# Adding and removing Kubernetes clusters
GitLab can integrate with the following Kubernetes providers:
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
GitLab is more deeply integrated with GKE, but deeper integration with EKS
[is planned](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/22392).
## Access controls
When creating a cluster in GitLab, you will be asked if you would like to create either:
- A [Role-based access control (RBAC)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/) cluster.
- An [Attribute-based access control (ABAC)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/abac/) cluster.
NOTE: **Note:**
[RBAC](#rbac-cluster-resources) is recommended and the GitLab default.
GitLab creates the necessary service accounts and privileges to install and run
[GitLab managed applications](index.md#installing-applications). When GitLab creates the cluster,
a `gitlab` service account with `cluster-admin` privileges is created in the `default` namespace
to manage the newly created cluster.
NOTE: **Note:**
Restricted service account for deployment was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/51716) in GitLab 11.5.
When you install Helm into your cluster, the `tiller` service account
is created with `cluster-admin` privileges in the `gitlab-managed-apps`
namespace.
This service account will be:
- Added to the installed Helm Tiller
- Used by Helm to install and run [GitLab managed applications](index.md#installing-applications).
Helm will also create additional service accounts and other resources for each
installed application. Consult the documentation of the Helm charts for each application
for details.
If you are [adding an existing Kubernetes cluster](add_remove_clusters.md#add-existing-cluster),
ensure the token of the account has administrator privileges for the cluster.
The resources created by GitLab differ depending on the type of cluster.
### RBAC cluster resources
GitLab creates the following resources for RBAC clusters.
| Name | Type | Details | Created when |
|:----------------------|:---------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------|
| `gitlab` | `ServiceAccount` | `default` namespace | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `gitlab-admin` | `ClusterRoleBinding` | [`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles) roleRef | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `gitlab-token` | `Secret` | Token for `gitlab` ServiceAccount | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `tiller` | `ServiceAccount` | `gitlab-managed-apps` namespace | Installing Helm Tiller |
| `tiller-admin` | `ClusterRoleBinding` | `cluster-admin` roleRef | Installing Helm Tiller |
| Environment namespace | `Namespace` | Contains all environment-specific resources | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `ServiceAccount` | Uses namespace of environment | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `Secret` | Token for environment ServiceAccount | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `RoleBinding` | [`edit`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles) roleRef | Deploying to a cluster |
### ABAC cluster resources
GitLab creates the following resources for ABAC clusters.
| Name | Type | Details | Created when |
|:----------------------|:---------------------|:-------------------------------------|:---------------------------|
| `gitlab` | `ServiceAccount` | `default` namespace | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `gitlab-token` | `Secret` | Token for `gitlab` ServiceAccount | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `tiller` | `ServiceAccount` | `gitlab-managed-apps` namespace | Installing Helm Tiller |
| `tiller-admin` | `ClusterRoleBinding` | `cluster-admin` roleRef | Installing Helm Tiller |
| Environment namespace | `Namespace` | Contains all environment-specific resources | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `ServiceAccount` | Uses namespace of environment | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `Secret` | Token for environment ServiceAccount | Deploying to a cluster |
NOTE: **Note:**
Environment-specific resources are only created if your cluster is [managed by GitLab](index.md#gitlab-managed-clusters).
NOTE: **Note:**
If your cluster was created before GitLab 12.2, it will use a single namespace for all project environments.
### Security of GitLab Runners
GitLab Runners have the [privileged mode](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#the-privileged-mode)
enabled by default, which allows them to execute special commands and running
Docker in Docker. This functionality is needed to run some of the
[Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)
jobs. This implies the containers are running in privileged mode and you should,
therefore, be aware of some important details.
The privileged flag gives all capabilities to the running container, which in
turn can do almost everything that the host can do. Be aware of the
inherent security risk associated with performing `docker run` operations on
arbitrary images as they effectively have root access.
If you don't want to use GitLab Runner in privileged mode, either:
- Use shared Runners on GitLab.com. They don't have this security issue.
- Set up your own Runners using configuration described at
[Shared Runners](../../gitlab_com/index.md#shared-runners). This involves:
1. Making sure that you don't have it installed via
[the applications](index.md#installing-applications).
1. Installing a Runner
[using `docker+machine`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker_machine.html).
## Add new GKE cluster
GitLab support creating a new GKE cluster using the GitLab UI.
You can also provide credentials to add an
[existing Kubernetes cluster](#add-existing-cluster).
