Description of problem: A running Openshift 4.1 cluster on AWS, whose EC2 instances are stopped for saving money during a test phase does not come up again after 1-2 days. Version-Release number of the following components: ./openshift-install v4.1.6-201907101224-dirty built from commit e8e6d8998bed2087244a14be16185235b43d6407 release image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release@sha256:aa955a9ec40e55e5d9c0203a995b398e8c1031473dae24ed405efe9a95b43186 How reproducible: Reproducible at least 2 times Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenShift 4.1 on installer-provisioned AWS, without a installer-config file 2. Stop all EC2 instances 3. Start them again immediately 4. Try to access the cluster: It works 5. Stop them again 6. Wait for 2 days 7. Start them again 8. Give them enough time to boot up: Around 30 minutes 9. Try to access the cluster: Doesn't work anymore Actual results: Open the Cluster Web Console in browser: Chrome shows ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED Expected results: The cluster is full operational, the Web frontend is accessible. Additional info: Possibly related to https://github.com/openshift/installer/issues/818. Maybe it's an AWS infrastructure issue, tho. However, in this case the openshift-installer should install the cluster in such a way that it survives restarts even if it is installed by an AWS noob.
This is a documented requirement of the new product architecture, that you must keep the cluster running for at least 24h so the components can rotate to their non-installation certificates https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html#installation-generate-ignition-configs_installing-bare-metal
We need to have the same thing for AWS IPI install, stating that after the install the cluster must be up for 24 hrs.
This warning needs to be added every type of installs: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/installing/*
The PR to add the note to all of the installation assemblies is here: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/17424 @Gaoyun Pei, will you PTAL?
