AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

Since Camel 3.0

Only producer is supported

The EKS component supports create, delete, describe and list AWS EKS clusters instances.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon EKS. More information is available at Amazon EKS.

URI Format

aws-eks://label[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) component supports 12 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

autoDiscoverClient (common)

Setting the autoDiscoverClient mechanism, if true, the component will look for a client instance in the registry automatically otherwise it will skip that checking.

true

boolean

accessKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Access Key

String

configuration (producer)

The component configuration

EKSConfiguration

eksClient (producer)

To use a existing configured AWS EKS as client

AmazonEKS

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

operation (producer)

Required The operation to perform. There are 4 enums and the value can be one of: listClusters, describeCluster, createCluster, deleteCluster

EKSOperations

proxyHost (producer)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the EKS client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the EKS client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the EKS client. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which EKS client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()

String

secretKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

boolean

The AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

aws-eks:label

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

label

Required Logical name

To define a proxy host when instantiating the EKS client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the EKS client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the EKS client. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which EKS client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()

String

secretKey (producer)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

Required EKS component options

You have to provide the amazonEKSClient in the Registry or your accessKey and secretKey to access the Amazon EKS service.

Usage

Message headers evaluated by the EKS producer

Header Type Description

CamelAwsEKSMaxResults

Integer

The limit number of results while listing clusters

CamelAwsEKSOperation

String

The operation we want to perform

CamelAwsEKSDescription

String

A key description to use while performing a createKey operation

CamelAwsEKSClusterName

String

The cluster name

CamelAwsEKSRoleARN

String

The role ARN to use while creating the cluster

CamelAwsEKSVPCConfig

VPCConfigRequest

The VPC config for the creations of an EKS cluster

EKS Producer operations

Camel-AWS EKS component provides the following operation on the producer side:

  • listClusters

  • createCluster

  • describeCluster

  • deleteCluster

Producer Examples

  • listClusters: this operation will list the available clusters in EKS

from("direct:listClusters")
    .to("aws-eks://test?ecsClient=#amazonEksClient&operation=listClusters")

Automatic detection of AmazonEKS client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AmazonEKS bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-eks</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-eks with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-eks-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