TIP: **Tip:**
Every new Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account receives [$300 in credit upon sign up](https://console.cloud.google.com/freetrial),
and in partnership with Google, GitLab is able to offer an additional $200 for new GCP accounts to get started with GitLab's
Google Kubernetes Engine Integration. All you have to do is [follow this link](https://cloud.google.com/partners/partnercredit/?PCN=a0n60000006Vpz4AAC) and apply for credit.
NOTE: **Note:**
The [Google authentication integration](../../../integration/google.md) must
be enabled in GitLab at the instance level. If that's not the case, ask your
GitLab administrator to enable it. On GitLab.com, this is enabled.
### Requirements
Before creating your first cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine with GitLab's
integration, make sure the following requirements are met:
- A [billing account](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/manage-billing-account)
is set up and you have permissions to access it.
- The Kubernetes Engine API and related service are enabled. It should work immediately but may take up to 10 minutes after you create a project. For more information see the
["Before you begin" section of the Kubernetes Engine docs](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/quickstart#before-you-begin).
### Creating the cluster
If all of the above requirements are met, you can proceed to create and add a
new Kubernetes cluster to your project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Operations > Kubernetes** page.
NOTE: **Note:**
You need Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) and above to access the Kubernetes page.
1. Click **Add Kubernetes cluster**.
1. Click **Create with Google Kubernetes Engine**.
1. Connect your Google account if you haven't done already by clicking the
**Sign in with Google** button.
1. Choose your cluster's settings:
- **Kubernetes cluster name** - The name you wish to give the cluster.
- **Environment scope** - The [associated environment](index.md#setting-the-environment-scope-premium) to this cluster.
- **Google Cloud Platform project** - Choose the project you created in your GCP
console that will host the Kubernetes cluster. Learn more about
[Google Cloud Platform projects](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-projects).
- **Zone** - Choose the [region zone](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/)
under which the cluster will be created.
- **Number of nodes** - Enter the number of nodes you wish the cluster to have.
- **Machine type** - The [machine type](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types)
of the Virtual Machine instance that the cluster will be based on.
- **Enable Cloud Run on GKE (beta)** - Check this if you want to use Cloud Run on GKE for this cluster.
See the [Cloud Run on GKE section](#cloud-run-on-gke) for more information.
- **GitLab-managed cluster** - Leave this checked if you want GitLab to manage namespaces and service accounts for this cluster.
See the [Managed clusters section](index.md#gitlab-managed-clusters) for more information.
1. Finally, click the **Create Kubernetes cluster** button.
After a couple of minutes, your cluster will be ready to go. You can now proceed
to install some [pre-defined applications](index.md#installing-applications).
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab requires basic authentication enabled and a client certificate issued for the cluster in
order to setup an [initial service account](#access-controls). Starting from [GitLab
11.10](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/58208), the cluster creation process will
explicitly request that basic authentication and client certificate is enabled.
NOTE: **Note:**
Starting from [GitLab 12.1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/55902), all GKE clusters
created by GitLab are RBAC-enabled. Take a look at the [RBAC section](#rbac-cluster-resources) for more information.
### Cloud Run on GKE
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/16566) in GitLab 12.4.
You can choose to use Cloud Run on GKE in place of installing Knative and Istio
separately after the cluster has been created. This means that Cloud Run
(Knative), Istio, and HTTP Load Balancing will be enabled on the cluster at
create time and cannot be [installed or uninstalled](../../clusters/applications.md) separately.
## Add existing cluster
If you have either of the following types of clusters already, you can add them to a project:
- [Google Kubernetes Engine cluster](#add-existing-gke-cluster).
- [Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service](#add-existing-eks-cluster).
NOTE: **Note:**
Kubernetes integration is not supported for arm64 clusters. See the issue
[Helm Tiller fails to install on arm64 cluster](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/64044) for details.
### Add existing GKE cluster
To add an existing Kubernetes cluster to your project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Operations > Kubernetes** page.
NOTE: **Note:**
You need Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) and above to access the Kubernetes page.
1. Click **Add Kubernetes cluster**.
1. Click **Add an existing Kubernetes cluster** and fill in the details:
- **Kubernetes cluster name** (required) - The name you wish to give the cluster.
- **Environment scope** (required) - The
[associated environment](index.md#setting-the-environment-scope-premium) to this cluster.
- **API URL** (required) -
It's the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes
exposes several APIs, we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them,
e.g., `https://kubernetes.example.com` rather than `https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1`.
