Shared VPC

Deploying ROSA HCP in a Shared VPC Pattern

Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with Hosted Control Planes (HCP) supports a shared VPC deployment pattern where the cluster’s networking infrastructure (VPC, subnets, Route 53 hosted zones) lives in a centralized networking account while the ROSA cluster is owned by a separate workload account. This pattern is common in enterprises that use a hub-and-spoke networking model with AWS Organizations. This tutorial walks through deploying a private ROSA HCP cluster in a shared VPC using the rosa and aws CLI tools, including customer-managed KMS encryption for etcd and node volumes.
