I've created a Kubernetes cluster with AWS ec2 instances using kubeadm but when I try to create a service with type LoadBalancer I get an EXTERNAL-IP pending status
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 123m
nginx LoadBalancer 10.107.199.170 <pending> 8080:31579/TCP 45m52s
My create command is
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port 8080 --target-port 80 --type=LoadBalancer
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
What I expect to see is an EXTERNAL-IP address given for the load balancer.
Has anyone had this and successfully solved it, please?
Thanks.
You need to setup the interface between k8s and AWS which is aws-cloud-provider-controller.
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: InitConfiguration
nodeRegistration:
kubeletExtraArgs:
cloud-provider: aws
More details can be found:
Once you finish this setup, you will have the luxury to control not only the creation of AWS LB for each k8s service with type LoadBalancer.. But also , you will be able to control many things using annotations.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: example
namespace: kube-system
labels:
run: example
annotations:
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: arn:aws:acm:xx-xxxx-x:xxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxx/xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx #replace this value
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: http
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- port: 443
targetPort: 5556
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: example
Different settings can be applied to a load balancer service in AWS using annotations.