Get the API URL by running this command:
```sh
kubectl cluster-info | grep 'Kubernetes master' | awk '/http/ {print $NF}'
```
- **CA certificate** (required) - A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to authenticate to the cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
- List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
`default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- Get the certificate by running this command:
```sh
kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
```
NOTE: **Note:**
If the command returns the entire certificate chain, you need copy the *root ca*
certificate at the bottom of the chain.
- **Token** -
GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
scoped to a particular `namespace`.
**The token used should belong to a service account with
[`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles)
privileges.** To create this service account:
1. Create a file called `gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: gitlab-admin
namespace: kube-system
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: gitlab-admin
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: gitlab-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
1. Apply the service account and cluster role binding to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
serviceaccount "gitlab-admin" created
clusterrolebinding "gitlab-admin" created
```
1. Retrieve the token for the `gitlab-admin` service account:
```bash
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep gitlab-admin | awk '{print $1}')
```
Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:
```yaml
Name: gitlab-admin-token-b5zv4
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>
Annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name=gitlab-admin
kubernetes.io/service-account.uid=bcfe66ac-39be-11e8-97e8-026dce96b6e8
Type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
Data
====
ca.crt: 1025 bytes
namespace: 11 bytes
token: <authentication_token>
```
NOTE: **Note:**
For GKE clusters, you will need the
`container.clusterRoleBindings.create` permission to create a cluster
role binding. You can follow the [Google Cloud
documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access)
to grant access.
- **GitLab-managed cluster** - Leave this checked if you want GitLab to manage namespaces and service accounts for this cluster.
See the [Managed clusters section](index.md#gitlab-managed-clusters) for more information.
- **Project namespace** (optional) - You don't have to fill it in; by leaving
it blank, GitLab will create one for you. Also:
- Each project should have a unique namespace.
- The project namespace is not necessarily the namespace of the secret, if
you're using a secret with broader permissions, like the secret from `default`.
- You should **not** use `default` as the project namespace.
- If you or someone created a secret specifically for the project, usually
with limited permissions, the secret's namespace and project namespace may
be the same.
1. Finally, click the **Create Kubernetes cluster** button.
After a couple of minutes, your cluster will be ready to go. You can now proceed
to install some [pre-defined applications](index.md#installing-applications).
### Add existing EKS cluster
In this section, we will show how to integrate an [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/) cluster with GitLab and begin
deploying applications.
#### Requirements
To integrate with with EKS, you will need:
- An account on GitLab, like [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com).
- An Amazon EKS cluster (with worker nodes properly configured).
- `kubectl` [installed and configured for access to the EKS cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html#get-started-kubectl).
If you don't have an Amazon EKS cluster, one can be created by following the
[EKS getting started guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html).
#### Configuring and connecting the EKS cluster
From the left side bar, hover over **Operations > Kubernetes > Add Kubernetes cluster**,
then click **Add an existing Kubernetes cluster**.
A few details from the EKS cluster will be required to connect it to GitLab:
1. **Retrieve the certificate**: A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to
authenticate to the EKS cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
Open a shell and use `kubectl` to retrieve it:
- List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
`default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- Get the certificate with:
```sh
kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
```
1. **Create admin token**: A `cluster-admin` token is required to install and
manage Helm Tiller. GitLab establishes mutual SSL auth with Helm Tiller
and creates limited service accounts for each application. To create the
token we will create an admin service account as follows:
1. Create a file called `eks-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: eks-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
1. Apply the service account to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-service-account.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
serviceaccount "eks-admin" created
```
1. Create a file called `eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: eks-admin
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: eks-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
1. Apply the cluster role binding to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
clusterrolebinding "eks-admin" created
```
1. Retrieve the token for the `eks-admin` service account:
```bash
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep eks-admin | awk '{print $1}')
```
Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:
```yaml
Name: eks-admin-token-b5zv4
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>
Annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name=eks-admin
kubernetes.io/service-account.uid=bcfe66ac-39be-11e8-97e8-026dce96b6e8
Type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
Data
====
ca.crt: 1025 bytes
namespace: 11 bytes
token: <authentication_token>
```
1. The API server endpoint is also required, so GitLab can connect to the cluster.
This is displayed on the AWS EKS console, when viewing the EKS cluster details.
You now have all the information needed to connect the EKS cluster:
- Kubernetes cluster name: Provide a name for the cluster to identify it within GitLab.
- Environment scope: Leave this as `*` for now, since we are only connecting a single cluster.
- API URL: Paste in the API server endpoint retrieved above.
- CA Certificate: Paste the certificate data from the earlier step, as-is.
- Paste the admin token value.
