Installing the Compliance Operator

Before you can use the Compliance Operator, you must ensure it is deployed in the cluster.

Installing the Compliance Operator through the web console

Prerequisites

  • You must have admin privileges.

Procedure

  1. In the OKD web console, navigate to OperatorsOperatorHub.

  2. Search for the Compliance Operator, then click Install.

  3. Keep the default selection of Installation mode and namespace to ensure that the Operator will be installed to the openshift-compliance namespace.

  4. Click Install.

Verification

To confirm that the installation is successful:

  1. Navigate to the OperatorsInstalled Operators page.

  2. Check that the Compliance Operator is installed in the openshift-compliance namespace and its status is Succeeded.

If the Operator is not installed successfully:

  1. Navigate to the OperatorsInstalled Operators page and inspect the Status column for any errors or failures.

  2. Navigate to the WorkloadsPods page and check the logs in any pods in the openshift-compliance project that are reporting issues.

Installing the Compliance Operator using the CLI

Prerequisites

  • You must have admin privileges.

Procedure

  1. Create a Namespace object YAML file by running:

    1. $ oc create -f <file-name>.yaml

    Example output

    1. apiVersion: v1
    2. kind: Namespace
    3. metadata:
    4. name: openshift-compliance
  2. Create the OperatorGroup object YAML file by running:

    1. $ oc create -f <file-name>.yaml

    Example output

    1. apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
    2. kind: OperatorGroup
    3. metadata:
    4. name: compliance-operator
    5. namespace: openshift-compliance
    6. spec:
    7. targetNamespaces:
    8. - openshift-compliance
  3. Create the Subscription object YAML file by running:

    1. $ oc create -f <file-name>.yaml

    Example output

    1. apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
    2. kind: Subscription
    3. metadata:
    4. name: compliance-operator-sub
    5. namespace: openshift-compliance
    6. spec:
    7. channel: "release-0.1"
    8. installPlanApproval: Automatic
    9. name: compliance-operator
    10. source: redhat-operators
    11. sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace

If you are setting the global scheduler feature and enable defaultNodeSelector, you must create the namespace manually and update the annotations of the openshift-compliance namespace, or the namespace where the Compliance Operator was installed, with openshift.io/node-selector: “”. This removes the default node selector and prevents deployment failures.

Verification

  1. Verify the installation succeeded by inspecting the CSV file:

    1. $ oc get csv -n openshift-compliance
  2. Verify that the Compliance Operator is up and running:

    1. $ oc get deploy -n openshift-compliance
