AWS EKS Setup

Requirements

1. VPC

2. At least 2 subnets in that VPC (These should be marked properly for load balancing, see alb-ingress

   The above requirements can be created using eksctl

   Avionix_airflow is also preconfigured to use kube2iam, which can be used to assign roles to your kubernetes pods

4. An AWS EFS Volume (Be sure this is available in the same subnets as the cluster and the security group allows traffic from the cluster’s security group)

5. An IAM role that is authorized to manipulate ALB’s based on the subnet tags you wrote above. You can find a minimal policy for this here

6. An IAM role that can set up an record dns in route53. You can find information about the required policy here

7. An IAM role that can control the autoscaling group. The required policy can be found here

Additional Requirements (Recommended)

1. AWS ElasticSearch Cluster

   1. An IAM role that is authorized to connect to the cluster

2. Ensure that the security group for the cluster is allowed TCP access on port 443 from the EKS cluster security group