- Project namespace: This can be left blank to accept the default namespace, based on the project name.
![Add Cluster](img/add_cluster.png)
Click on **Add Kubernetes cluster**, the cluster is now connected to GitLab.
At this point, [Kubernetes deployment variables](index.md#deployment-variables) will
automatically be available during CI/CD jobs, making it easy to interact with the cluster.
If you would like to utilize your own CI/CD scripts to deploy to the cluster, you can stop here.
#### Disable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) (optional)
When connecting a cluster via GitLab integration, you may specify whether the
cluster is RBAC-enabled or not. This will affect how GitLab interacts with the
cluster for certain operations. If you **did not** check the "RBAC-enabled cluster"
checkbox at creation time, GitLab will assume RBAC is disabled for your cluster
when interacting with it. If so, you must disable RBAC on your cluster for the
integration to work properly.
![rbac](img/rbac.png)
NOTE: **Note**: Disabling RBAC means that any application running in the cluster,
or user who can authenticate to the cluster, has full API access. This is a
[security concern](index.md#security-implications), and may not be desirable.
To effectively disable RBAC, global permissions can be applied granting full access:
```bash
kubectl create clusterrolebinding permissive-binding \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin \
--user=admin \
--user=kubelet \
--group=system:serviceaccounts
```
#### Create a default Storage Class
Amazon EKS doesn't have a default Storage Class out of the box, which means
requests for persistent volumes will not be automatically fulfilled. As part
of Auto DevOps, the deployed Postgres instance requests persistent storage,
and without a default storage class it will fail to start.
If a default Storage Class doesn't already exist and is desired, follow Amazon's
[guide on storage classes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/storage-classes.html)
to create one.
Alternatively, disable Postgres by setting the project variable
[`POSTGRES_ENABLED`](../../../topics/autodevops/#environment-variables) to `false`.
#### Deploy the app to EKS
With RBAC disabled and services deployed,
[Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md) can now be leveraged
to build, test, and deploy the app.
[Enable Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md#at-the-project-level)
if not already enabled. If a wildcard DNS entry was created resolving to the
Load Balancer, enter it in the `domain` field under the Auto DevOps settings.
Otherwise, the deployed app will not be externally available outside of the cluster.
![Deploy Pipeline](img/pipeline.png)
A new pipeline will automatically be created, which will begin to build, test,
and deploy the app.
After the pipeline has finished, your app will be running in EKS and available
to users. Click on **CI/CD > Environments**.
![Deployed Environment](img/environment.png)
You will see a list of the environments and their deploy status, as well as
options to browse to the app, view monitoring metrics, and even access a shell

## Enabling or disabling integration
After you have successfully added your cluster information, you can enable the
Kubernetes cluster integration:
1. Click the **Enabled/Disabled** switch
1. Hit **Save** for the changes to take effect
To disable the Kubernetes cluster integration, follow the same procedure.
## Removing integration
NOTE: **Note:**
You need Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) and above to remove a Kubernetes cluster integration.
NOTE: **Note:**
When you remove a cluster, you only remove its relation to GitLab, not the
cluster itself. To remove the cluster, you can do so by visiting the GKE
dashboard or using `kubectl`.
To remove the Kubernetes cluster integration from your project, simply click the
**Remove integration** button. You will then be able to follow the procedure
and add a Kubernetes cluster again.

# Connecting and deploying to an Amazon EKS cluster
---
redirect_to: '../add_remove_clusters.md#add-existing-eks-cluster'
---
In this tutorial, we will show how to integrate an
[Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/) cluster with GitLab and begin
deploying applications.
## Introduction
For an end-to-end walkthrough we will:
1. Start with a new project based on the sample Ruby on Rails template.
1. Integrate an EKS cluster.
1. Utilize [Auto DevOps](../../../../topics/autodevops/) to build, test, and deploy our application.
You will need:
1. An account on GitLab, like [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com).
1. An Amazon EKS cluster (with worker nodes properly configured).
1. `kubectl` [installed and configured for access to the EKS cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html#get-started-kubectl).
If you don't have an Amazon EKS cluster, one can be created by following the
[EKS getting started guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html).
## Creating a new project
On GitLab, create a new project by clicking on the `+` icon in the top navigation
bar and selecting **New project**.
On the new project screen, click on the **Create from template** tab, and select
"Use template" for the Ruby on Rails sample project.
Give the project a name, and then select **Create project**.
![Create Project](img/create_project.png)
## Configuring and connecting the EKS cluster
From the left side bar, hover over **Operations > Kubernetes > Add Kubernetes cluster**,
then click **Add an existing Kubernetes cluster**.
