Calico on AWS

The instructions and charts provided in this repo have been deprecated and will not be updated. The recommended way to install Calico on EKS is via Tigera Operator instead of this helm-chart.

You can follow https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/calico.html for detailed instructions.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.11+ running on AWS

Installing the Chart

First add the EKS repository to Helm:

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

Install the Calico CRDs:

kubectl apply -k github.com/aws/eks-charts/tree/master/stable/aws-calico/crds

To install the chart with the release name aws-calico and default configuration:

$ helm install --name aws-calico --namespace kube-system eks/aws-calico

To install into an EKS cluster where the CNI is already installed, you can run:

helm upgrade --install --recreate-pods --force aws-calico --namespace kube-system eks/aws-calico

If you receive an error similar to Error: release aws-calico failed: <resource> "aws-calico" already exists, simply rerun the above command.
