Hey all, i am building out a new cluster (testing pulumi) and I am having issues setting the storageclass to be

default

with gp2. It creates the storage class but does not make it default.... here is my eks settings

import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx";
import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";
import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

import { awsProvider } from "./providers";
import { awsProfile, desiredSize, eksClusterName, eksVersion, instanceType, minSize, maxSize, tags } from "./variables";

// Create a VPC for our cluster.
export const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc(`${eksClusterName}-vpc`,
  {
    assignGeneratedIpv6CidrBlock: false,
    cidrBlock: "10.0.0.0/16",
    enableDnsHostnames: true,
    enableNetworkAddressUsageMetrics: true,
    tags: tags,
  },
  {
    provider: awsProvider,
  },
);

// Create an EKS cluster without node group configuration.
export const cluster = new eks.Cluster(`${eksClusterName}-cluster`,
  {
    enabledClusterLogTypes: [
      "api",
      "audit",
      "authenticator",
      "controllerManager",
      "scheduler",
    ],
    endpointPrivateAccess: true,
    endpointPublicAccess: true,
    name: eksClusterName,
    nodeRootVolumeEncrypted: true,
    nodeRootVolumeSize: 200,
    providerCredentialOpts: { profileName: awsProfile },
    subnetIds: vpc.publicSubnetIds,
    tags: tags,
    version: eksVersion,
    vpcId: vpc.vpcId,
  },
  {
    dependsOn: [vpc],
    provider: awsProvider,
  },
);

// Create an EKS managed node group.
new eks.ManagedNodeGroup(`${eksClusterName}-node-group`,
  {
    cluster: cluster,
    instanceTypes: [instanceType],
    nodeGroupName: `${eksClusterName}-nodegroup`,
    nodeRoleArn: cluster.instanceRoles[0].arn,
    diskSize: 200,
    tags: tags,

    scalingConfig: {
      desiredSize: desiredSize,
      maxSize: maxSize,
      minSize: minSize,
    },
  },
  {
    dependsOn: [cluster],
    provider: awsProvider,
  },
);

Where and how are you defining the storage class? (I don't see a Pulumi StorageClass resource in the code you shared.) To mark a storage class as "default," you need to annotate it, see this howto in the Kubernetes documentation. As far as I'm aware, Pulumi does not provide an abstraction for this. (Keep in mind that at most one storage class can be marked as "default", so if you already have a default storage class, you'll have to adjust its annotation accordingly.)

i wasn't defining a storageclass, but when i ran the kubectl get sc there was one so I assumed it was in the eks.cluster or managenodegroup

Per the docs, you can define this in two ways: • You can set

storage_classes="gp2"

on the

eks.Cluster

resource, which will make a default storage class with

gp2

(see https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/blob/12c643b3db4534be5c7b11c13603e5d8ce59a632/nodejs/eks/cluster.ts#L878) • You pass a map of storage classes and mark one of them as default According to the note in the documentation, you should also get a default

gp2

storage class automatically.
