eksctl - a CLI for Amazon EKS

Circle CI Coverage Status Go Report Card

eksctl is a simple CLI tool for creating clusters on EKS - Amazon's new managed Kubernetes service for EC2. It is written in Go, and uses CloudFormation.

You can create a cluster in minutes with just one command – eksctl create cluster!

Usage

To download the latest release, run:

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/download/latest_release/eksctl_$(uname -s)_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/eksctl /usr/local/bin

Alternatively, macOS users can use Homebrew:

brew tap weaveworks/tap
brew install weaveworks/tap/eksctl

and Windows users can use chocolatey:

chocolatey install eksctl

You will need to have AWS API credentials configured. What works for AWS CLI or any other tools (kops, Terraform etc), should be sufficient. You can use ~/.aws/credentials file or environment variables. For more information read AWS documentation.

To create a basic cluster, run:

eksctl create cluster

A cluster will be created with default parameters

  • exciting auto-generated name, e.g. "fabulous-mushroom-1527688624"
  • 2x m5.large nodes (this instance type suits most common use-cases, and is good value for money)
  • use official AWS EKS AMI
  • us-west-2 region
  • dedicated VPC (check your quotas)
  • using static AMI resolver

Once you have created a cluster, you will find that cluster credentials were added in ~/.kube/config. If you have kubectl v1.10.x as well as aws-iam-authenticator commands in your PATH, you should be able to use kubectl. You will need to make sure to use the same AWS API credentials for this also. Check EKS docs for instructions. If you installed eksctl via Homebrew, you should have all of these dependencies installed already.

$

To list the details about a cluster or all of the clusters, use:

eksctl get cluster [--name=<name>] [--region=<region>]

To create the same kind of basic cluster, but with a different name, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-1 --nodes=4

EKS supports versions 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12 (default), with eksctl you can deploy either version by passing --version.

eksctl create cluster --version=1.10

A default StorageClass (gp2 volume type provisioned by EBS) will be added automatically when creating a cluster. If you want to prevent this, use the --storage-class flag. For example:

eksctl create cluster --storage-class=false

To write cluster credentials to a file other than default, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-2 --nodes=4 --kubeconfig=./kubeconfig.cluster-2.yaml

To prevent storing cluster credentials locally, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-3 --nodes=4 --write-kubeconfig=false

To let eksctl manage cluster credentials under ~/.kube/eksctl/clusters directory, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-3 --nodes=4 --auto-kubeconfig

To obtain cluster credentials at any point in time, run:

eksctl utils write-kubeconfig --name=<name> [--kubeconfig=<path>] [--set-kubeconfig-context=<bool>]

To use a 3-5 node Auto Scaling Group, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-5 --nodes-min=3 --nodes-max=5

NOTE: You will still need to install and configure autoscaling. See the "Enable Autoscaling" section below. Also note that depending on your workloads you might need to use a separate nodegroup for each AZ. See Zone-aware Autoscaling below for more info.

To use 30 c4.xlarge nodes and prevent updating current context in ~/.kube/config, run:

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-6 --nodes=30 --node-type=c4.xlarge --set-kubeconfig-context=false

In order to allow SSH access to nodes, eksctl imports ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub by default, to use a different SSH public key, e.g. my_eks_node_id.pub, run:

eksctl create cluster --ssh-access --ssh-public-key=my_eks_node_id.pub

To use a pre-existing EC2 key pair in us-east-1 region, you can specify key pair name (which must not resolve to a local file path), e.g. to use my_kubernetes_key run:

eksctl create cluster --ssh-access  --ssh-public-key=my_kubernetes_key --region=us-east-1

To add custom tags for all resources, use --tags.

NOTE: Until #25 is resolved, tags cannot be applied to EKS cluster itself, but most of other resources (e.g. EC2 nodes).

eksctl create cluster --tags environment=staging --region=us-east-1

To configure node root volume, use the --node-volume-size (and optionally --node-volume-type), e.g.:

eksctl create cluster --node-volume-size=50 --node-volume-type=io1

NOTE: In us-east-1 you are likely to get UnsupportedAvailabilityZoneException. If you do, copy the suggested zones and pass --zones flag, e.g. eksctl create cluster --region=us-east-1 --zones=us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1d. This may occur in other regions, but less likely. You shouldn't need to use --zone flag otherwise.

