AWS Prerequisites

Before you begin using Konvoy with AWS, you must:

1. Follow the steps to create a Minimal Permissions and Role to Create Clusters..

2. Create Cluster IAM Policies and Roles.

3. Export the AWS region where you want to deploy the cluster:

   CODE

   export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

4. Export the AWS profile with the credentials you want to use to create the Kubernetes cluster:

   CODE

   export AWS_PROFILE=<profile>

If using AWS ECR as your local private registry, more information can be found on the Registry Mirror Tools page.

To deploy a cluster with a custom image in a region where CAPI images are not provided, you need to use Konvoy Image Builder to create your own image for the region.

For an air-gapped environment, ensure you have downloaded dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.5.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz , so you can extract the tarball on next page.
