Extending the results of S. Y. Cheng and S.-T. Yau it is shown that a strictly pseudoconvex domain M ⊂ X in a complex manifold carries a complete Kähler-Einstein metric if and only if its canonical bundle is positive, i.e. admits an Hermitian connection with positive curvature. We consider the restricted case in which the CR structure on ∂M is normal. In this case M must be a domain in a resolution of the Sasaki cone over ∂M . We give a condition on a normal CR manifold which it cannot satisfy if it is a CR infinity of a Kähler-Einstein manifold. We are able to mostly determine those normal CR 3-manifolds which can be CR infinities.We give many examples of Kähler-Einstein strictly pseudoconvex manifolds on bundles and resolutions. In particular, the tubular neighborhood of the zero section of every negative holomorphic vector bundle on a compact complex manifold whose total space satisfies c 1 < 0 admits a complete Kähler-Einstein metric.
