SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Setting up the HyperShift Operator on AWS requires a long, error-prone CLI command with many flags for external-dns, OIDC S3 storage, and private platform credentials. This Skill standardizes that installation so you can deploy the operator with a custom image and correct AWS configuration in one step.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom Image Installation: Install the HyperShift Operator using any image tag from your container registry via the hypershift install command.
  • AWS Private Platform Support: Configures private AWS settings including region, credentials, and OIDC S3 bucket storage.
  • External-DNS Integration: Wires up external-dns with AWS provider credentials and a domain filter for hosted cluster DNS management.
  • Use Case: After building a custom HyperShift image with make build, install the operator into your management cluster with external-dns and OIDC configured for AWS-hosted control planes.

Quick Start

Source dev/claude-env.sh, then ask the assistant to install the HyperShift Operator using my custom image tag with AWS private and external-dns settings.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install the HyperShift Operator on AWS with a custom image?▼

Build the CLI with make hypershift, then run ./bin/hypershift install with --hypershift-image pointing to your custom image tag. Include flags for external-dns, OIDC S3 storage, and private AWS settings as shown in the command.

How to configure external-dns when installing HyperShift?▼

Pass --external-dns-provider=aws, --external-dns-credentials pointing to your AWS credentials file, and --external-dns-domain-filter with your domain. This lets the operator manage DNS records for hosted clusters automatically.

What environment variables are required before installing HyperShift Operator?▼

Source dev/claude-env.sh to set HO_IMAGE_REPO, AWS_CREDENTIALS, EXTERNAL_DNS_DOMAIN, OIDC_BUCKET, AWS_REGION, and MGMT_KUBECONFIG. These feed the install command's flags for registry, credentials, DNS, and OIDC configuration.

Do I need to rebuild the image after changing HyperShift CRD APIs?▼

No. Changes to CRD generated APIs only require running make api and make build, not a full image rebuild. You can then reinstall the operator with your existing image tag.

Why does hypershift install fail with credential errors?▼

The install fails if the AWS credentials file path is wrong or unreadable, or if MGMT_KUBECONFIG does not point to a reachable management cluster. Verify both files exist and the kubeconfig context is valid before running the command.
