Enable the Red Hat OpenShift Service in AWS

To deploy OpenShift in your AWS account, we’ll need to first enable the Red Hat OpenShift service using the AWS console.

Next, follow the instructions to connect your AWS account with your Red Hat account.

Provision an EC2 Instance

Let’s provision an EC2 instance that we’ll use to deploy the Red Hat cluster. This avoids the limitations running the ROSA command-line interface on Mac OS.

We used a t3.xlarge instance type using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS while creating the workshop, but a smaller instance type can also be used.

ssh into the instance once it’s up and running.

Clone the GitHub Repository

Clone the GitHub repository to your EC2 instance:

git clone https://github.com/splunk/observability-workshop.git

cd observability-workshop/workshop/cisco-ai-pods
