Introduction

First lets install the AWS Load Balancer controller using helm:

~$helm repo add eks-charts https://aws.github.io/eks-charts

~$helm upgrade --install aws-load-balancer-controller eks-charts/aws-load-balancer-controller \

--version "${LBC_CHART_VERSION}" \

--namespace "kube-system" \

--set "clusterName=${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME}" \

--set "serviceAccount.name=aws-load-balancer-controller-sa" \

--set "serviceAccount.annotations.eks\\.amazonaws\\.com/role-arn"="$LBC_ROLE_ARN" \

--wait

Release "aws-load-balancer-controller" does not exist. Installing it now.
