AWS EKS Terraform module

Lint Status LICENSE

Terraform module which creates Kubernetes cluster resources on AWS EKS.

Features

Important note

Kubernetes is evolving a lot, and each minor version includes new features, fixes, or changes.

Always check Kubernetes Release Notes before updating the major version, and CHANGELOG.md for all changes in this EKS module.

You also need to ensure that your applications and add ons are updated, or workloads could fail after the upgrade is complete. For action, you may need to take before upgrading, see the steps in the EKS documentation.

Usage example

data "aws_eks_cluster" "eks" {
  name = module.eks.cluster_id
}

data "aws_eks_cluster_auth" "eks" {
  name = module.eks.cluster_id
}

provider "kubernetes" {
  host                   = data.aws_eks_cluster.eks.endpoint
  cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.aws_eks_cluster.eks.certificate_authority[0].data)
  token                  = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.eks.token
}

module "eks" {
  source          = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"

  cluster_version = "1.21"
  cluster_name    = "my-cluster"
  vpc_id          = "vpc-1234556abcdef"
  subnets         = ["subnet-abcde012", "subnet-bcde012a", "subnet-fghi345a"]

  worker_groups = [
    {
      instance_type = "m4.large"
      asg_max_size  = 5
    }
  ]
}

There is also a complete example which shows large set of features available in the module.

Submodules

Root module calls these modules which can also be used separately to create independent resources:

Notes

  • By default, this module manages the aws-auth configmap for you (manage_aws_auth=true). To avoid the following issue where the EKS creation is ACTIVE but not ready. We implemented a "retry" logic with a fork of the http provider. This fork adds the support of a self-signed CA certificate. The original PR can be found here.

  • Setting instance_refresh_enabled = true will recreate your worker nodes without draining them first. It is recommended to install aws-node-termination-handler for proper node draining. Find the complete example here instance_refresh.
