AWS Node Termination Handler

AWS Node Termination Handler Helm chart for Kubernetes. For more information on this project see the project repo at github.com/aws/aws-node-termination-handler.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes >= v1.16

Installing the Chart

Before you can install the chart you will need to add the aws repo to Helm.

helm repo add eks https://aws.github.io/eks-charts/

After you've installed the repo you can install the chart, the following command will install the chart with the release name aws-node-termination-handler and the default configuration to the kube-system namespace.

helm upgrade --install --namespace kube-system aws-node-termination-handler eks/aws-node-termination-handler

To install the chart on an EKS cluster where the AWS Node Termination Handler is already installed, you can run the following command.

helm upgrade --install --namespace kube-system aws-node-termination-handler eks/aws-node-termination-handler --recreate-pods --force

If you receive an error similar to the one below simply rerun the above command.

Error: release aws-node-termination-handler failed: "aws-node-termination-handler" already exists

To uninstall the aws-node-termination-handler chart installation from the kube-system namespace run the following command.

helm delete --namespace kube-system aws-node-termination-handler

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the chart and their default values. These values are split up into the common configuration shared by all AWS Node Termination Handler modes, queue configuration used when AWS Node Termination Handler is in in queue-processor mode, and IMDS configuration used when AWS Node Termination Handler is in IMDS mode; for more information about the different modes see the project README.

Metrics Endpoint Considerations

AWS Node Termination HAndler in IMDS mode runs as a DaemonSet with useHostNetwork: true by default. If the Prometheus server is enabled with enablePrometheusServer: true nothing else will be able to bind to the configured port (by default prometheusServerPort: 9092) in the root network namespace. Therefore, it will need to have a firewall/security group configured on the nodes to block access to the /metrics endpoint.

You can switch NTH in IMDS mode to run w/ useHostNetwork: false, but you will need to make sure that IMDSv1 is enabled or IMDSv2 IP hop count will need to be incremented to 2 (see the IMDSv2 documentation.
