GitHub Actions for Amazon EKS Authentication with kubectl

This Action for Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) that saves a kubectl config with AWS credentials and warps the kubectl command.

Usage

A partial example workflow applying a configuration and verifying the deployment status.

workflow "Build and Deploy" {
  on = "push"
  resolves = ["Verify EKS Deployment"]
}
action "Deploy to EKS" {
  needs = ["Build and Push Containers"]
  uses = "actions/aws/kubectl@master"
  args = ["kubectl apply -f config.yml"]
  secrets = ["KUBE_CONFIG_DATA"]
}

action "Verify EKS Deployment" {
  needs = "Deploy to EKS"
  uses = "actions/aws/kubectl@master"
  args = ["rollout status deployment/aws-example-octodex"]
  secrets = ["KUBE_CONFIG_DATA"]
}

Secrets

• KUBE_CONFIG_DATA – Required A base64-encoded kubectl config file with credentials for Kubernetes to access the cluster. Example encoding from terminal : cat $HOME/.kube/config | base64. Note Do not use kubectl config view as this will hide the certificate-authority-data.