You can also create a cluster passing all configuration information in a file using --config-file:

eksctl create cluster --config-file=<path>

To create a cluster using a configuration file and skip creating nodegroups until later:

eksctl create cluster --config-file=<path> --without-nodegroup

To delete a cluster, run:

eksctl delete cluster --name=<name> [--region=<region>]

NOTE: Cluster info will be cleaned up in kubernetes config file. Please run kubectl config get-contexts to select right context.

Managing nodegroups

You can add one or more nodegroups in addition to the initial nodegroup created along with the cluster.

To create an additional nodegroup, use:

eksctl create nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> [--name=<nodegroupName>]

NOTE: By default, new nodegroups inherit the version from the control plane (--version=auto), but you can specify a different version e.g. --version=1.10, you can also use --version=latest to force use of whichever is the latest version.

Additionally, you can use the same config file used for eksctl create cluster:

eksctl create nodegroup --config-file=<path>

If there are multiple nodegroups specified in the file, you can select a subset via --include=<glob,glob,...> and --exclude=<glob,glob,...>:

eksctl create nodegroup --config-file=<path> --include='ng-prod-*-??' --exclude='ng-test-1-ml-a,ng-test-2-?'

To list the details about a nodegroup or all of the nodegroups, use:

eksctl get nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> [--name=<nodegroupName>]

A nodegroup can be scaled by using the eksctl scale nodegroup command:

eksctl scale nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --nodes=<desiredCount> --name=<nodegroupName>

For example, to scale nodegroup ng-a345f4e1 in cluster-1 to 5 nodes, run:

eksctl scale nodegroup --cluster=cluster-1 --nodes=5 ng-a345f4e1

If the desired number of nodes is greater than the current maximum set on the ASG then the maximum value will be increased to match the number of requested nodes. And likewise for the minimum.

Scaling a nodegroup works by modifying the nodegroup CloudFormation stack via a ChangeSet.

NOTE: Scaling a nodegroup down/in (i.e. reducing the number of nodes) may result in errors as we rely purely on changes to the ASG. This means that the node(s) being removed/terminated aren't explicitly drained. This may be an area for improvement in the future.

You can also enable SSH, ASG access and other feature for each particular nodegroup, e.g.:

eksctl create nodegroup --cluster=cluster-1 --node-labels="autoscaling=enabled,purpose=ci-worker" --asg-access --full-ecr-access --ssh-access

To delete a nodegroup, run:

eksctl delete nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<nodegroupName>

NOTE: this will drain all pods from that nodegroup before the instances are deleted.

All nodes are cordoned and all pods are evicted from a nodegroup on deletion, but if you need to drain a nodegroup without deleting it, run:

eksctl drain nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<nodegroupName>

To uncordon a nodegroup, run:

eksctl drain nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<nodegroupName> --undo

Cluster Upgrades

An eksctl-managed cluster can be upgraded in 3 easy steps:

  1. update control plane version with eksctl update cluster
  2. replace each of the nodegroups by creating a new one and deleting the old one
  3. update default add-ons:
  • kube-proxy
  • aws-node
  • kube-dns or coredns

Please make sure to read this section in full before you proceed.

NOTE: Kubernetes supports version drift of up-to 2 minor versions during upgrade process.

Updating control plane version

Control plane version updates must be done for one minor version at a time.

To update control plane to the next available version run:

eksctl update cluster --name=<clusterName>

This command will not apply any changes right away, you will need to re-run it with --dry-run=false to apply the changes.

Updating nodegroups

You should update nodegroups only after you ran eksctl update cluster.

If you have a simple cluster with just an initial nodegroup (i.e. created with eksctl create cluster), the process is very simple.

Get the name of old nodegroup:

eksctl get nodegroups --cluster=<clusterName>

NOTE: you should see only one nodegroup here, if you see more - read the next section

Create new nodegroup:

eksctl create nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName>

Delete old nodegroup:

eksctl delete nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<oldNodeGroupName>

NOTE: this will drain all pods from that nodegroup before the instances are deleted.

Updating multiple nodegroups

If you have multiple nodegroups, it's your responsibility to track how each one was configured. You can do this by using config files, but if you haven't used it already, you will need to inspect your cluster to find out how each nodegroup was configured.

In general terms, you are looking to:

  • review nodegroups you have and which ones can be deleted or must be replaced for the new version
  • note down configuration of each nodegroup, consider using config file to ease upgrades next time

To create a new nodegroup:

eksctl create nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<newNodeGroupName>

To delete old nodegroup:

eksctl delete nodegroup --cluster=<clusterName> --name=<oldNodeGroupName>
Updating multiple nodegroups with config file

If you are using config file, you will need to do the following.

