WSAmazon EKS Pod Identity

AWS EKS just got a SUPERPOWER 👇

A power to easily configure IAM permissions to Pods in EKS cluster.

This will allow pods to talk to other AWS services (Example S3) with happiness 🤠

And the new feature is called “Amazon EKS Pod Identity”.

Goal: [From below picture]

Access AWS S3 from pods inside EKS cluster.

The key steps:

∙ Create appropriate IAM role.
∙ Install Amazon EKS Pod Identity Agent on EKS. (STEP 1)
∙ Map IAM role, namespace and service account with pod identity association (STEP 2 & 3)
∙ Deploy pod using that service account on same namespace (STEP 4)
∙ Pod will have have access to AWS S3 (STEP 5)

That’s it for today.
