README Header

Cloud Posse

Terraform module to provision an EKS Node Group for Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes.

Instantiate it multiple times to create many EKS node groups with specific settings such as GPUs, EC2 instance types, or autoscale parameters.

IMPORTANT: This module provisions an EKS Node Group nodes globally accessible by SSH (22) port. Normally, AWS recommends that no security group allows unrestricted ingress access to port 22 .


This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

Terraform Open Source Modules

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

Major Changes (breaking and otherwise)

With the v0.25.0 release of this module, it has undergone major breaking changes and added new features. Please see the migration document for details.

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

Terraform Version

Terraform version 1.0 is out. Before that, there was Terraform version 0.15, 0.14, 0.13 and so on. The v0.25.0 release of this module drops support for Terraform 0.13. That version is old and has lots of known issues. There are hardly any breaking changes between Terraform 0.13 and 1.0, so please upgrade to the latest Terraform version before raising any issues about this module.

Sources of Information

  • This code examples below are manually updated and have a tendency to fall out of sync with actual clode, particularly with respect to usage of other modules. Do not rely on them.
  • The documentation on this page about this module's inputs, output, and compliance is all automatically generated and is up-to-date as of the release date. After the code itself, this is your best source of information.
  • The code in examples/complete is automatically tested before every release, so that is a good place to look for verified example code. Keep in mind, however, it is code for testing, so it may not represent average use cases or best practices.
  • Of course, the READMEs and examples/complete directories in the other modules' GitHub repos are more authoritative with respect to how to use those modules than this README is.

kubernetes_version Kubernetes version. Defaults to EKS Cluster Kubernetes version. Terraform will only perform drift detection if a configuration value is provided list(string) [] no
label_key_case Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
string null no
label_order The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string) null no

set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.
string null no
labels_as_tags Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
set(string)
[
"default"
]
no

string null no
namespace ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique string null no
node_group_terraform_timeouts Configuration for the Terraform timeouts Configuration Block of the node group resource.
Leave list empty for defaults. Pass list with single object with attributes matching the timeouts block to configure it.
Leave attribute values null to preserve individual defaults while setting others.

create = string
update = string
delete = string
}))
[] no
node_role_arn If provided, assign workers the given role, which this module will not modify list(string) [] no
node_role_cni_policy_enabled When true, the AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy will be attached to the node IAM role.
This used to be required, but it is now recommended that this policy be
attached only to the aws-node Kubernetes service account. However, that
is difficult to do with Terraform, so this module defaults to the old pattern.
bool true no
node_role_permissions_boundary If provided, all IAM roles will be created with this permissions boundary attached. string null no
node_role_policy_arns List of policy ARNs to attach to the worker role this module creates in addition to the default ones list(string) [] no

Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
string null no
resources_to_tag List of auto-launched resource types to tag. Valid types are "instance", "volume", "elastic-gpu", "spot-instances-request". list(string) [] no
ssh_access_security_group_ids Set of EC2 Security Group IDs to allow SSH access (port 22) to the worker nodes. If you specify ec2_ssh_key, but do not specify this configuration when you create an EKS Node Group, port 22 on the worker nodes is opened to the Internet (0.0.0.0/0) list(string) [] no
stage ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release' string null no
subnet_ids A list of subnet IDs to launch resources in list(string) n/a yes
tags Additional tags (e.g. {'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.
map(string) {} no
tenant ID element _(Rarely used, not included by default)_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for string null no
update_config Configuration for the eks_node_group update_config Configuration Block.
Specify exactly one of max_unavailable (node count) or max_unavailable_percentage (percentage of nodes).
list(map(number)) [] no
userdata_override_base64 Many features of this module rely on the bootstrap.sh provided with Amazon Linux, and this module
may generate "user data" that expects to find that script. If you want to use an AMI that is not
compatible with the Amazon Linux bootstrap.sh initialization, then use userdata_override_base64 to provide
your own (Base64 encoded) user data. Use "" to prevent any user data from being set.

Setting userdata_override_base64 disables kubernetes_taints, kubelet_additional_options,
before_cluster_joining_userdata, after_cluster_joining_userdata, and bootstrap_additional_options.
list(string) [] no
