- When using
S3
source, and network isn't ready for its first metadata retrieval, theregionHint
isnil
and so defaults tous-east-1
. - Bootstrap node fails downloading the ignition fragment from
s3
, whiles3-eu-central-1
prefix lists are accessible. We can see in the logs thatIgnition
component tries to reachS3
inus-east-1
and therefore is failing as access to this network is not allowed and blocked by the VPC.
Environment
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.1 and 4.2
