Infrastructure Optimizer supports Amazon EKS 1.28 or newer.
If you don’t have an existing EKS cluster, you can use the following command to provision one that uses the eksctl
default cluster parameters:
eksctl create cluster --name <cluster_name>
The following tools are required to complete the integration setup:
kubectl - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/
eksctl - https://eksctl.io/
AWS CLI - https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
Helm - https://helm.sh
EKS Nodegroup IAM
By default, the EKS node group should have the following AWS-managed IAM roles attached:
AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly
→ This allows read-only access to Amazon EC2 Container Registry repositoriesAmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
→ This provides the Amazon VPC CNI Add-on permissions it requires to modify the IP address configuration on your EKS worker nodesAmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
→ This allows Amazon EKS worker nodes to connect to Amazon EKS ClustersAmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore
→ This is to enable AWS Systems Manager service core functionality
AWS IAM Authenticator
Apply the following changes to the the EKS cluster’s aws-auth
ConfigMap to ensure the dynamic X-Compute EKS nodes can join the EKS Kubernetes management API:
Edit the
aws-auth
ConfigMap in thekube-system
namespace:kubectl edit configmap aws-auth -n kube-system
Insert the following groups to the
mapRoles
section:- groups: - system:masters rolearn: <Insert the Role ARN of your Worker IAM Role> username: admin - groups: - system:masters rolearn: <Insert the Role ARN of your Controller IAM Role> username: admin
AWS CNI
Infrastructure Optimizer supports the AWS VPC CNI plugin v1.18.2-eksbuild.1 or newer.
Download and run the configure-aws-nodes.sh
script to:
Configure the node affinity rules of the
aws-node
DaemonSet to not run onx-compute
nodesInstall and configure the
exo-aws-node
DaemonSet to run onx-compute
nodes
This script will restart the AWS CNI DaemonSet
Optional - AWS CNI Plugin With IRSA
This section is required only if your cluster customized the IAM roles used by the AWS CNI plugin’s service account. For more information about the EKS IRSA, see their documentation here.
Determine whether an IAM OIDC provider is already associated with your EKS cluster:
oidc_id=$(aws eks describe-cluster --name $cluster_name --query "cluster.identity.oidc.issuer" --output text | cut -d '/' -f 5) aws iam list-open-id-connect-providers | grep $oidc_id | cut -d "/" -f4
If the final command returns an non-empty output, then your EKS cluster already has an IAM OIDC provider attached.
Otherwise, enable an OIDC using the next command:
eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider --cluster <cluster_name> --approve
Save this inline IAM policy to a JSON file:
cat > cni_iam.json <<EOT { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "ec2:UnassignPrivateIpAddresses", "Resource": "*" } ] } EOT
This user-defined policy denies the ability to unassign one or more secondary private IP addresses, or “IPv4 Prefix Delegation” prefixes from a network interface.
Use the following command to create the policy:
aws iam create-policy --policy-name cni_iam_policy --policy-document file://cni_iam.json
Add Add-on Amazon VPC CNI with the IRSA to enable pod networking
new_policy_arn=$(aws iam list-policies --query 'Policies[?PolicyName==`cni_iam_policy`].[Arn]' --scope Local --no-cli-pager --output text) eksctl create addon --name vpc-cni \ --cluster <cluster_name> \ --version latest \ --attach-policy-arn ${new_policy_arn} \ --attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
