# AWS EKS

# Platform configuration

In this section we go through the properties you need to define if your kubernetes runs on AWS.

  platform:
    kubernetes: eks
    s3: s3

As aws is the default provider value, you need to adjust the platform.kubernetes value to eks.
If you want to use AWS S3 storage, set the value of platform.s3 property to aws.

NOTE: For the other platform configuration properties, please consult the platform configuration section.

# AWS specific configuration

In the aws section of config.yml, define the AWS related properties:

  aws:
    eks:
      region: eks-region
      access_key: eks-access-key
      secret_key: eks-secret-key
    s3:
      region: s3-region
      access_key: s3-access-key
      secret_key: s3-secret-key
    volume_snapshots: # optional, only required if platform.kubernetes is set to "eks"
      access_key: volume-access-key
      secret_key: volume-secret-key
      region: volume-region

aws.eks.region is optional. The default value is eu-central-1.
aws.eks.access_key is required if you defined aws as your kubernetes provider.
aws.eks.secret_key is required if you defined aws as your kubernetes provider.
aws.s3.region is optional. The default value is eu-central-1.
aws.s3.access_key is required if you defined aws as your storage provider.
aws.s3.secret_key is required if you defined aws as your storage provider.
