First some info about the setup:
EKS version: 1.21
eksctl version: 0.77.0
AWS Go SDK verion: v1.44.28
Deploying usingkubectl
I have a k8s cluster on AWS EKS on which I am deploying a custom k8s controller for my application. Using instructions from eksworkshop.com, I created my service account with the appropriate IAM role using eksctl. I assign the role in my deployment.yaml as seen below. I also set the securityContext as that seemed to solve problem in some cases as described here.
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: tel-controller
namespace: tel
spec:
replicas: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: tel-controller
strategy:
rollingUpdate:
maxSurge: 50%
maxUnavailable: 50%
type: RollingUpdate
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: tel-controller
spec:
serviceAccountName: tel-controller-serviceaccount
securityContext:
fsGroup: 65534
containers:
- image: <image name>
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: tel-controller
args:
- --metrics-bind-address=:8080
- --health-probe-bind-address=:8081
- --leader-elect=true
ports:
- name: webhook-server
containerPort: 9443
protocol: TCP
- name: metrics-port
containerPort: 8080
protocol: TCP
- name: health-port
containerPort: 8081
protocol: TCP
securityContext:
readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
runAsNonRoot: true
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
But this does not seem to be working. If I describe the pod, I see the correct role.
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: us-east-1
AWS_REGION: us-east-1
AWS_ROLE_ARN: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxx:role/eksctl-eks-tel-addon-iamserviceaccount-tel-t-Role1-3APV5KCV33U8
AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE: /var/run/secrets/eks.amazonaws.com/serviceaccount/token
Mounts:
/var/run/secrets/eks.amazonaws.com/serviceaccount from aws-iam-token (ro)
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount from kube-api-access-6ngsr (ro)
But if I do a sts.GetCallerIdentityInput() from inside the controller application, I see the node role. And obviously i get an access denied error.
caller identity: (go string) { Account: "xxxxxxxxxxxx", Arn: "arn:aws:sts::xxxxxxxxxxx:assumed-role/eksctl-eks-tel-nodegroup-voice-NodeInstanceRole-BJNYF5YC2CE3/i-0694a2766c5d70901", UserId: "AROAZUYK7F2GRLKRGGNXZ:i-0694a2766c5d70901" }
This is how I created by service account
eksctl create iamserviceaccount --cluster ${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME} \
--namespace tel \
--name tel-controller-serviceaccount \
--attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxx:policy/telcontrollerRoute53Policy \
--override-existing-serviceaccounts --approve
I have done this successfully in the past. The difference this time is that I also have role & role bindings attached to this service account. My rbac.yaml for this SA.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.
