About:
clusterawsadm is a CLI utility that automates the setup and management of Cluster API Provider AWS (CAPA). It simplifies infrastructure provisioning by handling IAM policies, S3 bucket creation for machine images, and other cloud resource prerequisites. This tool is essential for operators deploying Kubernetes clusters on AWS using the Cluster API model.
Key Features:
  • Automates creation of required AWS IAM policies and roles
  • Generates CloudFormation templates for infrastructure setup
  • Manages EKS cluster provisioning and authentication
  • Handles AMI build and publication workflows
Use Cases:
  • Bootstrapping a new AWS account for Cluster API management
  • Provisioning EKS clusters via Cluster API
  • Building and publishing custom machine images (AMIs) for worker nodes
Alternatives:
  • eksctl – eksctl creates EKS clusters directly, while clusterawsadm configures AWS infrastructure specifically for the Cluster API ecosystem.
  • Terraform – Terraform is a general IaC tool, whereas clusterawsadm provides specialized, opinionated automation for CAPA prerequisites.
