The aws-auth submodule for the aws/eks module no longer validates

The aws-auth submodule for the aws/eks module no longer validates

[bryantbiggs]

that is not true - its no longer in the root module, you need to define a new sub-module definition to use that

[zenbones]

First, thank you for the response. The docs should probably be updated... And not to be too dense, but by submodule definition, I should insert something like...

module "eks" {
  aws_auth = {
    manage_aws_auth_configmap = true
    aws_auth_roles = [
      {
        rolearn  = data.aws_iam_role.karpenter_instance.arn
        username = "system:node:{{EC2PrivateDNSName}}"
        groups   = ["system:bootstrappers", "system:nodes"]
      },
    ]
    aws_auth_users = var.eks_additional_users
  }
}

...because I make my way through these things by documentation as opposed to actually knowing what I'm doing.

I figured out the module declaration. Thnks.

@zenbones what's the proper module declaration? I'm experiencing the same issue.

Whether something is true or not it is complex topic, but I can say that I found the same issue. I understand that this is a change in the contract of the module, and as such it should be treated gently.

For other humans arriving here, taking the original example that opened the issue:

module "eks" {
  manage_aws_auth_configmap = true
  aws_auth_roles = [
    {
      rolearn  = data.aws_iam_role.karpenter_instance.arn
      username = "system:node:{{EC2PrivateDNSName}}"
      groups   = ["system:bootstrappers", "system:nodes"]
    },
  ]
  aws_auth_users = var.eks_additional_users
}

We need to move all auth related things to a new module definition, like

module "eks" {
   source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
   cluster_name = "...."
   # All the rest of cluster configuration that was not moved
}

module "aws_auth" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws//modules/aws-auth"
  manage_aws_auth_configmap = true
  aws_auth_roles = [
    {
      rolearn  = data.aws_iam_role.karpenter_instance.arn
      username = "system:node:{{EC2PrivateDNSName}}"
      groups   = ["system:bootstrappers", "system:nodes"]
    },
  ]
  aws_auth_users = var.eks_additional_users
}
