The AWS Load Balancer Controller GruCLoud Module

The purpose of the module-aws-load-balancer-controller is to create the AWS resources require to run the AWS Load Balancer Controller.

Resources

• IamOpenIDConnectProvider: The Open ID Connect Provider, depends on EKS Cluster
• IamPolicy: The load balancer policy from load-balancer-policy.json
• IamRole: An IAM role attaching the load-balancer-policy, assuming role from the IamOpenIDConnectProvider

How to use this module

Install this module and its dependencies in your GruCloud project:

npm i @grucloud/module-aws-load-balancer-controller @grucloud/module-aws-vpc @grucloud/module-aws-eks @grucloud/provider-aws

In your iac.js, create a EKS Cluster module and pass the resource to ModuleAwsLoadBalancerController.createResources

// iac.js
const { AwsProvider } = require("@grucloud/provider-aws");
const ModuleAwsVpc = require("@grucloud/module-aws-vpc");
const ModuleAwsEks = require("@grucloud/module-aws-eks");
const ModuleAwsLoadBalancerController = require("@grucloud/module-aws-load-balancer-controller");

exports.createStack = async ({ createProvider }) => {
  const provider = createProvider(AwsProvider, {
    configs: [
      ModuleAwsEks.config,
      ModuleAwsVpc.config,
      ModuleAwsLoadBalancerController.config,
    ],
  });

  const resourceVpc = await ModuleAwsVpc.createResources({ provider });

  const resourceEks = await ModuleAwsEks.createResources({
    provider,
    resources: resourceVpc,
  });

  const resourceLbc = await ModuleAwsLoadBalancerController.createResources({
    provider,
    resources: resourceEks,
  });

  return {
    provider,
    resources: { vpb: resourceVpc, resourceEks, lbc: resourceLbc },
  };
};

The role balancer role is now available to the Kubernetes Service Account resource