Edit config file to add new nodegroups, and remove old nodegroups. If you just want to update nodegroups and keep the same configuration, you can just change nodegroup names, e.g. append -v2 to the name.

To create all of new nodegroups defined in the config file, run:

eksctl create nodegroup --config-file=<path>

Once you have new nodegroups in place, you can delete old ones:

eksctl delete nodegroup --config-file=<path> --only-missing

NOTE: first run is in plan mode, if you are happy with the proposed changes, re-run with --approve.

Updating default add-ons

There are 3 default add-ons that get included in each EKS cluster, the process for updating each of them is different, hence there are 3 distinct commands that you will need to run.

NOTE: all of the following commands accept --config-file.

NOTE: by default each of these commands runs in plan mode, if you are happy with the proposed changes, re-run with --approve.

To update kube-proxy, run:

eksctl utils update-kube-proxy

To update aws-node, run:

eksctl utils update-aws-node

If you have upgraded from 1.10 to 1.11, you will need to replace kube-dns with coredns. To do that, run:

eksctl utils install-coredns

If you have upgraded from 1.11 to 1.12, run:

eksctl utils update-coredns

Once upgraded, be sure to run kubectl get pods -n kube-system and check if all addon pods are in ready state, you should see something like this:

NAME                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
aws-node-g5ghn             1/1     Running   0          2m
aws-node-zfc9s             1/1     Running   0          2m
coredns-7bcbfc4774-g6gg8   1/1     Running   0          1m
coredns-7bcbfc4774-hftng   1/1     Running   0          1m
kube-proxy-djkp7           1/1     Running   0          3m
kube-proxy-mpdsp           1/1     Running   0          3m

Enable Autoscaling

You can create a cluster (or nodegroup in an existing cluster) with IAM role that will allow use of cluster autoscaler:

eksctl create cluster --asg-access

Once cluster is running, you will need to install cluster autoscaler itself. This flag also sets k8s.io/cluster-autoscaler/enabled and k8s.io/cluster-autoscaler/<clusterName> tags, so nodegroup discovery should work.

Zone-aware Autoscaling

If your workloads are zone-specific you'll need to create separate nodegroups for each zone. This is because the cluster-autoscaler assumes that all nodes in a group are exactly equivalent. So, for example, if a scale-up event is triggered by a pod which needs a zone-specific PVC (e.g. an EBS volume), the new node might get scheduled in the wrong AZ and the pod will fail to start.

You won't need a separate nodegroup for each AZ if your environment meets the following criteria:

  • No zone-specific storage requirements.
  • No required podAffinity with topology other than host.
  • No required nodeAffinity on zone label.
  • No nodeSelector on a zone label.

(Read more here and here.)

If you meet all of the above requirements (and possibly others) then you should be safe with a single nodegroup which spans multiple AZs. Otherwise you'll want to create separate, single-AZ nodegroups:

BEFORE:

nodeGroups:
  - name: ng1-public
    instanceType: m5.xlarge
    # availabilityZones: ["eu-west-2a", "eu-west-2b"]

AFTER:

nodeGroups:
  - name: ng1-public-2a
    instanceType: m5.xlarge
    availabilityZones: ["eu-west-2a"]
  - name: ng1-public-2b
    instanceType: m5.xlarge
    availabilityZones: ["eu-west-2b"]

VPC Networking

By default, eksctl create cluster will build a dedicated VPC, in order to avoid interference with any existing resources for a variety of reasons, including security, but also because it's challenging to detect all the settings in an existing VPC. Default VPC CIDR used by eksctl is 192.168.0.0/16, it is divided into 8 (/19) subnets (3 private, 3 public & 2 reserved). Initial nodegroup is create in public subnets, with SSH access disabled unless --allow-ssh is specified. However, this implies that each of the EC2 instances in the initial nodegroup gets a public IP and can be accessed on ports 1025 - 65535, which is not insecure in principle, but some compromised workload could risk an access violation.

If that functionality doesn't suit you, the following options are currently available.

change VPC CIDR

If you need to setup peering with another VPC, or simply need larger or smaller range of IPs, you can use --vpc-cidr flag to change it. You cannot use just any sort of CIDR, there only certain ranges that can be used in AWS VPC.

use private subnets for initial nodegroup

If you prefer to isolate initial nodegroup from the public internet, you can use --node-private-networking flag. When used in conjunction with --ssh-access flag, SSH port can only be accessed inside the VPC.

use existing VPC: shared with kops

You can use a VPC of an existing Kubernetes cluster managed by kops. This feature is provided to facilitate migration and/or cluster peering.

