Connecting an AWS Kubernetes cluster to Bunnyshell

Introduction

Bunnyshell makes it easy to connect an AWS EKS cluster to your Organization, deploy your application on it, and manage environments.

PREREQUISITES FOR CONNECTING THE CLUSTER

• You have a Bunnyshell account

• You have created an Organization.

• You have a functioning AWS Kubernetes cluster

Detailed instructions on how you can create an AWS Kubernetes cluster are available below:

• Creating a Kubernetes cluster using the AWS CLI and eksctl

• Creating a Kubernetes cluster using the AWS web console

Connecting an AWS Kubernetes cluster

1. Go to the Bunnyshell website.

2. Click Integrations on the left-side menu.

3. Click Kubernetes clusters on the left side of the main interface.

4. Click Connect cluster.

5. Select Amazon Web Services.

6. A new window should pop-up now. When establishing the connection, Bunnyshell will ask for the following credentials:

• Cluster name: Choose what name your cluster will have in Bunnyshell.

• AWS Cluster name:

  • You can find it in the Config File at clusters -> cluster -> name.

  • In the AWS Console, it can be found in the title of the AWS page.

• Cluster URL:

  • Specified at clusters -> cluster -> server.

  • In the AWS Console, it corresponds to the API server endpoint from AWS.

• Certificate:

  • Copy and paste the text from clusters -> cluster -> certificate-authority-data.

  • In the AWS Console, it corresponds to the Certificate authority field from AWS.

• Access Key ID and Secret Access Key: These two credentials are needed to programmatically obtain a token for cluster access.

  • These can be found in the ~/.aws/credentials file after you have run the aws configure command.

  • Alternatively, you can set up access to your cluster following these steps. Make sure you have a user to connect with.
