Eks playground note able to create nodegroup

Hi All,

Does anyone have update on Creation of EKS cluster along with the Node-Groups.
I was able to create EKS cluster manually through the Console, was able to connect to the cluster thru my ubuntu laptop but was not able to create “self managed node group” due to “ssm parameters” error.
If anyone has proper steps with screenshots then please help.

what is the use of playground when we are unable to create an eks cluster with all user limitations.

User: arn:aws:iam::947438794401:user/odl_user_908970 is not authorized to perform: eks:CreateNodegroup on resource: arn:aws:eks:eu-central-1:947438794401:cluster/eks-metaphacts with an explicit deny

Like I have been facing this challenge for the last couple of months and now I have come to know that this lab sucks, even EKS is listed in the Labs content but we can’t use that properly.
We use the test labs for testing, not for resolving the issue that doesn’t exist or was made by kodekloud themself. I can see that this issue is pending since last year and has not been resolved.

When creating the CloudFormation stack for the EKS cluster, what options should I use for Permissions?

I get this error when I click Submit after filling out the “Create stack” form.

Please help

Thanks. In the meantime, I will try to do a kubeadm installation in AWS after deploying the infrastructure with Terraform. I am using the Terraform+AWS playground.

Is there already a solution for this issue?

@mmkmou Is there any update on this issue? We’re almost in August and I’m still experiencing this issue. Is KodeKloud able to provide the explicit deny policy so we can figure out what limitations exist in the provided profile?

Hi @nicgeorge6

Please try as follows

You should be able to launch EKS with “Self-managed nodes ”. As of now “Managed Node-group” and “Fargate Profile” will not work with EKS.

Also, you need to keep in mind below restrictions as well.

  1. choose one of these instance types: *.nano, *micro, *.small, *.medium of t1,t2 and t3 instance class.
  2. choose disk type as “gp2” only.
  3. Maximum disk size per node allowed is 30GB.

In order to deploy EKS; it needs to meet all above criteria."

It’s unfortunate that we can’t use the full power of IaC tools in the playground. But I was able to create a cluster with self managed nodes using terraform. Hopefully someone will find it useful. The code is here: GitHub - admiralcap/tf-eks-self-managed-nodegroup

Is it still not possible to create managed nodegroups in kodekloud playground?
I created a role but that role is not accessible to be selected from the managed nodegroup creation menu.

Hi @ganeshgk,
Our community member has written steps to create an EKS cluster. Can you please check this once?

Regards,

yes, but it only has info about self managed nodes, my question was about managed node group.

Hi @ganeshgk,
Thanks for replying. I will check with the team.