A few details from the EKS cluster will be required to connect it to GitLab:
1. **Retrieve the certificate**: A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to
authenticate to the EKS cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
Open a shell and use `kubectl` to retrieve it:
- List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
`default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- Get the certificate with:
```sh
kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
```
1. **Create admin token**: A `cluster-admin` token is required to install and
manage Helm Tiller. GitLab establishes mutual SSL auth with Helm Tiller
and creates limited service accounts for each application. To create the
token we will create an admin service account as follows:
2.1. Create a file called `eks-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: eks-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
2.2. Apply the service account to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-service-account.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
serviceaccount "eks-admin" created
```
2.3. Create a file called `eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: eks-admin
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: eks-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
2.4. Apply the cluster role binding to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
clusterrolebinding "eks-admin" created
```
2.5. Retrieve the token for the `eks-admin` service account:
```bash
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep eks-admin | awk '{print $1}')
```
Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:
```yaml
Name: eks-admin-token-b5zv4
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>
Annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name=eks-admin
kubernetes.io/service-account.uid=bcfe66ac-39be-11e8-97e8-026dce96b6e8
Type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
Data
====
ca.crt: 1025 bytes
namespace: 11 bytes
token: <authentication_token>
```
1. The API server endpoint is also required, so GitLab can connect to the cluster.
This is displayed on the AWS EKS console, when viewing the EKS cluster details.
You now have all the information needed to connect the EKS cluster:
- Kubernetes cluster name: Provide a name for the cluster to identify it within GitLab.
- Environment scope: Leave this as `*` for now, since we are only connecting a single cluster.
- API URL: Paste in the API server endpoint retrieved above.
- CA Certificate: Paste the certificate data from the earlier step, as-is.
- Paste the admin token value.
- Project namespace: This can be left blank to accept the default namespace, based on the project name.
![Add Cluster](img/add_cluster.png)
Click on **Add Kubernetes cluster**, the cluster is now connected to GitLab.
At this point, [Kubernetes deployment variables](../#deployment-variables) will
automatically be available during CI/CD jobs, making it easy to interact with the cluster.
If you would like to utilize your own CI/CD scripts to deploy to the cluster, you can stop here.
## Disable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) (optional)
When connecting a cluster via GitLab integration, you may specify whether the
cluster is RBAC-enabled or not. This will affect how GitLab interacts with the
cluster for certain operations. If you **did not** check the "RBAC-enabled cluster"
checkbox at creation time, GitLab will assume RBAC is disabled for your cluster
when interacting with it. If so, you must disable RBAC on your cluster for the
integration to work properly.
![rbac](img/rbac.png)
NOTE: **Note**: Disabling RBAC means that any application running in the cluster,
or user who can authenticate to the cluster, has full API access. This is a
[security concern](../index.md#security-implications), and may not be desirable.
To effectively disable RBAC, global permissions can be applied granting full access:
```bash
kubectl create clusterrolebinding permissive-binding \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin \
--user=admin \
--user=kubelet \
--group=system:serviceaccounts
```
## Deploy services to the cluster
GitLab supports one-click deployment of helpful services to the cluster, many of
which support Auto DevOps. Back on the Kubernetes cluster screen in GitLab, a
list of applications is now available to deploy.
First, install Helm Tiller, a package manager for Kubernetes. This enables
deployment of the other applications.
![Deploy Apps](img/deploy_apps.png)
### Deploying NGINX Ingress (optional)
Next, if you would like the deployed app to be reachable on the internet, deploy
the Ingress. Note that this will also cause an
[Elastic Load Balancer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/)
to be created, which will incur additional AWS costs.
Once installed, you may see a `?` for "Ingress IP Address". This is because the
created ELB is available at a DNS name, not an IP address. To get the DNS name,
run:
```sh
kubectl get service ingress-nginx-ingress-controller -n gitlab-managed-apps -o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}"
```
Note that you may see a trailing `%` on some Kubernetes versions, **do not include it**.
The Ingress is now available at this address and will route incoming requests to
the proper service based on the DNS name in the request. To support this, a
wildcard DNS CNAME record should be created for the desired domain name. For example,
`*.myekscluster.com` would point to the Ingress hostname obtained earlier.
![Create DNS](img/create_dns.png)
### Deploying the GitLab Runner (optional)
If the project is on GitLab.com, free shared Runners are available and you do
not have to deploy one. If a project specific Runner is desired, or there are no
shared Runners, it is easy to deploy one.
