You must have at least one image before creating a new cluster. As long as you have an image, this step in your configuration is not required each time since that image can be used to spin up a new cluster. However, if you need different images for different environments or providers, you will need to create a new custom image.

Create an AMI using Konvoy Image Builder (KIB) for use in an air-gapped cluster

The default AWS image is not recommended for use in production. We suggest using Konvoy Image Builder to AWS Air-gapped AMI to take advantage of enhanced cluster operations, and to explore the Install AWS Air-Gapped topics for more options.

Using KIB, you can build an AMI without requiring access to the internet by providing an additional --override flag.

  1. Assuming you have downloaded dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz , extract the tarball to a local directory:

    tar -xzvf dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz && cd dkp-v2.4.0/kib
    CODE

  2. Follow the instructions to build an AMI and set the override --overrides overrides/offline.yaml flag.

After you complete these steps, you can seed your docker registry.
