aws-vpc-cni

AWS VPC CNI

This chart installs the AWS CNI Daemonset: https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.11+ running on AWS

Installing the Chart

First add the EKS repository to Helm:

helm repo add eks https://aws.github.io/eks-charts

To install the chart with the release name aws-vpc-cni and default configuration:

$ helm install --name aws-vpc-cni --namespace kube-system eks/aws-vpc-cni

To install into an EKS cluster where the CNI is already installed, see this section below

$ helm install --name aws-vpc-cni --namespace kube-system eks/aws-vpc-cni --values values.yaml

Adopting the existing aws-node resources in an EKS cluster

If you do not want to delete the existing aws-node resources in your cluster that run the aws-vpc-cni and then install this helm chart, you can adopt the resources into a release instead. This process is highlighted in this PR comment. Once you have annotated and labeled all the resources this chart specifies, enable the originalMatchLabels flag, and also set crd.create to false on the helm release and run an update. If you have been careful this should not diff and leave all the resources unmodified and now under management of helm.

Here is an example script to modify the existing resources:

WARNING: Substitute YOUR_HELM_RELEASE_NAME_HERE with the name of your helm release.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

# don't import the crd. Helm cant manage the lifecycle of it anyway.
