Unmanaged infrastructure requirements for a management AWS account

When your infrastructure is prerequired and unmanaged in a hosted cluster Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, ensure that you are familiar with the infrastructure requirements for all access modes.

  • One VPC

  • One DHCP Option

  • Two subnets

    • A private subnet that is an internal data plane subnet

    • A public subnet that enables access to the internet from the data plane

  • One internet gateway

  • One elastic IP

  • One NAT gateway

  • One security group (worker nodes)

  • Two route tables (one private and one public)

  • Two Route 53 hosted zones

  • Enough quota for the following items:

    • One Ingress service load balancer for public hosted clusters

    • One private link endpoint for private hosted clusters

Note

For private link networking to work, the endpoint zone in the hosted cluster AWS account must match the zone of the instance that is resolved by the service endpoint in the management cluster AWS account. In AWS, the zone names are aliases, such as us-east-2b, which do not necessarily map to the same zone in different accounts. As a result, for private link to work, the management cluster must have subnets or workers in all zones of its region.
