Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)¶

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to stand up or maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Airflow provides operators to create and interact with the EKS clusters and compute infrastructure.

Prerequisite Tasks¶

To use these operators, you must do a few things:

Create necessary resources using AWS Console or AWS CLI.
Install API libraries via pip.
pip install 'apache-airflow[amazon]'
Detailed information is available Installation of Airflow®
Setup Connection.

Operators¶

Create an Amazon EKS cluster¶

To create an Amazon EKS Cluster you can use EksCreateClusterOperator.

Note: An AWS IAM role with the following permissions is required:: eks.amazonaws.com must be added to the Trusted Relationships AmazonEKSClusterPolicy IAM Policy must be attached

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroups.py

# Create an Amazon EKS Cluster control plane without attaching compute service.
create_cluster = EksCreateClusterOperator(
    task_id="create_cluster",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
    cluster_role_arn=test_context[ROLE_ARN_KEY],
    resources_vpc_config={"subnetIds": test_context[SUBNETS_KEY]},
    compute=None,
)

Create an Amazon EKS cluster and node group in one step¶

To create an Amazon EKS cluster and an EKS managed node group in one command, you can use EksCreateClusterOperator.

Note: An AWS IAM role with the following permissions is required:: ec2.amazon.aws.com must be in the Trusted Relationships eks.amazonaws.com must be added to the Trusted Relationships AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly IAM Policy must be attached AmazonEKSClusterPolicy IAM Policy must be attached AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy IAM Policy must be attached

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroup_in_one_step.py

# Create an Amazon EKS cluster control plane and an EKS nodegroup compute platform in one step.
create_cluster_and_nodegroup = EksCreateClusterOperator(
    task_id="create_cluster_and_nodegroup",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
    nodegroup_name=nodegroup_name,
    cluster_role_arn=test_context[ROLE_ARN_KEY],
    # Opting to use the same ARN for the cluster and the nodegroup here,
    # but a different ARN could be configured and passed if desired.
    nodegroup_role_arn=test_context[ROLE_ARN_KEY],
    resources_vpc_config={"subnetIds": test_context[SUBNETS_KEY]},
    # ``compute='nodegroup'`` is the default, explicitly set here for demo purposes.
    compute="nodegroup",
    # The launch template enforces IMDSv2 and is required for internal
    # compliance when running these system tests on AWS infrastructure.
    create_nodegroup_kwargs={"launchTemplate": {"name": launch_template_name}},
)

Create an Amazon EKS cluster and AWS Fargate profile in one step¶

To create an Amazon EKS cluster and an AWS Fargate profile in one command, you can use EksCreateClusterOperator. You can also run this operator in deferrable mode by setting deferrable param to True.

Note: An AWS IAM role with the following permissions is required:: ec2.amazon.aws.com must be in the Trusted Relationships eks.amazonaws.com must be added to the Trusted Relationships AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly IAM Policy must be attached AmazonEKSClusterPolicy IAM Policy must be attached AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy IAM Policy must be attached

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_fargate_in_one_step.py

# Create an Amazon EKS cluster control plane and an AWS Fargate compute platform in one step.
create_cluster_and_fargate_profile = EksCreateClusterOperator(
    task_id="create_eks_cluster_and_fargate_profile",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
    cluster_role_arn=cluster_role_arn,
    resources_vpc_config={
        "subnetIds": subnets,
        "endpointPublicAccess": True,
        "endpointPrivateAccess": False,
    },
    compute="fargate",
    fargate_profile_name=fargate_profile_name,
    # Opting to use the same ARN for the cluster and the pod here,
    # but a different ARN could be configured and passed if desired.
    fargate_pod_execution_role_arn=fargate_pod_role_arn,
)

Delete an Amazon EKS Cluster¶

To delete an existing Amazon EKS Cluster you can use EksDeleteClusterOperator. You can also run this operator in deferrable mode by setting deferrable param to True.

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroups.py

delete_cluster = EksDeleteClusterOperator(
    task_id="delete_cluster",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
)

Note: If the cluster has any attached resources, such as an Amazon EKS Nodegroup or AWS: Fargate profile, the cluster can not be deleted. Using the force parameter will attempt to delete any attached resources first.

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroup_in_one_step.py

# An Amazon EKS cluster can not be deleted with attached resources such as nodegroups or Fargate profiles.
# Setting the `force` to `True` will delete any attached resources before deleting the cluster.
delete_nodegroup_and_cluster = EksDeleteClusterOperator(
    task_id="delete_nodegroup_and_cluster",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
    force_delete_compute=True,
)

Create an Amazon EKS managed node group¶

To create an Amazon EKS managed node group you can use EksCreateNodegroupOperator. You can also run this operator in deferrable mode by setting deferrable param to True.

Note: An AWS IAM role with the following permissions is required:: ec2.amazon.aws.com must be in the Trusted Relationships AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly IAM Policy must be attached AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy IAM Policy must be attached

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroups.py

create_nodegroup = EksCreateNodegroupOperator(
    task_id="create_nodegroup",
    cluster_name=cluster_name,
    nodegroup_name=nodegroup_name,
    nodegroup_subnets=test_context[SUBNETS_KEY],

To run a pod on an existing Amazon EKS Cluster, you can use EksPodOperator.

Note: An Amazon EKS Cluster with underlying compute infrastructure is required.

amazon/tests/system/amazon/aws/example_eks_with_nodegroups.py

start_pod = EksPodOperator(
    task_id="start_pod",
    pod_name="test_pod",
