EKS / Client / register_cluster

register_cluster#

EKS.Client.register_cluster(**kwargs)#

Connects a Kubernetes cluster to the Amazon EKS control plane.

Any Kubernetes cluster can be connected to the Amazon EKS control plane to view current information about the cluster and its nodes.

Cluster connection requires two steps. First, send a RegisterClusterRequest to add it to the Amazon EKS control plane.

Second, a Manifest containing the activationID and activationCode must be applied to the Kubernetes cluster through it’s native provider to provide visibility.

After the manifest is updated and applied, the connected cluster is visible to the Amazon EKS control plane. If the manifest isn’t applied within three days, the connected cluster will no longer be visible and must be deregistered using DeregisterCluster.

      • resourcesVpcConfig (dict) –

        The VPC configuration used by the cluster control plane. Amazon EKS VPC resources have specific requirements to work properly with Kubernetes. For more information, see Cluster VPC considerations and Cluster security group considerations in the Amazon EKS User Guide.

        • subnetIds (list) –

          The subnets associated with your cluster.

          • (string) –

        • securityGroupIds (list) –

          The security groups associated with the cross-account elastic network interfaces that are used to allow communication between your nodes and the Kubernetes control plane.

          • (string) –

        • clusterSecurityGroupId (string) –

          The cluster security group that was created by Amazon EKS for the cluster. Managed node groups use this security group for control-plane-to-data-plane communication.

        • vpcId (string) –

          The VPC associated with your cluster.

        • endpointPublicAccess (boolean) –

          Whether the public API server endpoint is enabled.

        • endpointPrivateAccess (boolean) –

          This parameter indicates whether the Amazon EKS private API server endpoint is enabled. If the Amazon EKS private API server endpoint is enabled, Kubernetes API requests that originate from within your cluster’s VPC use the private VPC endpoint instead of traversing the internet. If this value is disabled and you have nodes or Fargate pods in the cluster, then ensure that publicAccessCidrs includes the necessary CIDR blocks for communication with the nodes or Fargate pods. For more information, see Amazon EKS cluster endpoint access control in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

        • publicAccessCidrs (list) –

          The CIDR blocks that are allowed access to your cluster’s public Kubernetes API server endpoint.

        The Kubernetes network configuration for the cluster.

        • serviceIpv4Cidr (string) –

          The CIDR block that Kubernetes Pod and Service object IP addresses are assigned from. Kubernetes assigns addresses from an IPv4 CIDR block assigned to a subnet that the node is in. If you didn’t specify a CIDR block when you created the cluster, then Kubernetes assigns addresses from either the 10.100.0.0/16 or 172.20.0.0/16 CIDR blocks. If this was specified, then it was specified when the cluster was created and it can’t be changed.

        • serviceIpv6Cidr (string) –

          The CIDR block that Kubernetes pod and service IP addresses are assigned from if you created a 1.21 or later cluster with version 1.10.1 or later of the Amazon VPC CNI add-on and specified ipv6 for ipFamily when you created the cluster. Kubernetes assigns service addresses from the unique local address range ( fc00::/7) because you can’t specify a custom IPv6 CIDR block when you create the cluster.

        • ipFamily (string) –

          The IP family used to assign Kubernetes Pod and Service objects IP addresses. The IP family is always ipv4, unless you have a 1.21 or later cluster running version 1.10.1 or later of the Amazon VPC CNI plugin for Kubernetes and specified ipv6 when you created the cluster.

        • elasticLoadBalancing (dict) –

          Indicates the current configuration of the load balancing capability on your EKS Auto Mode cluster. For example, if the capability is enabled or disabled.

          • enabled (boolean) –

            Indicates if the load balancing capability is enabled on your EKS Auto Mode cluster. If the load balancing capability is enabled, EKS Auto Mode will create and delete load balancers in your Amazon Web Services account.

              • (string) –

            • enabled (boolean) –

              If a log type is enabled, that log type exports its control plane logs to CloudWatch Logs. If a log type isn’t enabled, that log type doesn’t export its control plane logs. Each individual log type can be enabled or disabled independently.

      • identity (dict) –

        The identity provider information for the cluster.

        • oidc (dict) –

          An object representing the OpenID Connect identity provider information.

            Enter one or more IPv4 CIDR blocks in decimal dotted-quad notation (for example, 10.2.0.0/16).

            It must satisfy the following requirements:
