AWS Node Termination Handler

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

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes >= 1.14

Installing the Chart

Add the EKS repository to Helm:

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

Install AWS Node Termination Handler:

To install the chart with the release name aws-node-termination-handler and default configuration:

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

To install into an EKS cluster where the Node Termination Handler is already installed, you can run:

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

If you receive an error similar to Error: release aws-node-termination-handler failed: <resource> "aws-node-termination-handler" already exists, simply rerun the above command.

The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the aws-node-termination-handler deployment:

helm delete --purge aws-node-termination-handler

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the chart and their default values.

AWS Node Termination Handler Common Configuration

The configuration in this table applies to both queue-processor mode and IMDS mode.

Parameter	Description	Default
deleteLocalData	Tells kubectl to continue even if there are pods using emptyDir (local data that will be deleted when the node is drained).	true
gracePeriod	(DEPRECATED: Renamed to podTerminationGracePeriod) The time in seconds given to each pod to terminate gracefully. If negative, the default value specified in the pod will be used, which defaults to 30 seconds if not specified.	-1
podTerminationGracePeriod	The time in seconds given to each pod to terminate gracefully. If negative, the default value specified in the pod will be used, which defaults to 30 seconds if not specified.	-1
nodeTerminationGracePeriod	Period of time in seconds given to each NODE to terminate gracefully. Node draining will be scheduled based on this value to optimize the amount of compute time, but still safely drain the node before an event.	120
ignoreDaemonSets	Causes kubectl to skip daemon set managed pods	true
instanceMetadataURL	The URL of EC2 instance metadata. This shouldn't need to be changed unless you are testing.	http://169.254.169.254:80
webhookURL	Posts event data to URL upon instance interruption action	``
webhookURLSecretName	Pass Webhook URL as a secret. Secret Key: webhookurl, Value: <WEBHOOK_URL>	None
webhookProxy	Uses the specified HTTP(S) proxy for sending webhooks	``
webhookHeaders	Replaces the default webhook headers.	{"Content-type":"application/json"}

workers	The maximum amount of parallel event processors	10
replicas	The number of replicas in the NTH deployment when using queue-processor mode (NOTE: increasing replicas may cause duplicate webhooks since NTH pods are stateless)	1

Metrics endpoint consideration

NTH in IMDS mode runs as a DaemonSet w/ host_networking=true by default. If the prometheus server is enabled, nothing else will be able to bind to the configured port (by default :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/ host_networking=false, but you will need to make sure that IMDSv1 is enabled or IMDSv2 IP hop count will need to be incremented to 2. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/configuring-instance-metadata-service.html