Simply click on the **Install** button for the GitLab Runner. It is important to
note that the Runner deployed is set as **privileged**, which means it essentially
has root access to the underlying machine. This is required to build docker images,
and so is on by default.
### Deploying Prometheus (optional)
GitLab is able to monitor applications automatically, utilizing
[Prometheus](../../integrations/prometheus.html). Kubernetes container CPU and
memory metrics are automatically collected, and response metrics are retrieved
from NGINX Ingress as well.
To enable monitoring, simply install Prometheus into the cluster with the
**Install** button.
## Create a default Storage Class
Amazon EKS doesn't have a default Storage Class out of the box, which means
requests for persistent volumes will not be automatically fulfilled. As part
of Auto DevOps, the deployed Postgres instance requests persistent storage,
and without a default storage class it will fail to start.
If a default Storage Class doesn't already exist and is desired, follow Amazon's
[guide on storage classes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/storage-classes.html)
to create one.
Alternatively, disable Postgres by setting the project variable
[`POSTGRES_ENABLED`](../../../../topics/autodevops/#environment-variables) to `false`.
## Deploy the app to EKS
With RBAC disabled and services deployed,
[Auto DevOps](../../../../topics/autodevops/index.md) can now be leveraged
to build, test, and deploy the app.
[Enable Auto DevOps](../../../../topics/autodevops/index.md#at-the-project-level)
if not already enabled. If a wildcard DNS entry was created resolving to the
Load Balancer, enter it in the `domain` field under the Auto DevOps settings.
Otherwise, the deployed app will not be externally available outside of the cluster.
![Deploy Pipeline](img/pipeline.png)
A new pipeline will automatically be created, which will begin to build, test,
and deploy the app.
After the pipeline has finished, your app will be running in EKS and available
to users. Click on **CI/CD > Environments**.
![Deployed Environment](img/environment.png)
You will see a list of the environments and their deploy status, as well as
options to browse to the app, view monitoring metrics, and even access a shell
on the running pod.

## Adding and removing clusters
There are two options when adding a new cluster to your project:
- Associate your account with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to
[create new clusters](#add-new-gke-cluster) from within GitLab.
- Provide credentials to an
[existing Kubernetes cluster](#add-existing-kubernetes-cluster).
### Add new GKE cluster
TIP: **Tip:**
Every new Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account receives [$300 in credit upon sign up](https://console.cloud.google.com/freetrial),
and in partnership with Google, GitLab is able to offer an additional $200 for new GCP accounts to get started with GitLab's
Google Kubernetes Engine Integration. All you have to do is [follow this link](https://cloud.google.com/partners/partnercredit/?PCN=a0n60000006Vpz4AAC) and apply for credit.
NOTE: **Note:**
The [Google authentication integration](../../../integration/google.md) must
be enabled in GitLab at the instance level. If that's not the case, ask your
GitLab administrator to enable it. On GitLab.com, this is enabled.
#### Requirements
Before creating your first cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine with GitLab's
integration, make sure the following requirements are met:
- A [billing account](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/manage-billing-account)
is set up and you have permissions to access it.
- The Kubernetes Engine API and related service are enabled. It should work immediately but may take up to 10 minutes after you create a project. For more information see the
["Before you begin" section of the Kubernetes Engine docs](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/quickstart#before-you-begin).
#### Creating the cluster
If all of the above requirements are met, you can proceed to create and add a
new Kubernetes cluster to your project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Operations > Kubernetes** page.
NOTE: **Note:**
You need Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) and above to access the Kubernetes page.
1. Click **Add Kubernetes cluster**.
1. Click **Create with Google Kubernetes Engine**.
1. Connect your Google account if you haven't done already by clicking the
**Sign in with Google** button.
1. From there on, choose your cluster's settings:
- **Kubernetes cluster name** - The name you wish to give the cluster.
- **Environment scope** - The [associated environment](#setting-the-environment-scope-premium) to this cluster.
- **Google Cloud Platform project** - Choose the project you created in your GCP
console that will host the Kubernetes cluster. Learn more about
[Google Cloud Platform projects](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-projects).
- **Zone** - Choose the [region zone](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/)
under which the cluster will be created.
- **Number of nodes** - Enter the number of nodes you wish the cluster to have.
- **Machine type** - The [machine type](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types)
of the Virtual Machine instance that the cluster will be based on.
- **Enable Cloud Run on GKE (beta)** - Check this if you want to use Cloud Run on GKE for this cluster. See the [Cloud Run on GKE section](#cloud-run-on-gke) for more information.
