EKS: Your current user or role does not have access to Kubernetes objects on this EKS cluster.

August 20, 2021

When you install EKS for the first time, you receive the following message in the AWS Console UI.

Your current user or role does not have access to Kubernetes objects on this EKS cluster. This may be due to the current user or role not having Kubernetes RBAC permissions to describe cluster resources or not having an entry in the cluster’s auth config map.

This happen because your AWS user account doesn't have access to the Kubernetes control plane.

Schedule pods to start and stop in Kubernetes by date and time

June 24, 2021

Kubernetes by default doesn't provide this feature but you can use Another Autoscaler controller for that.

We are using this tool in my company to save some money on the Kubernetes clusters with GPU instances (P2 and G4DN); Developers using these types of instances generally use them during working hours, so we can terminate pods after working hours and our Cluster Autoscaler will scale-down instances that are idle.

Kubernetes: Wait until another pod is ready

November 2, 2020

The idea is to wait inside an init-container until the health check is successful. The health check, in this case, is the HTTP response code equal to 200.

  • This init-container will continue after the service returns 200.
  • If the init-container doesn't complete, the container will not be executed.
initContainers:
- name: wait-for-webserver
  image: curlimages/curl:latest
  command: ["/bin/sh","-c"]
  args: ["while [ $(curl -sw '%{http_code}' http://webserver.svc.cluster.local -o /dev/null) -ne 200 ]; do sleep 5; echo 'Waiting for the webserver...'; done"]
