Module: eks-iam-role

This terraform-aws-eks-iam-role project provides a simplified mechanism for provisioning AWS EKS Service Account IAM roles.

Usage

Here's how to invoke this module in your projects

module "eks_iam_role" {
source = "cloudposse/eks-iam-role/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"

namespace = var.namespace
environment = var.environment
stage = var.stage
name = var.name
delimiter = var.delimiter
attributes = var.attributes
tags = var.tags

aws_account_number = local.account_id
eks_cluster_oidc_issuer_url = module.eks_cluster.eks_cluster_identity_oidc_issuer

# Create a role for the service account named `autoscaler` in the Kubernetes namespace `kube-system`
service_account_name = "autoscaler"
service_account_namespace = "kube-system"
# JSON IAM policy document to assign to the service account role
aws_iam_policy_document = [data.aws_iam_policy_document.autoscaler.json]
}

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "autoscaler" {
statement {
sid = "AllowToScaleEKSNodeGroupAutoScalingGroup"

actions = [
"ec2:DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions",
"autoscaling:TerminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup",
"autoscaling:SetDesiredCapacity",
"autoscaling:DescribeTags",
"autoscaling:DescribeLaunchConfigurations",
"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingInstances",
"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups"
]

effect = "Allow"
resources = ["*"]
}
}

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
additional_tag_mapAdditional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string){}no
attributesID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string)[]no
aws_account_numberAWS account number of EKS cluster owner. If an AWS account number is not provided, the current aws provider account number will be used.stringnullno
aws_iam_policy_documentJSON string representation of the IAM policy for this service account as list of string (0 or 1 items).
If empty, no custom IAM policy document will be used. If the list contains a single document, a custom
IAM policy will be created and attached to the IAM role.
Can also be a plain string, but that use is DEPRECATED because of Terraform issues.
any[]no
aws_partitionAWS partition: 'aws', 'aws-cn', or 'aws-us-gov'string"aws"no
contextSingle object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

no
delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
stringnullno
descriptor_formatsDescribe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).
any{}no
eks_cluster_oidc_issuer_urlOIDC issuer URL for the EKS cluster (initial "https://" may be omitted)stringn/ayes
enabledSet to false to prevent the module from creating any resourcesboolnullno
environmentID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'stringnullno
id_length_limitLimit id to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to 0 for unlimited length.
Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0.
Does not affect id_full.
numbernullno
label_key_caseControls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
stringnullno
label_orderThe order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string)nullno
label_value_caseControls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.
stringnullno
labels_as_tagsSet of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
set(string)
[
"default"
]
no
nameID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.
The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.
stringnullno
namespaceID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally uniquestringnullno
permissions_boundaryARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.stringnullno
regex_replace_charsTerraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
stringnullno
service_account_nameKubernetes ServiceAccount name.
Leave empty or set to "*" to indicate all Service Accounts, or if using service_account_namespace_name_list.
stringnullno
service_account_namespaceKubernetes Namespace where service account is deployed. Leave empty or set to "*" to indicate all Namespaces,
or if using service_account_namespace_name_list.
stringnullno
service_account_namespace_name_listList of namespace:name for service account assume role IAM policy if you need more than one. May include wildcards.list(string)[]no
stageID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release'stringnullno
tagsAdditional tags (e.g. {'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.