- **GitLab-managed cluster** - Leave this checked if you want GitLab to manage namespaces and service accounts for this cluster. See the [Managed clusters section](#gitlab-managed-clusters) for more information.
1. Finally, click the **Create Kubernetes cluster** button.
After a couple of minutes, your cluster will be ready to go. You can now proceed
to install some [pre-defined applications](#installing-applications).
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab requires basic authentication enabled and a client certificate issued for
the cluster in order to setup an [initial service
account](#access-controls). Starting from [GitLab
11.10](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/58208), the cluster
creation process will explicitly request that basic authentication and
client certificate is enabled.
NOTE: **Note:**
Starting from [GitLab 12.1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/55902), all GKE clusters created by GitLab are RBAC enabled. Take a look at the [RBAC section](#rbac-cluster-resources) for more information.
### Add existing Kubernetes cluster
NOTE: **Note:**
Kubernetes integration is not supported for arm64 clusters. See the issue [Helm Tiller fails to install on arm64 cluster](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/64044) for details.
To add an existing Kubernetes cluster to your project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Operations > Kubernetes** page.
NOTE: **Note:**
You need Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) and above to access the Kubernetes page.
1. Click **Add Kubernetes cluster**.
1. Click **Add an existing Kubernetes cluster** and fill in the details:
- **Kubernetes cluster name** (required) - The name you wish to give the cluster.
- **Environment scope** (required) - The
[associated environment](#setting-the-environment-scope-premium) to this cluster.
- **API URL** (required) -
It's the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes
exposes several APIs, we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them,
e.g., `https://kubernetes.example.com` rather than `https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1`.
Get the API URL by running this command:
```sh
kubectl cluster-info | grep 'Kubernetes master' | awk '/http/ {print $NF}'
```
- **CA certificate** (required) - A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to authenticate to the cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
- List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
`default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- Get the certificate by running this command:
```sh
kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
```
NOTE: **Note:**
If the command returns the entire certificate chain, you need copy the *root ca*
certificate at the bottom of the chain.
- **Token** -
GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
scoped to a particular `namespace`.
**The token used should belong to a service account with
[`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles)
privileges.** To create this service account:
1. Create a file called `gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: gitlab-admin
namespace: kube-system
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: gitlab-admin
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: gitlab-admin
namespace: kube-system
```
1. Apply the service account and cluster role binding to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
serviceaccount "gitlab-admin" created
clusterrolebinding "gitlab-admin" created
```
1. Retrieve the token for the `gitlab-admin` service account:
```bash
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep gitlab-admin | awk '{print $1}')
```
Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:
```yaml
Name: gitlab-admin-token-b5zv4
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>

Type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
Data
====
ca.crt: 1025 bytes
namespace: 11 bytes
token: <authentication_token>
```
NOTE: **Note:**
For GKE clusters, you will need the
`container.clusterRoleBindings.create` permission to create a cluster
role binding. You can follow the [Google Cloud
documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access)
to grant access.
- **GitLab-managed cluster** - Leave this checked if you want GitLab to manage namespaces and service accounts for this cluster. See the [Managed clusters section](#gitlab-managed-clusters) for more information.
- **Project namespace** (optional) - You don't have to fill it in; by leaving
it blank, GitLab will create one for you. Also:
- Each project should have a unique namespace.
- The project namespace is not necessarily the namespace of the secret, if
you're using a secret with broader permissions, like the secret from `default`.
- You should **not** use `default` as the project namespace.
- If you or someone created a secret specifically for the project, usually
with limited permissions, the secret's namespace and project namespace may
be the same.
1. Finally, click the **Create Kubernetes cluster** button.
After a couple of minutes, your cluster will be ready to go. You can now proceed
to install some [pre-defined applications](#installing-applications).
### Enabling or disabling integration
After you have successfully added your cluster information, you can enable the
Kubernetes cluster integration:
1. Click the **Enabled/Disabled** switch
1. Hit **Save** for the changes to take effect
To disable the Kubernetes cluster integration, follow the same procedure.
### Removing integration

### Access controls
When creating a cluster in GitLab, you will be asked if you would like to create either:
- An [Attribute-based access control (ABAC)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/abac/) cluster.
- A [Role-based access control (RBAC)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/) cluster.
NOTE: **Note:**
[RBAC](#rbac-cluster-resources) is recommended and the GitLab default.
