SCOS AMIs are not mirrored to all regions. It is currently only available on us-east1. AWS tech preview jobs have been failing with:

CAPI worker MachineSets use AWSMachineTemplate manifests. Only AWSMachine objects are updated, leaving AWSMachineTemplate.spec.template.spec.ami.id empty. Update AWSMachineTemplate manifests so worker templates receive the copied target-region AMI ID.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Copied AMI IDs are now applied consistently to both control-plane and worker machine configurations during provisioning.

🟠 Major · Check worker template AMIs before returning.

pkg/infrastructure/aws/clusterapi/aws.go:70-71
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check worker template AMIs before returning.

Control-plane and worker AMIs are derived from separate machine pools. A control-plane AWSMachine can therefore have a non-empty AMI while a worker AWSMachineTemplate has a non-nil, empty AMI ID. The early return skips copyAMIToRegion, so CAPA receives the empty worker AMI ID.

Assign the copied AMI only to empty fields. Otherwise, independently configured AMIs can be overwritten.

Thanks for bringing it up, this is a known issue in AWS tech preview after we migrated worker machines from MAPI to CAPI.

Though, we should bring in kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-aws#6196 and use ec2 tag filter instead (similar to MAPI behaviour).

The in.MachineManifests only contains controlplane CAPI machine manifests for the local envtest. To access worker machine assets, we need to use in.WorkersAsset.

hey @tthvo thanks for bringing this up! i'm ok if this is going to be handled by the installer soon, or if this could take some time, we could put this interim fix in (with the corrections of course).

Oh yes, we are actively working on it, so I hope to get upstream work merged and sync to openshift (will ping others). For now, you can work around by:

  • Copy the AMI to the region yourself via AWS CLI/console before installing.
  • Then provide the AMI ID to the install-config: platform.aws.defaultMachinePlatform.amiID
