What AWS services are supported by the ACK skill?

ACK supports a wide range of GA services including S3, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, Lambda, ECR, EKS, EC2, IAM, and ElastiCache, with more in preview.

Can I manage resources across different AWS accounts?

Yes, ACK supports Cross-Account Resource Management (CARM), allowing you to map specific Kubernetes namespaces to different AWS accounts.

Can I use this skill with GitOps tools like ArgoCD?

Yes, ACK is specifically designed for GitOps and integrates perfectly with ArgoCD and Flux for declarative, version-controlled infrastructure management.

How do I import existing AWS resources into ACK?

You can use the AdoptedResource manifest to bring existing AWS infrastructure under ACK management without needing to recreate the resources.

Does ACK use CloudFormation under the hood?

No, ACK communicates directly with AWS APIs, which allows for faster resource creation and more granular status reporting compared to CloudFormation-based tools.

云基础设施

Manages AWS resources directly from Kubernetes using native custom resource definitions and controllers for automated infrastructure management.

关于

This skill integrates AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) into your workflow, allowing you to define and manage AWS services like S3 buckets, RDS databases, and SQS queues as standard Kubernetes manifests. By extending the Kubernetes API, it enables seamless GitOps for infrastructure, automated drift reconciliation, and multi-account resource management, making it an essential tool for developers and platform engineers building EKS-centric application platforms. It eliminates the need for external CLI tools for infrastructure by bringing AWS management directly into the kubectl ecosystem.
