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​

To understand core concepts like what is Kubernetes, the different worker types, how to authenticate to Kubernetes, and more, 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​

Configure one or more self-managed Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) to manage the EC2 instances in this cluster. Set to empty object ({}) if you do not wish to configure self-managed ASGs.

Any types represent complex values of variable type. For details, please consult `variables.tf` in the source repo.
Details

   Each configuration must be keyed by a unique string that will be used as a suffix for the ASG name. The values
   support the following attributes:

   REQUIRED (must be provided for every entry):
   - subnet_ids  list(string)  : A list of the subnets into which the EKS Cluster's worker nodes will be launched.
                                 These should usually be all private subnets and include one in each AWS Availability
                                 Zone. NOTE: If using a cluster autoscaler, each ASG may only belong to a single
                                 availability zone.

                                              subnets into which the EKS Cluster's managed nodes will be launched.
                                              These should usually be all private subnets and include one in each AWS
                                              Availability Zone. NOTE: If using a cluster autoscaler with EBS volumes,
                                              each ASG may only belong to a single availability zone.

                                              even if you don't plan on scaling the cluster up and down, as the extra
                                              capacity will be used to deploy updates to the cluster.

                                              nodes. EKS will choose from this list of instance types when launching
                                              new instances. When using launch templates, this setting will override
                                              the configured instance type of the launch template.
   - capacity_type       string             : (Defaults to value from var.node_group_default_capacity_type) Type of capacity

                                              template. Must include version. Although the API supports using the
                                              values "$Latest" and "$Default" to configure the version, this can lead
                                              to a perpetual diff. Use the `latest_version` or `default_version` output
                                              of the aws_launch_template data source or resource instead. See

Set to true to enable several basic CloudWatch alarms around CPU usage, memory usage, and disk space usage. If set to true, make sure to specify SNS topics to send notifications to using alarms_sns_topic_arn.

true

Set to true to send logs to CloudWatch. This is useful in combination with https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-monitoring/tree/master/modules/logs/cloudwatch-log-aggregation-scripts to do log aggregation in CloudWatch. Note that this is only recommended for aggregating system level logs from the server instances. Container logs should be managed through fluent-bit deployed with eks-core-services.

false

Set to true to add IAM permissions to send custom metrics to CloudWatch. This is useful in combination with https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-monitoring/tree/master/modules/agents/cloudwatch-agent to get memory and disk metrics in CloudWatch for your Bastion host.

true
enable_fail2banbooloptional

Enable fail2ban to block brute force log in attempts. Defaults to true.

true

If you are using ssh-grunt and your IAM users / groups are defined in a separate AWS account, you can use this variable to specify the ARN of an IAM role that ssh-grunt can assume to retrieve IAM group and public SSH key info from that account. To omit this variable, set it to an empty string (do NOT use null, or Terraform will complain).

""

"missing"

Custom name for the IAM role for the Managed Node Groups. When null, a default name based on worker_name_prefix will be used. One of managed_node_group_custom_iam_role_name and managed_node_group_iam_role_arn is required (must be non-null) if managed_node_group_iam_role_already_exists is true.

null

Whether or not the IAM role used for the Managed Node Group workers already exists. When false, this module will create a new IAM role.

false

ARN of the IAM role to use if iam_role_already_exists = true. When null, uses managed_node_group_custom_iam_role_name to lookup the ARN. One of managed_node_group_custom_iam_role_name and managed_node_group_iam_role_arn is required (must be non-null) if managed_node_group_iam_role_already_exists is true.

null

Default value for capacity_type field of managed_node_group_configurations.

"ON_DEMAND"

Default value for desired_size field of managed_node_group_configurations.

1

Default value for enable_detailed_monitoring field of managed_node_group_configurations.

node_group_default_labelsmap(string)optional

Default value for labels field of managed_node_group_configurations. Unlike common_labels which will always be merged in, these labels are only used if the labels field is omitted from the configuration.

{}

Default value for the max_pods_allowed field of managed_node_group_configurations. Any map entry that does not specify max_pods_allowed will use this value.

null

Default value for max_size field of managed_node_group_configurations.

{}
node_group_default_taintslist(map(…))optional

Default value for taint field of node_group_configurations. These taints are only used if the taint field is omitted from the configuration.

list(map(string))
[]

The instance type to configure in the launch template. This value will be used when the instance_types field is set to null (NOT omitted, in which case node_group_default_instance_types will be used).

null

Tags assigned to a node group are mirrored to the underlaying autoscaling group by default. If you want to disable this behaviour, set this flag to false. Note that this assumes that there is a one-to-one mappping between ASGs and Node Groups. If there is more than one ASG mapped to the Node Group, then this will only apply the tags on the first one. Due to a limitation in Terraform for_each where it can not depend on dynamic data, it is currently not possible in the module to map the tags to all ASGs. If you wish to apply the tags to all underlying ASGs, then it is recommended to call the aws_autoscaling_group_tag resource in a separate terraform state file outside of this module, or use a two-stage apply process.

true
node_group_nameslist(string)optional

The names of the node groups. When null, this value is automatically calculated from the managed_node_group_configurations map. This variable must be set if any of the values of the managed_node_group_configurations map depends on a resource that is not available at plan time to work around terraform limitations with for_each.

null

A map of tags to apply to the Security Group of the ASG for the managed node group pool. The key is the tag name and the value is the tag value.

{}
ssh_grunt_iam_groupstringoptional

If you are using ssh-grunt, this is the name of the IAM group from which users will be allowed to SSH to the EKS workers. To omit this variable, set it to an empty string (do NOT use null, or Terraform will complain).

"ssh-grunt-users"

If you are using ssh-grunt, this is the name of the IAM group from which users will be allowed to SSH to the EKS workers with sudo permissions. To omit this variable, set it to an empty string (do NOT use null, or Terraform will complain).

"ssh-grunt-sudo-users"
tenancystringoptional

The tenancy of the servers in the self-managed worker ASG. Must be one of: default, dedicated, or host.

"default"

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
use_imdsv1booloptional

Set this variable to true to enable the use of Instance Metadata Service Version 1 in this module's aws_launch_template. Note that while IMDsv2 is preferred due to its special security hardening, we allow this in order to support the use case of AMIs built outside of these modules that depend on IMDSv1.

false

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.

true

When true, assumes prefix delegation mode is in use for the AWS VPC CNI component of the EKS cluster when computing max pods allowed on the node. In prefix delegation mode, each ENI will be allocated 16 IP addresses (/28) instead of 1, allowing you to pack more Pods per node.

false

Name of the IAM role to Kubernetes RBAC group mapping ConfigMap. Only used if aws_auth_merger_namespace is not null.

"eks-cluster-worker-iam-mapping"
worker_name_prefixstringoptional

Prefix EKS worker resource names with this string. When you have multiple worker groups for the cluster, you can use this to namespace the resources. Defaults to empty string so that resource names are not excessively long by default.

""
