Amazon EKS Core Services

View Source Release Notes

Overview​

This service contains Terraform and Helm code to deploy core administrative services, such as FluentD and the ALB Ingress Controller, onto Elastic Kubernetes Service(EKS).

EKS Core Services architectureEKS Core Services architecture

Features​

  • Deploy FluentD DaemonSet to ship container logs to CloudWatch Logs
  • Deploy ALB Ingress Controller to configure ALBs from within Kubernetes
  • Deploy external-dns to manage Route 53 DNS records from within Kubernetes
  • Deploy Kubernetes cluster-autoscaler to configure auto scaling of ASGs based on Pod demand
  • Deploy AWS CloudWatch Agent to configure container and node level metrics from worker nodes

note

This repo is a part of the Gruntwork Service Catalog, a collection of reusable, battle-tested, production ready infrastructure code. If you’ve never used the Service Catalog before, make sure to read How to use the Gruntwork Service Catalog!

Under the hood, this is all implemented using Terraform modules from the Gruntwork terraform-aws-eks repo. If you are a subscriber and don’t have access to this repo, email support@gruntwork.io.

Core concepts​

For information on each of the core services deployed by this service, see the documentation in the terraform-aws-eks repo.

Repo organization​

  • modules: the main implementation code for this repo, broken down into multiple standalone, orthogonal submodules.
  • examples: This folder contains working examples of how to use the submodules.
  • test: Automated tests for the modules and examples.

Reference​

Required​

aws_regionstringrequired

The AWS region in which all resources will be created

eks_cluster_namestringrequired

The name of the EKS cluster where the core services will be deployed into.

Configuration for using the IAM role with Service Accounts feature to provide permissions to the applications. This expects a map with two properties: openid_connect_provider_arn and openid_connect_provider_url. The openid_connect_provider_arn is the ARN of the OpenID Connect Provider for EKS to retrieve IAM credentials, while openid_connect_provider_url is the URL. Set to null if you do not wish to use IAM role with Service Accounts.

object({
    openid_connect_provider_arn = string
    openid_connect_provider_url = string
  })

ARN of IAM Role to use as the Pod execution role for Fargate. Required if any of the services are being scheduled on Fargate. Set to null if none of the Pods are being scheduled on Fargate.

vpc_idstringrequired

Optionally use a cri parser instead of the default Docker parser. This should be used for EKS v1.24 and later.

true
fluent_bit_versionstringoptional

Which version of aws-for-fluent-bit to install. When null, uses the default version set in the chart. Only applies to non-fargate workers.

null
kubernetes_priority_classesmap(object(…))optional

A map of PriorityClass configurations, with the key as the PriorityClass name. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/pod-priority-preemption/#priorityclass

map(object({
    description    = string
    global_default = bool
    value          = number
  }))
{}

Policy for how DNS records are sychronized between sources and providers (options: sync, upsert-only).

"sync"

When true, the ALB ingress controller pods will be scheduled on Fargate.

false

When true, the cluster autoscaler pods will be scheduled on Fargate. It is recommended to run the cluster autoscaler on Fargate to avoid the autoscaler scaling down a node where it is running (and thus shutting itself down during a scale down event). However, since Fargate is only supported on a handful of regions, we don't default to true here.

false

When true, the external-dns pods will be scheduled on Fargate.

false
service_dns_mappingsmap(object(…))optional

Configure Kubernetes Services to lookup external DNS records. This can be useful to bind friendly internal service names to domains (e.g. the RDS database endpoint).

map(object({
    # DNS record to route requests to the Kubernetes Service to.
    target_dns = string

    # Port to route requests
    target_port = number

    # Namespace to create the underlying Kubernetes Service in.
    namespace = string
  }))
{}

     Port to route requests

     Namespace to create the underlying Kubernetes Service in.

If this variable is set to true, then use an exec-based plugin to authenticate and fetch tokens for EKS. This is useful because EKS clusters use short-lived authentication tokens that can expire in the middle of an 'apply' or 'destroy', and since the native Kubernetes provider in Terraform doesn't have a way to fetch up-to-date tokens, we recommend using an exec-based provider as a workaround. Use the use_kubergrunt_to_fetch_token input variable to control whether kubergrunt or aws is used to fetch tokens.

true

EKS clusters use short-lived authentication tokens that can expire in the middle of an 'apply' or 'destroy'. To avoid this issue, we use an exec-based plugin to fetch an up-to-date token. If this variable is set to true, we'll use kubergrunt to fetch the token (in which case, kubergrunt must be installed and on PATH); if this variable is set to false, we'll use the aws CLI to fetch the token (in which case, aws must be installed and on PATH). Note this functionality is only enabled if use_exec_plugin_for_auth is set to true.

true

When true, all IAM policies will be managed as dedicated policies rather than inline policies attached to the IAM roles. Dedicated managed policies are friendlier to automated policy checkers, which may scan a single resource for findings. As such, it is important to avoid inline policies when targeting compliance with various security standards.
