Overview
OpenShift Container Platform can be configured to access an AWS EC2 infrastructure, including using AWS volumes as persistent storage for application data. After AWS is configured properly, some additional configurations will need to be completed on the OpenShift Container Platform hosts.

1 g+ c! N: {+ B+ C& \& [) W, VTo set the required AWS variables, create a /etc/aws/aws.conf file with the following contents on all of your OpenShift Container Platform hosts, both masters and nodes:

$ \$ q* C% ~! {  d[Global]

This is the Availability Zone of your AWS Instance and where your EBS Volume resides; this information is obtained from the AWS Managment Console.

When triggering a containerized installation, only the directories of /etc/origin and /var/lib/origin are mounted to the master and node container. Therefore, aws.conf should be in /etc/origin/ instead of /etc/.
Manually Configuring OpenShift Container Platform Nodes for AWS
Edit or create the node configuration file on all nodes (/etc/origin/node/node-config.yaml by default) and update the contents of the kubeletArguments section:

Setting Key Value Access Pairs
Make sure the following environment variables are set in the /etc/sysconfig/atomic-openshift-master file on masters and the /etc/sysconfig/atomic-openshift-node file on nodes:

Access keys are obtained when setting up your AWS IAM user.
5 P; L' k& F- p$ uApplying Configuration Changes
Start or restart OpenShift Container Platform services on all master and node hosts to apply your configuration changes:
( N3 v/ Z) p* H& [' @  t
$ systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master
$ systemctl restart atomic-openshift-node
Switching from not using a cloud provider to using a cloud provider produces an error message. Adding the cloud provider tries to delete the node because the node switches from using the hostname as the externalID (which would have been the case when no cloud provider was being used) to using the AWS instance-id (which is what the AWS cloud provider specifies). To resolve this issue:

' D: E( A& w7 z/ uLog in to the CLI as a cluster administrator.

Check and backup existing node labels:

$ oc describe node <node_name> | grep -Poz '(?s)Labels.*\n.*(?=Taints)'
Delete the nodes:

  Y' T% o4 E" p" k7 h; M0 J$ oc delete node <node_name>
8 J7 ^: }% H! }; zOn each node host, restart the OpenShift Container Platform service.

$ systemctl restart atomic-openshift-node
