OpenShift Install (4.19.10) fails when using the new AWS Regional NAT Gateway

[aneeshobjec3d]

Hello

I have tested this and verified that the OpenShift install does not succeed when using an AWS VPC with a regional NAT gateway. This is a new feature from AWS so my assumption is that OpenShift does not support it. However, I am using UPI (User Provisioned Infrastructure) with my own VPC setup, so I don't understand why the NAT gateway configuration should affect OpenShift. OpenShift should not care whether I use a regional or default zonal NAT gateway. As long as there is a route out to the internet for the subnet, why should this affect the installation?

This is the error I get when using a regional NAT gateway.

1/11/2026, 6:43:15 AM:level=error msg=failed to fetch Cluster: failed to generate asset "Cluster": failed to create cluster: infrastructure was not ready within 15m0s: client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded

I have noticed that the internal load balancer is not provisioned. When I switch back to the old zonal NAT gateway, this works fine.

Thank You
