@grucloud/module-k8s-aws-load-balancer-controller v13.2.4

GruCloud Module for the AWS Load Balancer Controller on Kubernetes

Integrate the Aws Load Balancer Controller with GruCloud.

How to use this module

See a simple example.

This module is also used to deploy a full starter kit

Dependecencies

This module depends on the cert-manager which install Custom Resource Definition, aka CRD

Update manifest version

Eventually edit the manifest version in the package.json at the field .scripts.download-manifest.

Download the manifest file locally

npm run download-manifest

Code Generation

The load balancer controler manifest is transformed into javascript code using the k8s-manifest2code tool:

npm run gen-code

This commands creates the resource.js file containing all the resources.

Post Edit: Cluster name

Modify the generated resource.js in 2 places:

• Specify the cluster name for the LoadBalancerController Deployment
• Add the AWS Load Balancer Role as a dependencies of LoadBalancerController ServiceAccount. This will link the k8s Serive Account to the Load Balancer AWS IAM Role.
