EKS - Amazon Elastic Kubernetes service onboarding

Mavvrik supports two ways to connect an EKS cluster, as shown in the Connect EKS Cluster screen:

• Allocation-Based – recommended when you want quick onboarding and cost allocation visibility without deep cluster telemetry.

• Appliance-Based – recommended when you need deeper telemetry and more detailed Kubernetes insights.

Steps to onboard the EKS cluster(Appliance based)

Before onboarding your EKS account, you must have the admin rights on the cluster that you want to onboard and follow the steps below

Step 1: Enable Cost Allocation Tags

1. Access the AWS Portal, then search for and select Billing and Cost Management.

   

2. Navigate to Cost Allocation Tags and select AWS-generated cost allocation tags.

   

3. Search aws:eks:cluster-name & aws:autoscaling:groupName and enable the tag.

Step-2: Install Kubectl and Helm.

1. Login to AWS console where EKS clusters are created

2. Click on Cloud Shell on top right corner

3. Select the cluster you wanna onboard by running the command below. Replace 'your-cluster-name' with the name of the specific cluster you want to onboard.

   CODE

   aws eks update-kubeconfig --region us-east-1 --name dx-enteryourclustername

4. If kubctl and helm are installed then skip the below steps and perform https://help.mavvrik.ai/content/eks-amazon-elastic-kubernetes-service-onboarding#EKS-AmazonElasticKubernetesserviceonboarding-Step-3:StepstoperforminMavvrik

   1. Steps to install kubectl

      CODE

      #macOS
      brew install kubectl
      
      #Windows
      winget install Kubernetes.kubectl
      
      #Linux
      curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
      chmod +x kubectl
      sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/

   2. Steps to install helm

      CODE

      brew install helm   # macOS
      winget install Helm.Helm  # Windows

Step-3 : Steps to perform in Mavvrik

1. Go to the Menu

2. Click on Admin → Kubernetes

   

3. Click on the EKS tab

4. Click on Connect > Appliance based

5. Enter your Prometheus URL
   

Steps to get Prometheus URL

1. Capture the Prometheus URL associated with the K8s cluster:

a. Enter the following URL in Mavvrik UI

CODE

http://<prometheus-server-name>.<namespace>:<prometheus-internal-port>

b. To find the Prometheus service, run the following command in Kubernetes shell

CODE

kubectl get svc -n prometheus

2. In URL Replace prometheus-server-name,namespace & prometheus-internal-port with your data

3. The following screenshot shows an example of a URL
   

   

6. Copy the mavvrik UI Step-4 Kubernetes Shell command and run it in aws console cloudshell

7. After executing the command the Kubernetes appliance will be installed.

8. Click on the Connect button in Mavvrik.
