Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) now offers a direct integration between EKS add-ons and EKS Pod Identity in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, streamlining the lifecycle management process for critical cluster operational software that needs to interact with AWS services outside the cluster.
EKS add-ons that enable integration with underlying AWS resources need IAM permissions to interact with AWS services. EKS Pod Identities simplify how Kubernetes applications obtain AWS IAM permissions. With today’s launch, you can directly manage EKS Pod Identities using EKS add-ons operations through the EKS console, CLI, API, eksctl, and IAC tools like AWS CloudFormation, simplifying usage of Pod Identities for EKS add-ons. This integration expands the selection of Pod Identity compatible EKS add-ons available for installation through the EKS console during cluster creation.
EKS add-ons integration with Pod Identities is generally available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. To get started, see the EKS user guide.
