Enabling EKS Support

You must explicitly enable the EKS support in the provider by doing the following:

  • Enabling support in the infrastructure manager (capa-controller-manager) by enabling the EKS feature flags (see below)
  • Add the EKS Control Plane Provider (aws-eks)
  • Add the EKS Bootstrap Provider (aws-eks)

Enabling the EKS features

Enabling the EKS functionality is done using the following feature flags:

  • EKS - this enables the core EKS functionality and is required for the other EKS feature flags
  • EKSEnableIAM - by enabling this the controllers will create any IAM roles required by EKS and the roles will be cluster specific. If this isn't enabled then you can manually create a role and specify the role name in the AWSManagedControlPlane spec otherwise the default rolename will be used.
  • EKSAllowAddRoles - by enabling this you can add additional roles to the control plane role that is created. This has no affect unless used wtih EKSEnableIAM

Enabling the feature flags can be done using clusterctl by setting the following environment variables to true (they all default to false):

  • EXP_EKS - this is used to set the value of the EKS feature flag
  • EXP_EKS_IAM - this is used to set the value of the EKSEnableIAM feature flag
  • EXP_EKS_ADD_ROLES - this is used to set the value of the EKSAllowAddRoles feature flag

As an example:

export EXP_EKS=true
export EXP_EKS_IAM=true
export EXP_EKS_ADD_ROLES=true

clusterctl init --infrastructure=aws --control-plane aws-eks --bootstrap aws-eks
