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.

Assuming you have downloaded dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.6.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz , extract the tarball to a local directory:
CODE
```
tar -xzvf dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.6.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz && cd dkp-v2.6.0
```

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>

Seed the registry by running the following command to load the air-gapped image bundle into your private registry:

CODE

dkp push bundle --bundle ./container-images/konvoy-image-bundle-v2.6.0.tar --to-registry $REGISTRY_ADDRESS --to-registry-username $REGISTRY_USERNAME --to-registry-password $REGISTRY_PASSWORD

Load the bootstrap container image on your bastion machine using Docker or Podman command:
CODE
```
docker load -i konvoy-bootstrap-image-v2.6.0.tar
```
CODE
```
podman load -i konvoy-bootstrap-image-v2.6.0.tar
```
Create a bootstrap cluster:
CODE
```
dkp create bootstrap --kubeconfig $HOME/.kube/config
```
If your environment uses HTTP/HTTPS proxies, you must include the flags --http-proxy, --https-proxy, and --no-proxy and their related values in this command for it to be successful. More information is available in Configuring an HTTP/HTTPS Proxy.
(Optional) Refresh the credentials used by the AWS provider at any time, using the command:
CODE
```
dkp update bootstrap credentials aws
```

Konvoy creates a bootstrap cluster using KIND as a library. Konvoy then deploys the following Cluster API providers on the cluster:
