I am trying to expose a service to the outside world using the loadBalancer type service.
For that, i have followed this doc
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-kubernetes-services-cluster/
My loadbalancer.yaml looks like this
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-service
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: nginx
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
But the load balancer is not creating as expected I am getting the following error
Warning SyncLoadBalancerFailed 8s (x3 over 23s) service-controller Error syncing load balancer: failed to ensure load balancer: could not find any suitable subnets for creating the ELB
Seems like its because of some issues in the subnet tags to solve,but i have the required tags in my subnets
kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-name>. owned
kubernetes.io/role/elb 1
But still, I am getting the error could not find any suitable subnets for creating the ELB
By default AWS EKS only attaches load balancers to public subnets. In order to launch it in a private subnet you need to not only label your subnets (which it looks like you did) but also annotate your load balancer-
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"
You can find more information here.
For people that may reach this question, I have faced the same error, but the problem was really simple.
The tag with key kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-name> had the wrong cluster name as the automation that deployed it was wrong.
In EKS 1.16, I need internet-facing NLB.
The root cause in EKS is that you haven't selected a public subnet while creating the cluster.
After creating the cluster EKS will not allow to update subnets as of now here
To resolve the issue, I have performed the below steps
public subnet in the same vpc of EKSIGW in route tables in new created public subnetstags in public subnetskubernetes.io/cluster/<EKSClusterName> : sharedNote: In a 4th step, Replace your EKS cluster name in placeholder EKSClusterName
