The cloud-provider-aws module integrates Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform with Amazon AWS. It allows the node-manager module to use AWS resources when provisioning nodes for a NodeGroup.

Features of the cloud-provider-aws module:

  • Managing AWS resources via cloud-controller-manager:
    • creates network routes for the PodNetwork network on the AWS side;
    • creates load balancers for Services of the LoadBalancer type;
    • updates cluster node metadata and removes from Kubernetes nodes that no longer exist in AWS.
  • Provisioning disks via the EBS CSI driver (ebs.csi.aws.com) and creating StorageClasses for AWS volume types so that PersistentVolumes can be requested from the cluster.
  • Provisioning base infrastructure and CloudPermanent nodes using the Terraform/OpenTofu provider terraform-provider-aws.
  • Provisioning CloudEphemeral nodes via Machine Controller Manager (MCM). Virtual machine parameters are set in the AWSInstanceClass resource.
  • Registering with node-manager so that AWSInstanceClass can be used when describing a NodeGroup.
  • Enabling CNI for new clusters automatically. By default, cni-cilium is used.
