AWS Kubernetes (EKS) SDN connector

AWS SDN connectors support dynamic address groups based on AWS Kubernetes (EKS) filters.

To filter out the Kubernetes IP addresses, the following address filters have been introduced:

k8s_cluster	Name of Kubernetes cluster.
k8s_namespace	Namespace of a Kubernetes service or pod.
k8s_svcname	Name of a Kubernetes service.
k8s_nodename	Name of a Kubernetes node.
k8s_zone	Zone of a Kubernetes node.
k8s_region	Region of a Kubernetes node.
k8s_podname	Name of a Kubernetes pod.
k8s_label.xxx	Name of label of a Kubernetes resource (cluster/service/node/Pod).

To enable an AWS SDN connector to fetch IP addresses from AWS Kubernetes:

1. In Fabric Connectors, configure an SDN connector for AWS Kubernetes.

   

2. Go to Policies & Objects > Addresses and create a dynamic firewall address for the configured SDN connector using the supported Kubernetes filter.
3. To filter out the Kubernetes IP addresses, select the address filter or filters.

   

4. Configure the rest of the settings, then click OK.

   The dynamic firewall address IP is resolved by the SDN connector.

   

To configure an AWS Kubernetes SDN connector through the CLI:

1. Configure an SDN connector for Kubernetes:

   config system sdn-connector

   edit "aws1"

   set type aws

   set access-key "AKIAIJNKE75ANVN5AEQA"

   set secret-key xxxxx

   set region "us-west-2"

   set update-interval 30

   next

   end

2. Create a dynamic firewall address for the SDN connector with a supported Kubernetes filter:

   config firewall address

   edit "aws-pod"

   set type dynamic

   set sdn "aws1"

   set filter "K8S_PodName=aws-node-g6zhx"

   next

   end

   The dynamic firewall address IP is resolved by the SDN connector:

   config firewall address

   edit "aws-pod"

   set uuid a7a37298-19e6-51e9-851a-2c551ffc174d

   set type dynamic

   set sdn "aws1"

   set filter "K8S_PodName=aws-node-g6zhx"

   config list

   edit "192.168.114.197"

   next

   end

   next

   end
