I am trying to host an application in AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service(EKS). I have configured the EKS cluster using the AWS Console. Configured the Node Group and added a Node to the EKS Cluster and everything is working fine.
In order to connect to the cluster, I had spin up an EC2 instance (Centos7) and configured the following:
1. Installed docker, kubeadm, kubelet and kubectl.
2. Installed and configured AWS Cli V2.
To authenticate to the EKS Cluster, I had attached an IAM role to the EC2 Instance having the following AWS managed policies:
1. AmazonEKSClusterPolicy
2. AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
3. AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly
4. AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
5. AmazonElasticContainerRegistryPublicReadOnly
6. EC2InstanceProfileForImageBuilderECRContainerBuilds
7. AmazonElasticContainerRegistryPublicFullAccess
8. AWSAppRunnerServicePolicyForECRAccess
9. AmazonElasticContainerRegistryPublicPowerUser
10. SecretsManagerReadWrite
After this, I ran the following commands to connect to the EKS Cluster:
1. aws sts get-caller-identity
2. aws eks update-kubeconfig --name eks-cluster --region ap-south-1
When I ran kubectl cluster-info and kubectl get nodes, I got the following:
However, when I try to run kubectl get namespaces I am getting the following error:
I am getting the same kind of error when I try to create Namespaces in the EKS cluster. Not sure what I'm missing here.
Error from server (Forbidden): error when creating "namespace.yml": namespaces is forbidden: User "system:node:ip-172-31-43-129.ap-south-1.compute.internal" cannot create resource "namespaces" in API group "" at the cluster scope
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue??
