Cluster Fields

name (required)

Name of your cluster my-cluster-name in this example

clusterNetwork (required)

Network configuration.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig (required)

CNI plugin configuration. Supports cilium.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.policyEnforcementMode (optional)

Optionally specify a policyEnforcementMode of default, always or never.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.egressMasqueradeInterfaces (optional)

Optionally specify a network interface name or interface prefix used for masquerading. See EgressMasqueradeInterfaces option.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.skipUpgrade (optional)

When true, skip Cilium maintenance during upgrades. Also see Use a custom CNI.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.routingMode (optional)

Optionally specify the routing mode. Accepts default and direct. Also see RoutingMode option.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.ipv4NativeRoutingCIDR (optional)

Optionally specify the CIDR to use when RoutingMode is set to direct. When specified, Cilium assumes networking for this CIDR is preconfigured and hands traffic destined for that range to the Linux network stack without applying any SNAT.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.ipv6NativeRoutingCIDR (optional)

Optionally specify the IPv6 CIDR to use when RoutingMode is set to direct. When specified, Cilium assumes networking for this CIDR is preconfigured and hands traffic destined for that range to the Linux network stack without applying any SNAT.

clusterNetwork.pods.cidrBlocks[0] (required)

The pod subnet specified in CIDR notation. Only 1 pod CIDR block is permitted. The CIDR block should not conflict with the host or service network ranges.

clusterNetwork.services.cidrBlocks[0] (required)

The service subnet specified in CIDR notation. Only 1 service CIDR block is permitted. This CIDR block should not conflict with the host or pod network ranges.

clusterNetwork.dns.resolvConf.path (optional)

File path to a file containing a custom DNS resolver configuration.

controlPlaneConfiguration (required)

Specific control plane configuration for your Kubernetes cluster.

controlPlaneConfiguration.count (required)

Number of control plane nodes

controlPlaneConfiguration.endpoint.host (required)

A unique IP you want to use for the control plane VM in your EKS Anywhere cluster. Choose an IP in your network range that does not conflict with other VMs.

NOTE: This IP should be outside the network DHCP range as it is a floating IP that gets assigned to one of the control plane nodes for kube-apiserver loadbalancing. Suggestions on how to ensure this IP does not cause issues during cluster creation process are here

controlPlaneConfiguration.machineGroupRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with CloudStack specific configuration for your nodes. See CloudStackMachineConfig Fields below.

controlPlaneConfiguration.taints (optional)

A list of taints to apply to the control plane nodes of the cluster.

Replaces the default control plane taint, node-role.kubernetes.io/master. The default control plane components will tolerate the provided taints.

Modifying the taints associated with the control plane configuration will cause new nodes to be rolled-out, replacing the existing nodes.

NOTE: The taints provided will be used instead of the default control plane taint node-role.kubernetes.io/master. Any pods that you run on the control plane nodes must tolerate the taints you provide in the control plane configuration.

controlPlaneConfiguration.labels (optional)

A list of labels to apply to the control plane nodes of the cluster. This is in addition to the labels that EKS Anywhere will add by default.

A special label value is supported by the CAPC provider:

    labels:
      cluster.x-k8s.io/failure-domain: ds.meta_data.failuredomain

The ds.meta_data.failuredomain value will be replaced with a failuredomain name where the node is deployed, such as az-1.

Modifying the labels associated with the control plane configuration will cause new nodes to be rolled out, replacing the existing nodes.

datacenterRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with CloudStack environment specific configuration. See CloudStackDatacenterConfig Fields below.

externalEtcdConfiguration.count (optional)

Number of etcd members

externalEtcdConfiguration.machineGroupRef (optional)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with CloudStack specific configuration for your etcd members. See CloudStackMachineConfig Fields below.

kubernetesVersion (required)

The Kubernetes version you want to use for your cluster. Supported values: 1.28, 1.27, 1.26, 1.25, 1.24

managementCluster (required)

Identifies the name of the management cluster. If this is a standalone cluster or if it were serving as the management cluster for other workload clusters, this will be the same as the cluster name.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations (required)

This takes in a list of node groups that you can define for your workers. You may define one or more worker node groups.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].count (optional)

Number of worker nodes. (default: 1) It will be ignored if the cluster autoscaler curated package is installed and autoscalingConfiguration is used to specify the desired range of replicas.

