Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) snap
DEPRECATION WARNING
This snap has been deprecated. Please, use MicroK8s form the proper tracks instead. For example:
snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.23-eksd
See the official docs for more information: https://microk8s.io/docs/eks-d
Description
The eks snap packages all the Kubernetes binaries of Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) and combines them with a MicroK8s like experience, for an opinionated, self-healing, highly available EKS-compatible Kubernetes anywhere.
Install
On any recent Ubuntu machine, or another Linux distribution with snap support: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd
sudo snap install eks --classic --edge
To form a multi-node cluster call eks add-node on any existing cluster member to get a token, followed by eks join <token> on the new machine.
Default components
For optimal compatibility with EKS, this Kubernetes distro will launch a very specific set of component services automatically. These provide a standardised K8s environment that simplifies workload compatibility with EKS on AWS itself.
When you initialize the cluster, it will also fetch and enable:
coredns- DNS services for services on this EKS clustermetrics-server- K8s Metrics Server for API accessstorage- Storage class; allocates storage from host directory
The EKS snap will automatically detect if it is on AWS, and if so it will also enable:
aws-iam-authenticator- login to your cluster with AWS IAM credentials
Stripped down MicroK8s with EKS components
This EKS Distro is based on MicroK8s. It has a stripped down set of addons and is designed to feel great for AWS users only. It assumes you have AWS IAM credentials for identity and provides default services that are compatible with EKS on EC2. See eks status for component information.
