Basic Openshift install CLI wrapper.
The tool allows deploying or deletion of one or more clusters.
The clusters can be deployed on different platforms; currently supported platforms: AWS IPI, AWS OSD, GCP OSD, ROSA and Hypershift.
Each cluster can be provided with different configuration options, such as worker type, number of workers etc.

• AWS IPI installation uses openshift-installer cli which is extracted from the cluster's target version.
  The binary is taken from quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:<target version>
• ROSA and Hypershift installation uses the latest ROSA CLI

User can create/destroy clusters by sending YAML file instead with CLI args Example YAML file can be found here pass --clusters-yaml-config-file=.local/clusters-example.yaml to use YAML file. Action also can be passed to the CLI as --action create/destroy instead of specifying the action in the YAML file. --action create --clusters-yaml-config-file=.local/clusters-example.yaml

• --clusters-install-data-directory: Clusters configurations are written to <clusters-install-data-directory><platform><cluster name>; write permissions are needed.

  • <cluster directory>/auth contains kubeconfig and kubeadmin-password files

• --parallel: To create / destroy clusters in parallel

• Pass --s3-bucket-name (and optionally --s3-bucket-path) to backup in an S3 bucket.

• --ocm-token: OCM token, defaults to OCM_TOKEN environment variable.

• AWS IPI clusters:

  • The installer output is saved in the .
  • The data is used for cluster destroy.
  • platform=aws: Must pass in cluster parameters
  • base_domain: cluster parameter is mandatory
  • --registry-config-file: registry-config json file path, can be obtained from openshift local cluster
  • --docker-config-file: Path to Docker config.json file, defaults to ~/.docker/config.json. File must include token for registry.ci.openshift.org
  • --ssh-key-file: id_rsa file path

• ROSA / Hypershift clusters:

  • platform=rosa: Must pass in cluster parameters

• AWS OSD clusters:

  • platform=aws-osd: Must pass in cluster parameters
  • --aws-access-key-id: AWS access key ID
  • --aws-secret-access-key: AWS secret access key
  • --aws-account-id: AWS account ID

• GCP OSD clusters:

  • platform=gcp-osd: Must pass in cluster parameters
  • --gcp-service-account-file: Path to GCP service account json.
    To create the file, create a service account and download it:
    1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts?project=
    2. Select the service account -> "Create Key"
    3. Select the Key Type as JSON and click Create

Every call to the openshift installer cli must have at least one --cluster option.

• Mandatory parameters:
  • name: The name of the cluster
  • platform: The platform to deploy the cluster on (supported platforms are: aws, rosa and hypershift)
  • region: The region to deploy the cluster
• Optional parameters:
  • Parameter names should be separated by semicolons (;)
  • To set cluster create / destroy timeout (not applicable for AWS IPI clusters), pass --cluster ...timeout=1h'; default is 60 minutes.
  • timeout and expiration-time format examples: 1h, 30m, 3600s
  • ocm-env: OCM environment to deploy the cluster; available options: stage or production (defaults to stage). AWS-IPI clusters only use production.
  • AWS IPI:
    • To overwrite cluster config, check install-config-template.j2 parameters.
    • Every parameter (marked with double curly brackets in the template) can be overwritten.
    • For example: to overwrite {{ fips|default("false", true) }} pass --cluster '...fips=true'
  • ROSA / Hypershift:
    • Every supported ROSA CLI create/delete parameter can be passed. Check rosa create --help for more details.
    • For example:
      • Pass --cluster ...fips=true' to enable FIPS
      • Pass --cluster ...expiration-time=2h' to have the cluster expiration time set to 2 hours
  • Hypershift:
    • Cluster VPC CIDR, public and private subnets can be configured from the CLI. Otherwise, values in setup-vpc.tf will be used.
      • To set cidr, pass --cluster ...cidr=1.1.0.0/16'
      • To set private_subnets, pass --cluster ...private_subnets=10.1.1.0/24,10.1.2.0/24'
      • To set public_subnets, pass --cluster ...public_subnets=10.1.10.0/24,10.1.20.0/24'

Managed clusters (Rosa, AWS and OSD) can be deployed with ACM and attached to ACM hub. To deploy ACM on cluster pass --cluster ..... acm=True To attach cluster to this ACM hub pass --cluster ...... acm-clusters=mycluser1,mycluster2
