Summary

Root cause

The aws-telco cluster profile's cluster-secrets-aws-telco secret was never created in ci-secret-bootstrap (see #70863). Without it, bootstrap nodes lack pull credentials for quay-proxy.ci.openshift.org. Starting in 4.21/5.0, the new node-image-pull systemd service tries to pull RHCOS layered images from quay-proxy during early boot, fails with unable to retrieve auth token: invalid username/password: authentication required, and the cluster never installs.

Evidence from build 2089335431140216832:

node-image-pull.sh: Trying to pull quay-proxy.ci.openshift.org/openshift/ci@sha256:5255e5f2...
Error: unable to retrieve auth token: invalid username/password: authentication required
systemd: node-image-pull.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'

Adding reference_policy: Local makes the release payload reference images via the internal CI registry which doesn't require authentication, bypassing the missing secret entirely.

Test plan

  • Verify e2e-aws-ran-profile passes on master after merge
  • Verify e2e-aws-ci-tests passes on master after merge

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Added reference_policy: Local to the initial integration release configuration for cnf-features-deploy on master and release branches release-4.10 through release-4.22.
  • RHCOS node images now use the internal CI registry. This prevents unauthenticated pulls from quay-proxy.ci.openshift.org by the bootstrap node-image-pull service.
  • Test the e2e-aws-ran-profile and e2e-aws-ci-tests jobs on master after merge.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 07f11

The PR updates image reference behavior to avoid bootstrap authentication failures. The only remaining follow-up is the routine generated-file check, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

… failures

Without reference_policy: Local in the releases configuration, the
release payload's RHCOS node images reference quay-proxy.ci.openshift.org
instead of the internal CI registry. The bootstrap node-image-pull
service tries to pull from quay-proxy during early boot, requiring
authentication that the bootstrap node doesn't have access to.

This is the same fix as openshift#70864 (oran-o2ims), openshift#69958 (lifecycle-agent),
and openshift#69950 (cluster-group-upgrades-operator).