GitLab creates the necessary service accounts and privileges to install and run
[GitLab managed applications](#installing-applications). When GitLab creates the cluster,
a `gitlab` service account with `cluster-admin` privileges is created in the `default` namespace
to manage the newly created cluster.
NOTE: **Note:**
Restricted service account for deployment was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/51716) in GitLab 11.5.
When you install Helm into your cluster, the `tiller` service account
is created with `cluster-admin` privileges in the `gitlab-managed-apps`
namespace. This service account will be added to the installed Helm Tiller and will
be used by Helm to install and run [GitLab managed applications](#installing-applications).
Helm will also create additional service accounts and other resources for each
installed application. Consult the documentation of the Helm charts for each application
for details.
If you are [adding an existing Kubernetes cluster](#add-existing-kubernetes-cluster),
ensure the token of the account has administrator privileges for the cluster.
The resources created by GitLab differ depending on the type of cluster.
#### ABAC cluster resources
GitLab creates the following resources for ABAC clusters.
| Name | Type | Details | Created when |
|:----------------------|:---------------------|:-------------------------------------|:---------------------------|
| `gitlab` | `ServiceAccount` | `default` namespace | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `gitlab-token` | `Secret` | Token for `gitlab` ServiceAccount | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `tiller` | `ServiceAccount` | `gitlab-managed-apps` namespace | Installing Helm Tiller |
| `tiller-admin` | `ClusterRoleBinding` | `cluster-admin` roleRef | Installing Helm Tiller |
| Environment namespace | `Namespace` | Contains all environment-specific resources | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `ServiceAccount` | Uses namespace of environment | Deploying to a cluster |
| Environment namespace | `Secret` | Token for environment ServiceAccount | Deploying to a cluster |
#### RBAC cluster resources
GitLab creates the following resources for RBAC clusters.
| Name | Type | Details | Created when |
|:----------------------|:---------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------|
| `gitlab` | `ServiceAccount` | `default` namespace | Creating a new GKE Cluster |
| `gitlab-admin` | `ClusterRoleBinding` | [`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles) roleRef | Creating a new GKE Cluster |

| Environment namespace | `RoleBinding` | [`edit`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles) roleRef | Deploying to a cluster |
NOTE: **Note:**
Environment-specific resources are only created if your cluster is [managed by GitLab](#gitlab-managed-clusters).
NOTE: **Note:**
If your cluster was created before GitLab 12.2, it will use a single namespace for all project environments.
#### Security of GitLab Runners
GitLab Runners have the [privileged mode](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#the-privileged-mode)
enabled by default, which allows them to execute special commands and running
Docker in Docker. This functionality is needed to run some of the
[Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)
jobs. This implies the containers are running in privileged mode and you should,
therefore, be aware of some important details.
The privileged flag gives all capabilities to the running container, which in
turn can do almost everything that the host can do. Be aware of the
inherent security risk associated with performing `docker run` operations on
arbitrary images as they effectively have root access.
If you don't want to use GitLab Runner in privileged mode, either:
- Use shared Runners on GitLab.com. They don't have this security issue.
- Set up your own Runners using configuration described at
[Shared Runners](../../gitlab_com/index.md#shared-runners). This involves:
1. Making sure that you don't have it installed via
[the applications](#installing-applications).

Once installed, you may see a `?` for "Ingress IP Address". This is because the
created ELB is available at a DNS name, not an IP address. To get the DNS name,
run:
```sh
kubectl get service ingress-nginx-ingress-controller -n gitlab-managed-apps -o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}"
```
Note that you may see a trailing `%` on some Kubernetes versions, **do not include it**.
The Ingress is now available at this address and will route incoming requests to
the proper service based on the DNS name in the request. To support this, a
wildcard DNS CNAME record should be created for the desired domain name. For example,
`*.myekscluster.com` would point to the Ingress hostname obtained earlier.

##### Deploying the GitLab Runner (optional)
If the project is on GitLab.com, free shared Runners are available and you do
not have to deploy one. If a project specific Runner is desired, or there are no
shared Runners, it is easy to deploy one.
Simply click on the **Install** button for the GitLab Runner. It is important to
note that the Runner deployed is set as **privileged**, which means it essentially
has root access to the underlying machine. This is required to build docker images,
and so is on by default.
##### Deploying Prometheus (optional)
GitLab is able to monitor applications automatically, utilizing
[Prometheus](../integrations/prometheus.html). Kubernetes container CPU and
memory metrics are automatically collected, and response metrics are retrieved
from NGINX Ingress as well.
To enable monitoring, simply install Prometheus into the cluster with the
**Install** button.
