AWS Air-gapped Bootstrap

Bootstrap a kind cluster and CAPI controllers

Konvoy deploys all cluster lifecycle services to a bootstrap cluster, which deploys a workload cluster. When the workload cluster is ready, move the cluster lifecycle services to the workload cluster, after which the workload cluster manages its own lifecycle.

  1. Assuming you have downloaded dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.5.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz , extract the tarball to a local directory:

    CODE
    tar -xzvf dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.5.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz && cd dkp-v2.5.1
  2. Set an environment variable with your registry address with this command:

    CODE
    export REGISTRY_ADDRESS=<registry-address>:<registry-port>
    export REGISTRY_USERNAME=<username>
    export REGISTRY_PASSWORD=<password>
  3. Seed the registry by running the following command to load the air-gapped image bundle into your private registry:

    CODE
    dkp push image-bundle --image-bundle ./container-images/konvoy-image-bundle-v2.6.0.tar --to-registry $REGISTRY_ADDRESS --to-registry-username $REGISTRY_USERNAME --to-registry-password $REGISTRY_PASSWORD
  4. Load the bootstrap image on your bastion machine.

    CODE
    docker load -i konvoy-bootstrap-image-v2.5.1.tar
    CODE
    podman load -i konvoy-bootstrap-image-v2.5.1.tar
  5. Create a bootstrap cluster:

    CODE
    dkp create bootstrap --kubeconfig $HOME/.kube/config
  6. (Optional) Refresh the credentials used by the AWS provider at any time, using the command:

    CODE
    dkp update bootstrap credentials aws
