A simple and flexible command-line tool for AWS EKS management

Prerequisites

  • Available AWS credentials (configured as boto3)

  • Heptio authenticator binary (Section To install heptio-authenticator-aws for Amazon EKS in AWS EKS User Guide)

  • [Optional] kubectl (1.10 and later) for kubernetes cluster operations

Quick Start

Installation

As easy as the standard python way by using pip.

$ pip install ekscli

Optionally, after installation, command-completion can be achieved with:

$ eval "$(_EKS_COMPLETE=source eks)"

Use ECKCLI

Note: AWS fees will be charged in your account for the AWS resources created by ekscli.

The simplest way to create a cluster by running ekscli with almost everything default.
This will create an EKS cluster including the control plane (managed master by AWS), a node group and a kubectl configuration file (KUBECONFIG or $HOME/.kube/config).
$ eks create cluster --name=dev

# EKS cluster name can be set as an environment variable
$ export EKS_CLUSTER_NAME=dev
$ eks create cluster

To create the EKS cluster’s control plane (master) only:

$ eks create cluster --name=dev --cp-only

To create the EKS cluster’s control plane (master) with existing subnets of a VPC, a predefined IAM role, an existing EC2 KeyPair etc.:

$ eks create cluster --name=dev --cp-only \
  --subnets=subnet-1234567,subnet-abcdef1 \
  --cp-role eks-default-role \
  --region us-west-2 \
  --kubconfig ./dev.conf \
  --heptio-auth /tmp/heptio-auth-aws \
  --keyname dev \
  --node-sg-ingress port=22,cidr=10.0.0.0/8 \
  --tags Env=dev,Project=eks-poc

The simplest way to create a node group

$ eks create node-group --name=dev --node-name=workers

To create a node group with more options

$ eks create node-group --name=dev --node-name=another \
  --node-role=eks-worker-s3 \
  --node-subnets=subnet-1234567 \
  --node-min=1 \
  --node-max=10
  --node-sg-ingress port=22,cidr=10.0.0.0/8 \
  --node-sg-ingress protocol=tcp,from=8080,to=8088,cidr=0.0.0.0/0 \
  --region us-west-2 \
  --kubconfig ./dev.conf \
  --heptio-auth /tmp/heptio-auth-aws \
  --keyname dev \
  --tags Env=dev,Project=eks-poc

Features

  • Simple and concise command line interface

  • Flexible configuration

  • Plain vanilla EKS cluster without unrequired resources running Kubernetes clusters

  • EKS resources managed by AWS CloudFormation

  • Command line auto-completion supported for Bash and Zsh

Roadmap

  • Output cluster information to different formats: yaml, json

  • Update the cluster and node groups

  • Create from templatable configuration files
