If you removed the DNS Zone configuration when creating Kubernetes manifests and
generating Ignition configs, you must manually create DNS records that point at
the ingress load balancer. You can create either a wildcard
*.apps.{baseDomain}.
or specific records. You can use A, CNAME, and other
records per your requirements.

Wait for the Ingress router to create a load balancer and populate the
EXTERNAL-IP
field:$ oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE router-default LoadBalancer 172.30.18.154 35.233.157.184 80:32288/TCP,443:31215/TCP 98
-
Add the A record to your public and private zones:
$ export ROUTER_IP=`oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-default --no-headers | awk '{print $4}'` $ if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction add ${ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.${CLUSTER_NAME}.${BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone ${BASE_DOMAIN_ZONE_NAME} $ if [ -f transaction.yaml ]; then rm transaction.yaml; fi $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction add ${ROUTER_IP} --name \*.apps.${CLUSTER_NAME}.${BASE_DOMAIN}. --ttl 300 --type A --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone $ gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone ${INFRA_ID}-private-zone
If you prefer to add explicit domains instead of using a wildcard, you can create entries for each of the cluster’s current routes:
$ oc get --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{range .status.ingress[*]}{.host}{"\n"}{end}{end}' routes oauth-openshift.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com console-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com downloads-openshift-console.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.your.cluster.domain.example.com
