The AWS App Mesh Controller for Kubernetes is easily installed using Helm. To get started, add the EKS Charts repository.
helm repo add eks https://aws.github.io/eks-charts
helm repo list | grep eks-charts
Create the appmesh-system namespace and attach IAM Policies for AWS App Mesh and AWS Cloud Map full access.
if you are new to the IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) concept, Click here for me information.
kubectl create ns appmesh-system
# Create your OIDC identity provider for the cluster
eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider \
--cluster eksworkshop-eksctl \
--approve
# Download the IAM policy document for the controller
curl -o controller-iam-policy.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/aws-app-mesh-controller-for-k8s/master/config/iam/controller-iam-policy.json
# Create an IAM policy for the controller from the policy document
aws iam create-policy \
--policy-name AWSAppMeshK8sControllerIAMPolicy \
--policy-document file://controller-iam-policy.json
# Create an IAM role and service account for the controller
eksctl create iamserviceaccount \
--cluster eksworkshop-eksctl \
--namespace appmesh-system \
--name appmesh-controller \
--attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::$ACCOUNT_ID:policy/AWSAppMeshK8sControllerIAMPolicy \
--override-existing-serviceaccounts \
--approve
Now install App Mesh Controller into the appmesh-system namespace using the project’s Helm chart.
helm upgrade -i appmesh-controller eks/appmesh-controller \
--namespace appmesh-system \
--set region=${AWS_REGION} \
--set serviceAccount.create=false \
--set serviceAccount.name=appmesh-controller
Now list all resources in the appmesh-system namespace and verify the installation was successful.
kubectl -n appmesh-system get all
