# cloud-provider-aws
The AWS cloud provider provides the interface between a Kubernetes cluster and AWS service APIs. This project allows a Kubernetes cluster to provision, monitor and remove resources necessary for operation of the cluster.

## Flags
The flag `--cloud-provider=external` needs to be passed to kubelet, kube-apiserver, and kube-controller-manager. You should not pass the --cloud-provider flag to `aws-cloud-controller-manager`.

## IAM Policy
For the aws-cloud-controller-manager to be able to communicate to AWS APIs, you will need to create a few IAM policies for your EC2 instances. The master policy is a bit open and can be scaled back depending on the use case. Adjust these based on your needs.

1. Master Policy

```
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [

"iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole",
"kms:DescribeKey"
],
"Resource": [
"*"
]
},
]
}
```
2. Node Policy

```
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:DescribeInstances",
"ec2:DescribeRegions",
"ecr:GetAuthorizationToken",
"ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability",
"ecr:GetDownloadUrlForLayer",
"ecr:GetRepositoryPolicy",
"ecr:DescribeRepositories",
"ecr:ListImages",
"ecr:BatchGetImage"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
```

## Proper Node Names
The cloud provider currently uses the instance private DNS name as the node name, but this is subject to change in the future.

### NOTE
Currently the implementation of the cloud provider is found in https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/pkg/cloudprovider/providers/aws, and vendored into this repository. In the future, the implementation will be migrated here and out of Kubernetes core.
