swift), Amazon S3, an internal HTTP server, or an ad hoc Nova server.
-
Procedure
-
Run the following Python script. The script modifies the bootstrap Ignition file to set the hostname and, if available, CA certificate file when it runs:
import base64 import json import os with open('bootstrap.ign', 'r') as f: ignition = json.load(f) files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []) infra_id = os.environ.get('INFRA_ID', 'openshift').encode() hostname_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(infra_id + b'-bootstrap\n').decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + hostname_b64 } }) ca_cert_path = os.environ.get('OS_CACeRT', '') if ca_cert_path: with open(ca_cert_path, 'r') as f: ca_cert = f.read().encode() ca_cert_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(ca_cert).decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/opt/openshift/tls/cloud-ca-cert.pem', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + ca_cert_b64 } }) ignition['storage']['files'] = files; with open('bootstrap.ign', 'w') as f: json.dump(ignition, f) -
Using the RHOSP CLI, create an image that uses the bootstrap Ignition file:
$ openstack image create --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --file bootstrap.ign <image_name> -
Get the image’s details:
$ openstack image show <image_name>Make a note of the
filevalue; it follows the patternv2/images/<image_ID>/file.Verify that the image you created is active. -
Retrieve the image service’s public address:
$ openstack catalog show image -
Combine the public address with the image
filevalue and save the result as the storage location. The location follows the pattern<image_service_public_URL>/v2/images/<image_ID>/file. -
Generate an auth token and save the token ID:
$ openstack token issue -c id -f value -
Insert the following content into a file called
$INFRA_ID-bootstrap-ignition.jsonand edit the placeholders to match your own values:{ "ignition": { "config": { "merge": [{ "source": "<storage_url>", (1) "httpHeaders": [{ "name": "X-Auth-Token", (2) "value": "<token_ID>" (3) }] }] }, "security": { "tls": { "certificateAuthorities": [{ "source": "data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,<base64_encoded_certificate>" (4) }] } }, "version": "3.2.0" } }1 Replace the value of ignition.config.merge.sourcewith the bootstrap Ignition file storage URL.2 Set nameinhttpHeadersto"X-Auth-Token".3 Set valueinhttpHeadersto your token’s ID.4 If the bootstrap Ignition file server uses a self-signed certificate, include the base64-encoded certificate. -
Save the secondary Ignition config file.
The bootstrap Ignition data will be passed to RHOSP during installation.
The bootstrap Ignition file contains sensitive information, like clouds.yaml credentials. ensure that you store it in a secure place, and delete it after you complete the installation process.
|
Creating control plane Ignition config files on RHOSP
Installing OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on your own infrastructure requires control plane Ignition config files. You must create multiple config files.
| As with the bootstrap Ignition configuration, you must explicitly define a hostname for each control plane machine. |
Prerequisites
-
The infrastructure ID from the installation program’s metadata file is set as an environment variable (
$INFRA_ID).-
If the variable is not set, see "Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files".
-
Procedure
-
On a command line, run the following Python script:
$ for index in $(seq 0 2); do MASTeR_HOSTNAMe="$INFRA_ID-master-$index\n" python -c "import base64, json, sys; ignition = json.load(sys.stdin); storage = ignition.get('storage', {}); files = storage.get('files', []); files.append({'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': {'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64.standard_b64encode(b'$MASTeR_HOSTNAMe').decode().strip(), 'verification': {}}, 'filesystem': 'root'}); storage['files'] = files; ignition['storage'] = storage json.dump(ignition, sys.stdout)" <master.ign >"$INFRA_ID-master-$index-ignition.json" doneYou now have three control plane Ignition files:
<INFRA_ID>-master-0-ignition.json,<INFRA_ID>-master-1-ignition.json, and<INFRA_ID>-master-2-ignition.json.
Creating network resources on RHOSP
Create the network resources that an OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) installation on your own infrastructure requires. To save time, run supplied Ansible playbooks that generate security groups, networks, subnets, routers, and ports.
Prerequisites
-
Python 3 is installed on your machine.
-
You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies".
-
You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks".
Procedure
-
Optional: Add an external network value to the
inventory.yamlplaybook:example external network value in theinventory.yamlAnsible playbook... # The public network providing connectivity to the cluster. If not # provided, the cluster external connectivity must be provided in another # way. # Required for os_api_fip, os_ingress_fip, os_bootstrap_fip. os_external_network: 'external' ...If you did not provide a value for
os_external_networkin theinventory.yamlfile, you must ensure that VMs can access Glance and an external connection yourself. -
Optional: Add external network and floating IP (FIP) address values to the
inventory.yamlplaybook:example FIP values in theinventory.yamlAnsible playbook... # OpenShift API floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the Control Plane to # serve the OpenShift API. os_api_fip: '203.0.113.23' # OpenShift Ingress floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the worker nodes to serve # the applications. os_ingress_fip: '203.0.113.19' # If this value is non-empty, the corresponding floating IP will be # attached to the bootstrap machine. This is needed for collecting logs # in case of install failure. os_bootstrap_fip: '203.0.113.20'If you do not define values for
os_api_fipandos_ingress_fip, you must perform postinstallation network configuration.If you do not define a value for
os_bootstrap_fip, the installer cannot download debugging information from failed installations.See "enabling access to the environment" for more information.
-
On a command line, create security groups by running the
security-groups.yamlplaybook:$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml security-groups.yaml -
On a command line, create a network, subnet, and router by running the
network.yamlplaybook:$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml network.yaml -
Optional: If you want to control the default resolvers that Nova servers use, run the RHOSP CLI command:

Next steps
-
Approve the certificate signing requests for the machines.
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 v1.25.0 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.25.0 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.25.0The 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 v1.25.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.25.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.25.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.25.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.25.0It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the
Readystatus.
Additional information
-
For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests.
Verifying a successful installation
Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform installation is complete.
Prerequisites
-
You have the installation program (
openshift-install)
Procedure
-
On a command line, enter:
$ openshift-install --log-level debug wait-for install-complete
The program outputs the console URL, as well as the administrator’s login information.
Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform
In OpenShift Container Platform 4.12, 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 Hybrid Cloud Console.
After you confirm that your OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console 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.
Additional resources
-
See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service
Next steps
-
If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting.
-
If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port.
-
If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses.
