:
Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) is a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters. For more Information
This deployment includes the following critical components:
For installation instructions, visit the EBS CSI Driver Install Guide.
To deploy using Helm charts, you can use the following command. This command overrides the default image to use the Chainguard image
Refer to the values.yaml file for more configuration options.
To test the EBS CSI driver functionality and verify its deployment, we need to create and deploy an EKS cluster. Similarly, for testing kube-components, we can create and deploy a KOPS cluster and update the manifests accordingly.
Using the Chainguard Pause image requires changing the containerd configuration on the EKS nodes. If you've SSH access to the underlying nodes of the cluster, then you can edit the containerd configuration file directly. If you don't have access to the nodes then you can use a plugin called kubectl-node-shell
In containerd configuration, the default sandbox_image
needs to be replaced with the Chainguard pause image. Use the editor of your choice to replace the default pause image with the Chainguard pause image which is cgr.dev/chainguard/eks-distro-kubernetes-pause:latest
.
To replace the default pause image with the Chainguard pause image, you need to edit the containerd config file on the node.
After this, restart the containerd service:
Checking the list of containers using the ctr
command will show the pause container with the Chainguard pause image.