If you have previously created a cluster with kops, e.g. using commands similar to this:

export KOPS_STATE_STORE=s3://kops
kops create cluster cluster-1.k8s.local --zones=us-west-2c,us-west-2b,us-west-2a --networking=weave --yes

You can create an EKS cluster in the same AZs using the same VPC subnets (NOTE: at least 2 AZs/subnets are required):

eksctl create cluster --name=cluster-2 --region=us-west-2 --vpc-from-kops-cluster=cluster-1.k8s.local

use existing VPC: any custom configuration

Use this feature if you must configure a VPC in a way that's different to how dedicated VPC is configured by eksctl, or have to use a VPC that already exists so your EKS cluster gets shared access to some resources inside that existing VPC, or you have any other use-case that requires you to manage VPCs separately.

You can use an existing VPC by supplying private and/or public subnets using --vpc-private-subnets and --vpc-public-subnets flags. It is up to you to ensure which subnets you use, as there is no simple way to determine automatically whether a subnets is private or public, because configurations vary. Given these flags, eksctl create cluster will determine the VPC ID automatically, but it will not create any routing tables or other resources, such as internet/NAT gateways. It will, however, create dedicated security groups for the initial nodegroup and the control plane.

You must ensure to provide at least 2 subnets in different AZs. There are other requirements that you will need to follow, but it's entirely up to you to address those. For example, tagging is not strictly necessary, tests have shown that its possible to create a functional cluster without any tags set on the subnets, however there is no guarantee that this will always hold and tagging is recommended.

  • all subnets in the same VPC, within the same block of IPs
  • sufficient IP addresses are available
  • sufficient number of subnets (minimum 2)
  • internet and/or NAT gateways are configured correctly
  • routing tables have correct entries and the network is functional
  • tagging of subnets
    • kubernetes.io/cluster/<name> tag set to either shared or owned
    • kubernetes.io/role/internal-elb tag set to 1 for private subnets

There maybe other requirements imposed by EKS or Kubernetes, and it is entirely up to you to stay up-to-date on any requirements and/or recommendations, and implement those as needed/possible.

Default security group settings applied by eksctl may or may not be sufficient for sharing access with resources in other security groups. If you wish to modify the ingress/egress rules of the either of security groups, you might need to use another tool to automate changes, or do it via EC2 console.

If you are in doubt, don't use a custom VPC. Using eksctl create cluster without any --vpc-* flags will always configure the cluster with a fully-functional dedicated VPC.

To create a cluster using 2x private and 2x public subnets, run:

eksctl create cluster \
  --vpc-private-subnets=subnet-0ff156e0c4a6d300c,subnet-0426fb4a607393184 \
  --vpc-public-subnets=subnet-0153e560b3129a696,subnet-009fa0199ec203c37

To create a cluster using 3x private subnets and make initial nodegroup use those subnets, run:

eksctl create cluster \
  --vpc-private-subnets=subnet-0ff156e0c4a6d300c,subnet-0549cdab573695c03,subnet-0426fb4a607393184 \
  --node-private-networking

To create a cluster using 4x public subnets, run:

eksctl create cluster \
  --vpc-public-subnets=subnet-0153e560b3129a696,subnet-0cc9c5aebe75083fd,subnet-009fa0199ec203c37,subnet-018fa0176ba320e45

Using Config Files

You can create a cluster using a config file instead of flags.

First, create cluster.yaml file:

apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5
kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:
  name: basic-cluster
  region: eu-north-1

nodeGroups:
  - name: ng-1
    instanceType: m5.large
    desiredCapacity: 10
    ssh:
      allow: true # will use ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub as the default ssh key
  - name: ng-2
    instanceType: m5.xlarge
    desiredCapacity: 2
    ssh:
      publicKeyPath:  ~/.ssh/ec2_id_rsa.pub

Next, run this command:

eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml

This will create a cluster as described.

