We sometimes have different K8S clusters managed or created by different providers such as EKS, AKS, GKE, Kudeadm etc. Would be great to know the provider ID either for automation or debugging purposes.
I have 2 clusters one managed by EKS and another created by Kubeadm. Let’s take a look at how they configure provider ids.
Provider ID from EKS.
Clearly it is AWS. You should observe something similar for GKE & AKS.
Note: Have masked Node Name on Purpose.
Provider ID from Kubeadm
kubeadm does not set provider id by default. One needs to configure as part of setup process as described in URL below.
