Verify EKS Anywhere cluster status
Note
- To check the status of a single cluster, configure
kubectlto communicate with the cluster by setting theKUBECONFIGenvironment variable to point to your cluster’skubeconfigfile. - To check the status of workload clusters from a management cluster, configure
kubectlwith thekubeconfigof the management cluster.
Check cluster nodes
To verify the expected number of cluster nodes are present and running, use the kubectl command to show that nodes are Ready.
Worker nodes are named using the cluster name followed by the worker node group name. In the example below, the cluster name is mgmt and the worker node group name is md-0. The other nodes shown in the response are control plane or etcd nodes.
kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
mgmt-clrt4 Ready control-plane 3d22h v1.27.1-eks-61789d8
mgmt-md-0-5557f7c7bxsjkdg-l2kpt Ready <none> 3d22h v1.27.1-eks-61789d8
Check cluster machines
To verify that the expected number of cluster machines are present and running, use the kubectl command to show that the machines are Running.
The machine objects are named using the cluster name as a prefix and there should be one created for each node in your cluster. In the example below, the command was run against a management cluster with a single attached workload cluster. When the command is run against a management cluster, all machines for the management cluster and attached workload clusters are shown.
kubectl get machines -A

Check cluster components
To verify cluster components are present and running, use the kubectl command to show that the system Pods are Running. The number of Pods may vary based on the infrastructure provider (vSphere, bare metal, Snow, Nutanix, CloudStack), and whether the cluster is a workload cluster or a management cluster.
kubectl get pods -A

Check control plane components
You can verify the control plane is present and running by filtering Pods by the control-plane=controller-manager label.
kubectl get pod -A -l control-plane=controller-manager

Check workload clusters from management clusters
Set up CLUSTER_NAME and KUBECONFIG environment variable for the management cluster:
export CLUSTER_NAME=mgmt
export KUBECONFIG=${CLUSTER_NAME}/${CLUSTER_NAME}-eks-a-cluster.kubeconfig
Check control plane resources for all clusters
Use the command below to check the status of cluster control plane resources. This is useful to verify clusters with multiple control plane nodes after an upgrade. The status for the management cluster and all attached workload clusters is shown.
kubectl get kubeadmcontrolplanes.controlplane.cluster.x-k8s.io -n eksa-system

Use the command below to check the status of a cluster resource. This is useful to verify cluster health after any mutating cluster lifecycle operation. The status for the management cluster and all attached workload clusters is shown.
