EUS partition also uses amazonaws.com suffix similar to global partition. If using amazonaws.eu, the following error occured. MalformedPolicyDocument: Invalid principal in policy: "SERVICE":"ec2.amazonaws.eu"
The SDK v1 is EOF and no longer supports new regions/partitions; thus, its endpoint resolution handler is outdated. For EUSC, there is currently only 1 region. Thus, we can just it as the signing region instead.
The cluster destroy process now detects the AWS partition (aws, aws-us-gov, aws-eusc, etc.) and selects the appropriate region for the resourcetagging client. This region may be different from the install region. Background: Since Route 53 is a "global" service, API requests must be configured with a specific "default" region, which differs based on the partition.
Untagging hosted zone in region "eusc-de-east-1" is not supported via resourcetagging api. If attempting to do so, the api returns the following error: UntagResources operation: Invocation of UntagResources for this resource is not supported in this region

❌ Issues Found
RecommendationsFor PR #10303 Team
For Testing Continuity
ConclusionPR #10303 is substantially successful - it enables OpenShift installation on AWS EUSC with:
The remaining DNS/ingress issue is likely in a separate component (cluster-ingress-operator) that also needs EUSC partition support. This should be reported as a dependency or follow-up work. Overall Assessment: The installer changes in PR #10303 are working correctly. The ingress operator limitation is a separate issue that needs to be addressed in the cluster-ingress-operator repository. |
DNS Workaround Success ReportDate: 2026-02-17Executive SummarySuccessfully worked around the ingress operator EUSC endpoint bug by manually creating DNS records. The cluster is now FULLY FUNCTIONAL with 29/30 cluster operators Available. Final Cluster Status✅ FULLY OPERATIONAL$ oc get co --insecure-skip-tls-verify | grep -c "True.*False.*False"
2929 out of 30 cluster operators are Available (96.7% success rate) Operator Status Breakdown
The Ingress Operator "False Positive"The ingress operator reports However, ingress is actually fully functional:
The operator just can't query Route53 to verify the DNS records due to the EUSC endpoint bug (discussed in cluster-status-final-analysis.md). Manual DNS Workaround StepsIssue IdentifiedThe ingress operator's DNS controller cannot create wildcard DNS records because:

The Ingress Operator Bug is RealThe operator cannot:
2. Manual DNS Records WorkEven though the operator can't manage the DNS records, manually created records function perfectly for cluster operations. 3. Operator Status vs Actual FunctionalityAn operator reporting "Degraded" doesn't always mean the service is broken. The ingress operator reports degraded status because it can't verify the DNS records it expects to manage, but the actual routing functionality works perfectly. 4. Internal Cluster DNS WorksCoreDNS correctly forwards external queries to resolve the CNAME records we created, enabling all cluster components to access routes. Recommendations for PR #103031. Document This WorkaroundUntil the ingress operator receives EUSC support, users should:
2. Track Ingress Operator IssueFile a separate issue or PR for
3. Consider Installer EnhancementThe installer could detect EUSC environment and create the wildcard DNS record directly (instead of relying on the ingress operator) as a temporary workaround until the operator is fixed. ConclusionThe OpenShift cluster on AWS EUSC is FULLY FUNCTIONAL with the manual DNS workaround. This demonstrates that PR #10303's installer changes are working correctly, and the remaining issue is in a separate component (ingress operator) that needs its own EUSC support update. Overall PR #10303 Assessment: ✅ SUCCESSThe installer successfully:
The 3.3% gap (1 operator) is due to a known, documented, and easily worked-around issue in a separate component. |

This PR adds support for the newly opened AWS European Sovereign Cloud (EUSC). The EUSC is a completely independent partition from global AWS Cloud, and the first available region is
eusc-de-east-1(Brandenburg, German).As of now,
eusc-de-east-1is the only available region and will be the only supported one for openshift.Notes
The
eusc-de-east-1endpoint resolution works out of the box in AWS SDK v2. For AWS SDK v1, this requires specifying custom service endpoints since the SDK v1 doesn't recognize the new partition and returns invalid URLs, especially for global services Route53 and IAM.We define the
eusc-de-east-1and specify the necessary custom service endpoints in theinstall-config.yamlas below. Note that we must also build a custom RHCOS AMI since the none has been published in this region (See guide).Once all openshift components migrate to AWS SDK v2, we will no longer need custom service endpoints.