Refers to troubleshooting machine health check remediation not allowed and choose a sufficient number to allow machine health check remediation.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].machineGroupRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with CloudStack specific configuration for your nodes. See CloudStackMachineConfig Fields below.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].name (required)

Name of the worker node group (default: md-0)

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].autoscalingConfiguration.minCount (optional)

Minimum number of nodes for this node group’s autoscaling configuration.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].autoscalingConfiguration.maxCount (optional)

Maximum number of nodes for this node group’s autoscaling configuration.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].taints (optional)

A list of taints to apply to the nodes in the worker node group.

Modifying the taints associated with a worker node group configuration will cause new nodes to be rolled-out, replacing the existing nodes associated with the configuration.

At least one node group must not have NoSchedule or NoExecute taints applied to it.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].labels (optional)

A list of labels to apply to the nodes in the worker node group. This is in addition to the labels that EKS Anywhere will add by default. A special label value is supported by the CAPC provider:

    labels:
      cluster.x-k8s.io/failure-domain: ds.meta_data.failuredomain

The ds.meta_data.failuredomain value will be replaced with a failuredomain name where the node is deployed, such as az-1.

Modifying the labels associated with a worker node group configuration will cause new nodes to be rolled out, replacing the existing nodes associated with the configuration.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].kubernetesVersion (optional)

The Kubernetes version you want to use for this worker node group. Supported values: 1.28, 1.27, 1.26, 1.25, 1.24

CloudStackDatacenterConfig

availabilityZones.account (optional)

Account used to access CloudStack. As long as you pass valid credentials, through availabilityZones.credentialsRef, this value is not required.

availabilityZones.credentialsRef (required)

If you passed credentials through the environment variable EKSA_CLOUDSTACK_B64ENCODED_SECRET noted in Create CloudStack production cluster , you can identify those credentials here. For that example, you would use the profile name global. You can instead use a previously created secret on the Kubernetes cluster in the eksa-system namespace.

availabilityZones.domain (optional)

CloudStack domain to deploy the cluster. The default is ROOT.

availabilityZones.managementApiEndpoint (required)

Location of the CloudStack API management endpoint. For example, http://10.11.0.2:8080/client/api.

Name or ID of the CloudStack zone on which to deploy the cluster.

availabilityZones.zone.network.{id,name} (required)

CloudStack network name or ID to use with the cluster.

CloudStackMachineConfig

In the example above, there are separate CloudStackMachineConfig sections for the control plane (my-cluster-name-cp), worker (my-cluster-name) and etcd (my-cluster-name-etcd) nodes.

computeOffering.{id,name} (required)

Name or ID of the CloudStack compute instance.

users[0].name (optional)

The name of the user you want to configure to access your virtual machines through ssh. You can add as many users object as you want.

The default is capc.

users[0].sshAuthorizedKeys (optional)

The SSH public keys you want to configure to access your virtual machines through ssh (as described below). Only 1 is supported at this time.

users[0].sshAuthorizedKeys[0] (optional)

This is the SSH public key that will be placed in authorized_keys on all EKS Anywhere cluster VMs so you can ssh into them. The user will be what is defined under name above. For example:

ssh -i <private-key-file> <user>@<VM-IP>

The default is generating a key in your $(pwd)/<cluster-name> folder when not specifying a value.

template.{id,name} (required)

The VM template to use for your EKS Anywhere cluster. Currently, a VM based on RHEL 8.6 is required. This can be a name or ID. The template.name must contain the Cluster.Spec.KubernetesVersion or Cluster.Spec.WorkerNodeGroupConfiguration[].KubernetesVersion version (in case of modular upgrade). For example, if the Kubernetes version is 1.24, the template.name field name should include 1.24, 1_24, 1-24 or 124. See the Artifacts page for instructions for building RHEL-based images.
