How can I properly configure tolerations for the AWS EBS CSI Driver add-on in EKS using Terraform?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm deploying Cilium in my EKS cluster and need to add a taint to my node groups:

YAML
taints: - key: "node.cilium.io/agent-not-ready" value: "true" effect: "NoExecute"

I also deploy EKS add-ons (VPC CNI, EBS CSI, Kube Proxy, and CoreDNS). While I managed to configure VPC CNI, Kube Proxy, and CoreDNS using tolerations (as shown by the output of the aws eks describe-addon-configuration command), the AWS EBS CSI Driver still errors out.

After running:

BASH
aws eks describe-addon-configuration --addon-name aws-ebs-csi-driver --addon-version v1.38.1-eksbuild.2 | jq ".configurationSchema" | jq "fromjson" | jq ".properties.node.properties.tolerations"

I receive the following output:

JSON
{ "default": [ { "effect": "NoExecute", "operator": "Exists", "tolerationSeconds": 300 } ], "description": "Tolerations of the node pod", "items": { "type": "object" }, "type": "array" }

My current Terraform configuration is as follows:

HCL
configuration_values = jsonencode({ tolerations = [{ "key" : "node.cilium.io/agent-not-ready", "operator": "Equal", "value": "true", "effect" : "NoExecute" }] })

However, I still receive the error:

InvalidParameterException: ConfigurationValue provided in request is not supported: Json schema validation failed with error: [$.tolerations: is not defined in the schema and the schema does not allow additional properties]

I suspect the tolerations need to be nested correctly (i.e. under the "node" key) as indicated in the configuration schema. How can I adjust my Terraform configuration so that it complies with the expected schema for the AWS EBS CSI Driver add-on?

The error indicates that the JSON configuration you're providing doesn't match the schema expected by the AWS EBS CSI Driver add-on. According to the schema, the tolerations must be nested under the "node" property. Your current JSON is setting tolerations at the top level. You need to wrap your tolerations in a "node" object.

Try updating your configuration as follows:

HCL
configuration_values = jsonencode({ node = { tolerations = [{ key = "node.cilium.io/agent-not-ready" operator = "Equal" value = "true" effect = "NoExecute" }] } })

This updated configuration nests the tolerations under the "node" key so that it conforms with the expected schema.

For the latest versions of these addons:

  • aws-ebs-csi-driver: v1.38.1-eksbuild.2
  • aws-mountpoint-s3-csi-driver: v1.11.0-eksbuild.1

I had to add this in the Terraform scripts for addon configuration:

HCL
configuration_values = jsonencode({ node: { tolerations = [ { operator = "Exists" effect = "NoSchedule" } ] }

})

The terraform documentation has an example on how you can achieve this. In the example the addon is coredns version v1.10.1-eksbuild.1.

Calling the api:

BASH
aws eks describe-addon-configuration \ --addon-name coredns \ --addon-version v1.10.1-eksbuild.1 \ --query "configurationSchema" | jq '. | fromjson'

you can see that tolerations is a property. So to specify the toleration in this example:

HCL
resource "aws_eks_addon" "example" { cluster_name = "mycluster" addon_name = "coredns" addon_version = "v1.10.1-eksbuild.1" configuration_values = jsonencode({ tolerations = [{ "key" : "node.cilium.io/agent-not-ready", "operator" : "NoExecute" }] }) }