If you needed to use an existing VPC, you can use a config file like this:

apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5
kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:
  name: cluster-in-existing-vpc
  region: eu-north-1

vpc:
  subnets:
    private:
      eu-north-1a: {id: subnet-0ff156e0c4a6d300c}
      eu-north-1b: {id: subnet-0549cdab573695c03}
      eu-north-1c: {id: subnet-0426fb4a607393184}

nodeGroups:
  - name: ng-1-workers
    labels: {role: workers}
    instanceType: m5.xlarge
    desiredCapacity: 10
    privateNetworking: true
  - name: ng-2-builders
    labels: {role: builders}
    instanceType: m5.2xlarge
    desiredCapacity: 2
    privateNetworking: true
    iam:
      withAddonPolicies:
        imageBuilder: true

To delete this cluster, run:

eksctl delete cluster -f cluster.yaml

See examples/ directory for more sample config files.

GPU Support

If you'd like to use GPU instance types (i.e. p2 or p3 ) then the first thing you need to do is subscribe to the EKS-optimized AMI with GPU Support. If you don't do this then node creation will fail.

After subscribing to the AMI you can create a cluster specifying the GPU instance type you'd like to use for the nodes. For example:

eksctl create cluster --node-type=p2.xlarge

The AMI resolvers (both static and auto) will see that you want to use a GPU instance type (p2 or p3 only) and they will select the correct AMI.

Once the cluster is created you will need to install the NVIDIA Kubernetes device plugin. Check the repo for the most up to date instructions but you should be able to run this:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/k8s-device-plugin/v1.11/nvidia-device-plugin.yml

NOTE: Once addon support has been added as part of 0.2.0 it is envisioned that there will be a addon to install the NVIDIA Kubernetes Device Plugin. This addon could potentially be installed automatically as we know an GPU instance type is being used.

Latest & Custom AMI Support

With the 0.1.2 release we have introduced the --node-ami flag for use when creating a cluster. This enables a number of advanced use cases such as using a custom AMI or querying AWS in realtime to determine which AMI to use (non-GPU and GPU instances).

The --node-ami can take the AMI image id for an image to explicitly use. It also can take the following 'special' keywords:

Keyword Description
static Indicates that the AMI images ids embedded into eksctl should be used. This relates to the static resolvers.
auto Indicates that the AMI to use for the nodes should be found by querying AWS. This relates to the auto resolver.

If, for example, AWS release a new version of the EKS node AMIs and a new version of eksctl hasn't been released you can use the latest AMI by doing the following:

eksctl create cluster --node-ami=auto

With the 0.1.9 release we have introduced the --node-ami-family flag for use when creating the cluster. This makes it possible to choose between different officially supported EKS AMI families.

The --node-ami-family can take following keywords:

Keyword Description
AmazonLinux2 Indicates that the EKS AMI image based on Amazon Linux 2 should be used. (default)
Ubuntu1804 Indicates that the EKS AMI image based on Ubuntu 18.04 should be used.

Shell Completion

To enable bash completion, run the following, or put it in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile:

. <(eksctl completion bash)

If you are stuck on Bash 3 (macOS) use

source /dev/stdin <<<"$(eksctl completion bash)"

Or for zsh, run:

mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion/
eksctl completion zsh > ~/.zsh/completion/_eksctl

and put the following in ~/.zshrc:

fpath=($fpath ~/.zsh/completion)

Note if you're not running a distribution like oh-my-zsh you may first have to enable autocompletion:

autoload -U compinit
compinit

To make the above persistent, run the first two lines, and put the above in ~/.zshrc.

Project Roadmap

Developer use-case (0.2.0)

It should suffice to install a cluster for development with just a single command. Here are some examples:

To create a cluster with default configuration (2 m5.large nodes), run:

eksctl create cluster

The developer may choose to pre-configure popular addons, e.g.:

  • Weave Net: eksctl create cluster --networking weave
  • Helm: eksctl create cluster --addons helm
  • AWS CI tools (CodeCommit, CodeBuild, ECR): eksctl create cluster --addons aws-ci
  • Jenkins X: eksctl create cluster --addons jenkins-x
  • AWS CodeStar: eksctl create cluster --addons aws-codestar
  • Weave Scope and Flux: eksctl create cluster --addons weave-scope,weave-flux

It should be possible to combine any or all of these addons.

It would also be possible to add any of the addons after cluster was created with eksctl create addons.

Manage EKS the GitOps way (0.3.0)

Just like kubectl, eksctl aims to be compliant with GitOps model, and can be used as part of a GitOps toolkit!

For example, eksctl apply --cluster-config prod-cluster.yaml will manage cluster state declaratively.

And eksctld will be a controller inside of one cluster that can manage multiple other clusters based on Kubernetes Cluster API definitions (CRDs).
