Terraform module to ease deployment of the AWS ALB Ingress Controller

Terraform module: AWS ALB Ingress Controller installation

This Terraform module can be used to install the AWS ALB Ingress Controller into a Kubernetes cluster.

Improved integration with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

This module can be used to install the ALB Ingress controller into a "vanilla" Kubernetes cluster (which is the default) or it can be used to integrate tightly with AWS-managed EKS clusters which allows the deployed pods to use IAM roles for service accounts.

It is required, that an OpenID connect provider has already been created for your EKS cluster for this feature to work.

Just make sure that you set the variable k8s_cluster_type to eks type if running on EKS.

Examples

EKS deployment

To deploy the AWS ALB Ingress Controller into an EKS cluster, the following snippet might be used.

locals {
   # Your AWS EKS Cluster ID goes here.
  "k8s_cluster_name" = "my-k8s-cluster"
}

data "aws_region" "current" {}

data "aws_eks_cluster" "target" {
  name = local.k8s_cluster_name
}

data "aws_eks_cluster_auth" "aws_iam_authenticator" {
  name = data.aws_eks_cluster.target.name
}

provider "kubernetes" {
  alias = "eks"
  host                   = data.aws_eks_cluster.target.endpoint
  cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.aws_eks_cluster.target.certificate_authority[0].data)
  token                  = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.aws_iam_authenticator.token
  load_config_file       = false
}

module "alb_ingress_controller" {
  source  = "iplabs/alb-ingress-controller/kubernetes"
  version = "3.4.0"

  providers = {
    kubernetes = "kubernetes.eks"
  }

  k8s_cluster_type = "eks"
  k8s_namespace    = "kube-system"

  aws_region_name  = data.aws_region.current.name
  k8s_cluster_name = data.aws_eks_cluster.target.name
}
