Upbound Universal Crossplane (UXP) Amazon EKS Add-on

The Upbound Universal Crossplane Amazon EKS Add-on allows Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters to manage the lifecycle of Crossplane distribution.

Upbound Universal Crossplane (UXP) is Upbound's official enterprise-grade Crossplane distribution. It's free, open source, and fully conformant with upstream Crossplane. UXP is hardened and tested by Upbound so customers can confidently deploy control plane architectures to production. Connect UXP to Upbound Cloud is enabled with a free Upbound account for simplified management.

Usage

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as blueprints from '@aws-quickstart/eks-blueprints';

const app = new cdk.App();

new blueprints.UpboundCrossplaneAddOn({
    clusterAccessRole: blueprints.getNamedResource("AdminRole")
});

const blueprint = blueprints.EksBlueprint.builder()
  .version("auto")
  .addOns(addOn)
  .build(app, 'my-stack-name');

iguration Options

  • createNamespace: (boolean) If you want CDK to create the namespace for you.
  • values: Arbitrary values to pass to the chart. Refer to the FluxCD Helm Chart documentation for additional details. It also supports all standard helm configuration options ( for Eg: https://github.com/aws-quickstart/cdk-eks-blueprints/blob/main/docs/addons/index.md#standard-helm-add-on-configuration-options).
