km

Km is a thin wrapper for kubectl which helps with the EKS kubeconfig management. Any other command will be proxied to kubectl so km command can be used in the same way as kubectl.

Check km -h for all the available options.

Tested with EKS access via iam assume role with/without MFA enabled.

Breaking changes from v0.0.1-beta4 to v0.0.1-beta5

• the clusters secured with MFA will need to be re-added using the --mfa-profile flag (check the examples below). This change will allow the management of the clusters without MFA including non AWS EKS cluster.

Demo

Requirements

• aws-iam-authenticator (eks clusters only)
• jq
• awscli >= 1.16 (configured like on the example, eks clusters only)
• kubectl >= 1.15
• yubikey, ykman (optional)
• gnu-sed, gnu-grep (MacOS)
• fzf

Installation

MacOS requirements

brew install fzf
brew install grep
brew install gnu-sed

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cststack/km/master/bin/km -o /usr/local/bin/km
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/km

Features

• multiple EKS clusters can be configured. If they have the same name they can be assigned aliases.
• context change for the cluster and the namespace (fzf is required for this)
• run any kubectl commands via km
• if ykman is installed and the Yubikey is plugged there is no need to input the MFA token at all. Make sure the --mfa-profile matches the profile used for authentication in ykman.

Examples

Add new EKS cluster

With iam-role resolved from ~/.aws/credentials from the aws_profile

km add --region eu-west-1 --profile aws_profile --cluster-name aws-eks-eu-west-1 --cluster-alias eks-dev

With iam-role

km add --region eu-west-1 --profile aws_profile --cluster-name aws-eks-eu-west-1 --cluster-alias eks-dev --iam-role arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/EksRole

With iam-role resolved from ~/.aws/credentials from the aws_profile and MFA

km add --region eu-west-1 --profile aws_profile --cluster-name aws-eks-eu-west-1 --cluster-alias eks-dev --mfa-profile mfaProfileName/myAwsSsoProfile

With iam-role and MFA

km add --region eu-west-1 --profile aws_profile --cluster-name aws-eks-eu-west-1 --cluster-alias eks-dev --iam-role arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/EksRole  --mfa-profile mfaProfileName/myAwsSsoProfile

Import a KUBECONFIG file.

km --import-kubeconfig pathToKubeConfigFile

The usual kubectl commands should be used to clear any cluster config from kubeconfig.

AWS credentials file

[default]
region = eu-west-1
aws_access_key_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

region = eu-west-1
source_profile = default
mfa_serial = arn:aws:iam::000000000000:mfa/AWS_USERNAME

or
