Overview
- G* E8 O& h# l4 G1 IOpenShift 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.

To 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:
- n7 |( h4 T+ H% P) Z' [1 ?, R
[Global]
Zone = us-east-1c
This is the Availability Zone of your AWS Instance and where your EBS Volume resides; this information is obtained from the AWS Managment Console.

During advanced installations, AWS can be configured using the openshift_cloudprovider_aws_access_key, openshift_cloudprovider_aws_secret_key, and openshift_cloudprovider_kind parameters, which are configurable in the inventory file.

Manually Configuring OpenShift Container Platform Masters for AWS
Edit or create the master configuration file on all masters (/etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml by default) and update the contents of the apiServerArguments and controllerArguments sections:

/ d' J/ E3 E2 F7 AkubernetesMasterConfig:
. }: y1 ^8 N2 Z7 @5 @  ...

7 Z" M* Y' M: v1 e: a      - "/etc/aws/aws.conf"
Currently, the nodeName must match the instance name in AWS in order for the cloud provider integration to work properly. The name must also be RFC1123 compliant.

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/.

Applying Configuration Changes

% u5 }* L' @8 W* V0 t% \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:
