AWS Setup Instructions

Get AWS API credentials

1. AWS credentials documentation

Create a credentials file

1. Create a credentials file (eg ~/.aws_creds) that looks something like this (variables must have have these exact names). export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AKIASTUFF' export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='STUFF'
2. source this file source ~/.aws_creds Note: You must source this file before running any Ansible commands.

Alternatively, you could configure credentials in either ~/.boto or ~/.aws/credentials, see the boto docs for the format.

Subscribe to CentOS

1. CentOS on AWS

Set up Security Group

By default, a cluster is launched into the public security group. Make sure you allow hosts to talk to each other on port 4789 for SDN. You may also want to allow access from the outside world on the following ports:

• 22    - ssh
• 80    - Web Apps
• 443   - Web Apps (https)
• 4789  - SDN / VXLAN
• 8443  - OpenShift Console
• 10250 - kubelet

(Optional) Setup your $HOME/.ssh/config file

In case of a cluster creation, or any other case where you don't know the machine hostname in advance, you can use .ssh/config to setup a private key file to allow ansible to connect to the created hosts.

To do so, add the the following entry to your $HOME/.ssh/config file and make it point to the private key file which allows you to login on AWS.

Host *.compute-1.amazonaws.com
  PrivateKey $HOME/.ssh/my_private_key.pem

Alternatively, you can configure your ssh-agent to hold the credentials to connect to your AWS instances.

(Optional) Choose where the cluster will be launched

By default, a cluster is launched with the following configuration:

• Instance type: m4.large
• AMI: ami-307b3658 (for online deployments, ami-acd999c4 for origin deployments and ami-10663b78 for enterprise deployments)
• Region: us-east-1
• Keypair name: libra
• Security group: public

Master specific defaults:

• Master root volume size: 10 (in GiBs)
• Master root volume type: gp2
• Master root volume iops: 500 (only applicable when volume type is io1)

Node specific defaults:

• Node root volume size: 10 (in GiBs)
• Node root volume type: gp2
• Node root volume iops: 500 (only applicable when volume type is io1)
• Docker volume size: 25 (in GiBs)
• Docker volume ephemeral: true (Whether the docker volume is ephemeral)
• Docker volume type: gp2 (only applicable if ephemeral is false)
• Docker volume iops: 500 (only applicable when volume type is io1)

Specifying ec2 instance type.

All instances:

• export ec2_instance_type='m4.large'

Master instances:

• export ec2_master_instance_type='m4.large'

Infra node instances:

• export ec2_infra_instance_type='m4.large'

Non-infra node instances:

• export ec2_node_instance_type='m4.large'

etcd instances:

• export ec2_etcd_instance_type='m4.large'

If needed, these values can be changed by setting environment variables on your system.

• export ec2_image='ami-307b3658'
• export ec2_region='us-east-1'
• export ec2_keypair='libra'
• export ec2_security_groups="['public']"
• export ec2_vpc_subnet='my_vpc_subnet'
• export ec2_assign_public_ip='true'
• export os_etcd_root_vol_size='20'
• export os_etcd_root_vol_type='standard'
• export os_etcd_vol_size='20'
• export os_etcd_vol_type='standard'
• export os_master_root_vol_size='20'
• export os_master_root_vol_type='standard'
• export os_node_root_vol_size='15'
• export os_docker_vol_size='50'
• export os_docker_vol_ephemeral='false'

Install Dependencies

1. Ansible requires python-boto for aws operations:

RHEL/CentOS/Fedora

  yum install -y ansible python-boto pyOpenSSL

OSX:

  pip install -U boto

Test The Setup

1. cd openshift-ansible
2. Try to list all instances (Passing an empty string as the cluster_id argument will result in all ec2 instances being listed) bin/cluster list aws ''

Creating a cluster

1. To create a cluster with one master and two nodes bin/cluster create aws <cluster-id>

Updating a cluster

1. To update the cluster bin/cluster update aws <cluster-id>

Terminating a cluster

1. To terminate the cluster bin/cluster terminate aws <cluster-id>

Specifying a deployment type

The --deployment-type flag can be passed to bin/cluster to specify the deployment type

1. To launch an online cluster (requires access to private repositories and amis): bin/cluster create aws --deployment-type=online <cluster-id> Note: If no deployment type is specified, then the default is origin.

Post-ansible steps

You should now be ready to follow the What's Next? section of the advanced installation guide to deploy your router, registry, and other components.

Refer to the advanced installation guide for your deployment type:

• OpenShift Enterprise
• OpenShift Origin
