kube-aws is a command-line tool for declaratively creating, updating, and destroying Kubernetes clusters on AWS using CloudFormation. The project is end-of-life and has been archived; development continues in a community fork.
Use cases
- provision a kubernetes cluster on aws from the command line
- manage kubernetes cluster lifecycle with cloudformation
- deploy a highly available kubernetes cluster on ec2
- declaratively define and update kubernetes infrastructure on aws
- destroy and recreate kubernetes clusters on aws
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy deployment already built with kube-aws
- you need a CloudFormation-based Kubernetes provisioner and accept an unmaintained tool
- you want to study how Kubernetes clusters were bootstrapped on AWS
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Kubernetes project on AWS - use kops, eksctl, or Terraform instead
- you need security patches or support for current Kubernetes versions
- you require an actively maintained tool with community support
