Cluster Fields

name (required)

Name of your cluster mgmt in this example.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.policyEnforcementMode (optional)

Optionally specify a policyEnforcementMode of default, always or never.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.egressMasqueradeInterfaces (optional)

Optionally specify a network interface name or interface prefix used for masquerading. See EgressMasqueradeInterfaces option.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.skipUpgrade (optional)

When true, skip Cilium maintenance during upgrades. Also see Use a custom CNI.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.routingMode (optional)

Optionally specify the routing mode. Accepts default and direct. Also see RoutingMode option.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.ipv4NativeRoutingCIDR (optional)

Optionally specify the CIDR to use when RoutingMode is set to direct. When specified, Cilium assumes networking for this CIDR is preconfigured and hands traffic destined for that range to the Linux network stack without applying any SNAT.

clusterNetwork.cniConfig.cilium.ipv6NativeRoutingCIDR (optional)

Optionally specify the IPv6 CIDR to use when RoutingMode is set to direct. When specified, Cilium assumes networking for this CIDR is preconfigured and hands traffic destined for that range to the Linux network stack without applying any SNAT.

clusterNetwork.pods.cidrBlocks[0] (required)

The pod subnet specified in CIDR notation. Only 1 pod CIDR block is permitted. The CIDR block should not conflict with the host or service network ranges.

clusterNetwork.services.cidrBlocks[0] (required)

The service subnet specified in CIDR notation. Only 1 service CIDR block is permitted. This CIDR block should not conflict with the host or pod network ranges.

clusterNetwork.dns.resolvConf.path (optional)

File path to a file containing a custom DNS resolver configuration.

controlPlaneConfiguration (required)

Specific control plane configuration for your Kubernetes cluster.

controlPlaneConfiguration.count (required)

Number of control plane nodes

controlPlaneConfiguration.machineGroupRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with Nutanix specific configuration for your nodes. See NutanixMachineConfig fields below.

controlPlaneConfiguration.endpoint.host (required)

A unique IP you want to use for the control plane VM in your EKS Anywhere cluster. Choose an IP in your network range that does not conflict with other VMs.

NOTE: This IP should be outside the network DHCP range as it is a floating IP that gets assigned to one of the control plane nodes for kube-apiserver loadbalancing. Suggestions on how to ensure this IP does not cause issues during cluster creation process are here .

workerNodeGroupConfigurations (required)

This takes in a list of node groups that you can define for your workers. You may define one or more worker node groups.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].count (optional)

Number of worker nodes. (default: 1) It will be ignored if the cluster autoscaler curated package is installed and autoscalingConfiguration is used to specify the desired range of replicas.

Refers to troubleshooting machine health check remediation not allowed and choose a sufficient number to allow machine health check remediation.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].machineGroupRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with Nutanix specific configuration for your nodes. See NutanixMachineConfig fields below.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].name (required)

Name of the worker node group (default: md-0)

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].autoscalingConfiguration.minCount (optional)

Minimum number of nodes for this node group’s autoscaling configuration.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].autoscalingConfiguration.maxCount (optional)

Maximum number of nodes for this node group’s autoscaling configuration.

workerNodeGroupConfigurations[*].kubernetesVersion (optional)

The Kubernetes version you want to use for this worker node group. Supported values: 1.31, 1.30, 1.29, 1.28, 1.27

externalEtcdConfiguration.count (optional)

Number of etcd members

externalEtcdConfiguration.machineGroupRef (optional)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with Nutanix specific configuration for your etcd members. See NutanixMachineConfig fields below.

datacenterRef (required)

Refers to the Kubernetes object with Nutanix environment specific configuration. See NutanixDatacenterConfig fields below.

kubernetesVersion (required)

The Kubernetes version you want to use for your cluster. Supported values: 1.31, 1.30, 1.29, 1.28, 1.27

NutanixDatacenterConfig Fields

endpoint (required)

The Prism Central server fully qualified domain name or IP address. If the server IP is used, the PC SSL certificate must have an IP SAN configured.

port (required)

The Prism Central server port. (Default: 9440)

credentialRef (required)

Reference to the Kubernetes secret that contains the Prism Central credentials.

insecure (optional)

Set insecure to true if the Prism Central server does not have a valid certificate. This is not recommended for production use cases. (Default: false)

additionalTrustBundle (optional; required if using a self-signed PC SSL certificate)

The PEM encoded CA trust bundle.

The additionalTrustBundle needs to be populated with the PEM-encoded x509 certificate of the Root CA that issued the certificate for Prism Central. Suggestions on how to obtain this certificate are here .

Example:

 additionalTrustBundle: |
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <certificate string>
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    <certificate string>
