Calico on AWS

Note: The recommended way to install calico on EKS is via tigera-opeartor instead of this helm-chart. You can follow https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/calico.html for detailed instructions.

This chart installs Calico on AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/calico.html

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.11+ running on AWS

Installing the Chart

First add the EKS repository to Helm:

helm repo add eks https://aws.github.io/eks-charts

Install the Calico CRDs:

kubectl apply -k github.com/aws/eks-charts/tree/master/stable/aws-calico/crds

To install the chart with the release name aws-calico and default configuration:

$ helm install --name aws-calico --namespace kube-system eks/aws-calico

To install into an EKS cluster where the CNI is already installed, you can run:

helm upgrade --install --recreate-pods --force aws-calico --namespace kube-system eks/aws-calico

If you receive an error similar to Error: release aws-calico failed: <resource> "aws-calico" already exists, simply rerun the above command.
