[docs] Add documentation for using eBPF with AWS EKS AMI #4719

Open stevehipwell opened 3 years ago

stevehipwell commented 3 years ago

Expected Behavior

Now that the official AWS EKS AMI is using a v5.4 kernel for EKS versions of v1.19 or greater it'd be great to have the documentation reflected to show eBPF being used on the official AMI.

Current Behavior

Only documentation of eBPF for Bottlerocket or a custom AMI based on Ubuntu.

Possible Solution

Test for extra required config on official AMI and update docuemntation.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

n/a

Context

This would open up the user base for Calico eBPF.

Your Environment

EKS with official AMI.

Thanks for the heads up, yes, 100% we'd like to update the docs for the default AMI but to make that change we need to go through a test cycle to validate it. Do you happen to have tested it; does it just work?

@fasaxc I haven't been able to test this yet as I'm currently waiting on v3.20 to fix the non-Calico CNI issues and to provide a published Helm chart for the operator so I can migrate off the legacy AWS Helm chart. Once v3.20 is released running a quick test is on my list of things to do once I've implemented the operator.
