AWS EKS Kubernetes management for clusters, node groups, and workloads. Use when creating clusters, configuring IRSA, managing node groups, deploying applications, or integrating with AWS services.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AWS EKS
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) runs Kubernetes without installing and operating your own control plane. EKS manages the control plane and integrates with AWS services.

## Core Concepts
### Control Plane
Managed by AWS. Runs Kubernetes API server, etcd, and controllers across multiple AZs.
### Node Groups
| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| **Managed** | AWS manages provisioning, updates |
| **Self-managed** | You manage EC2 instances |
| **Fargate** | Serverless, per-pod compute |
### IRSA (IAM Roles for Service Accounts)
Associates Kubernetes service accounts with IAM roles for fine-grained AWS permissions.
### Add-ons
Operational software: CoreDNS, kube-proxy, VPC CNI, EBS CSI driver.
## Common Patterns
### Create a Cluster
**AWS CLI:**
```bash
# Create cluster role
aws iam create-role \
--role-name eks-cluster-role \
--assume-role-policy-document '{
"Version": "2012-10-17",

How to install
mdr add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills/eks@sha256:ab99e180c0e614f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260108.5b66f5c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
