Description

Creates an EKS Pod Identity association between a service account in an Amazon EKS cluster and an IAM role with EKS Pod Identity. Use EKS Pod Identity to give temporary IAM credentials to Pods and the credentials are rotated automatically. Amazon EKS Pod Identity associations provide the ability to manage credentials for your applications, similar to the way that Amazon EC2 instance profiles provide credentials to Amazon EC2 instances. If a Pod uses a service account that has an association, Amazon EKS sets environment variables in the containers of the Pod. The environment variables configure the Amazon Web Services SDKs, including the Command Line Interface, to use the EKS Pod Identity credentials. EKS Pod Identity is a simpler method than IAM roles for service accounts, as this method doesn't use OIDC identity providers. Additionally, you can configure a role for EKS Pod Identity once, and reuse it across clusters. Similar to Amazon Web Services IAM behavior, EKS Pod Identity associations are eventually consistent, and may take several seconds to be effective after the initial API call returns successfully. You must design your applications to account for these potential delays. We recommend that you don’t include association create/updates in the critical, high-availability code paths of your application. Instead, make changes in a separate initialization or setup routine that you run less frequently. You can set a target IAM role in the same or a different account for advanced scenarios. With a target role, EKS Pod Identity automatically performs two role assumptions in sequence: first assuming the role in the association that is in this account, then using those credentials to assume the target IAM role. This process provides your Pod with temporary credentials that have the permissions defined in the target role, allowing secure access to resources in another Amazon Web Services account.

Parameters

Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-DisableSessionTag <Boolean>
Disable the automatic sessions tags that are appended by EKS Pod Identity.EKS Pod Identity adds a pre-defined set of session tags when it assumes the role. You can use these tags to author a single role that can work across resources by allowing access to Amazon Web Services resources based on matching tags. By default, EKS Pod Identity attaches six tags, including tags for cluster name, namespace, and service account name. For the list of tags added by EKS Pod Identity, see List of session tags added by EKS Pod Identity in the Amazon EKS User Guide.Amazon Web Services compresses inline session policies, managed policy ARNs, and session tags into a packed binary format that has a separate limit. If you receive a PackedPolicyTooLarge error indicating the packed binary format has exceeded the size limit, you can attempt to reduce the size by disabling the session tags added by EKS Pod Identity.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesDisableSessionTags
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Namespace <String>
The name of the Kubernetes namespace inside the cluster to create the EKS Pod Identity association in. The service account and the Pods that use the service account must be in this namespace.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-RoleArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role to associate with the service account. The EKS Pod Identity agent manages credentials to assume this role for applications in the containers in the Pods that use this service account.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Association'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EKS.Model.CreatePodIdentityAssociationResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.EKS.Model.CreatePodIdentityAssociationResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ServiceAccount <String>
The name of the Kubernetes service account inside the cluster to associate the IAM credentials with.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Hashtable>
Metadata that assists with categorization and organization. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both. Tags don't propagate to any other cluster or Amazon Web Services resources.The following basic restrictions apply to tags:
  • Maximum number of tags per resource – 50
  • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.
  • Maximum key length – 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • Maximum value length – 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8
  • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.
  • Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.
  • Do not use aws:, AWS:, or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.
Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags
-TargetRoleArn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the target IAM role to associate with the service account. This role is assumed by using the EKS Pod Identity association role, then the credentials for this role are injected into the Pod.When you run applications on Amazon EKS, your application might need to access Amazon Web Services resources from a different role that exists in the same or different Amazon Web Services account. For example, your application running in “Account A” might need to access resources, such as Amazon S3 buckets in “Account B” or within “Account A” itself. You can create a association to access Amazon Web Services resources in “Account B” by creating two IAM roles: a role in “Account A” and a role in “Account B” (which can be the same or different account), each with the necessary trust and permission policies. After you provide these roles in the IAM role and Target IAM role fields, EKS will perform role chaining to ensure your application gets the required permissions. This means Role A will assume Role B, allowing your Pods to securely access resources like S3 buckets in the target account.
