In this post, we explore how to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere, supported by HashiCorp Vault PKI, to facilitate joining EKS Hybrid Nodes to an Amazon EKS Cluster. This solution enables businesses to flexibly make use of compute resources outside of AWS by extending an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) data plane beyond the AWS Cloud boundary, addressing use cases focused on data sovereignty, low latency communication, and regulatory compliance.

In this post, we explore how to manage EKS Pod Identity associations at scale using Argo CD and AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), addressing the critical challenge of the eventually consistent EKS Pod Identity API. The guide demonstrates automation techniques to ensure proper IAM role associations before application deployment, maintaining GitOps workflows while preventing permission-related failures.
