Clean URL for Azure Red Hat OpenShift Cluster

Question

We created an Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) cluster via:

az openshift create --resource-group $CLUSTER_NAME --name $CLUSTER_NAME -l $LOCATION --aad-client-app-id $APPID --aad-client-app-secret $SECRET --aad-tenant-id $TENANT --customer-admin-group-id $GROUPID

The URL for the cluster came out in the form:

https://openshift.<cluster-id>.<cluster-region>.azmosa.io/

Is there a way to give it a cleaner, human-readable URL like:

https://openshift.myprodcluster.<cluster-region>.azmosa.io/

Answer 1

As @Will Gordon comment, I don't think you can change the default URL https://openshift.<cluster-id>.<cluster-region>.azmosa.io/ provided by the Azure platform.

If you need a cleaner, human-readable URL, you could try to add a CNAME DNS record which maps your custom domain name like www.contoso.com to this hostname openshift.<cluster-id>.<cluster-region>.azmosa.io in your DNS provider.

If so, you will need to purchase a public domain and get an SSL certificate with that custom DNS name over a secure HTTPS connection. You also could get a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
