Worker IAM Role
This is required for EKS users only.
Type: AWS Managed
Policy | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
| This allows read-only access to Amazon EC2 Container Registry repositories |
| 2 |
| This provides the Amazon VPC CNI Add-on permissions it requires to modify the IP address configuration on your EKS worker nodes |
| 3 |
| This allows Amazon EKS worker nodes to connect to Amazon EKS Clusters |
| 4 |
| This is to enable AWS Systems Manager service core functionality |
| 5 |
| This allows the CSI driver service account to make calls to related services such as EC2 |
Type: Customer Inline
Policy | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
| This allows worker nodes to modify the instance metadata parameters on a running or stopped EC2 instance |
| 2 |
| This denies unassigning one or more secondary private IP addresses, or IPv4 Prefix Delegation prefixes from a network interface |
