I am trying to replicate what the

pulumi-eks

package does in golang but I appear to get an error. I'm trying to update the configmap for

aws-auth

. In the nodejs/eks version it does this

const eksNodeAccess = new k8s.core.v1.ConfigMap(`${name}-nodeAccess`, {
        apiVersion: "v1",
        metadata: {
            name: `aws-auth`,
            namespace: "kube-system",
        },
        data: nodeAccessData,
    }, { parent, provider: k8sProvider });

Which appears to work by actually altering the configmap. However in golang when I try do the same I get an error

_, err = corev1.NewConfigMap(ctx, "aws-auth", &corev1.ConfigMapArgs{
			Metadata: &metav1.ObjectMetaArgs{
				Name: pulumi.String("aws-auth"),
				Namespace: pulumi.String("kube-system"),
			},
			Data:       pulumi.StringMap{
				"mapRoles": roleConfig,
			},
		}, pulumi.Provider(kubeProvider))

The error is

resource kube-system/aws-auth was not successfully created by the Kubernetes API server : configmaps "aws-auth" already exists

That rationale tracks, the issue is likely the name conflict, not the language SDK.

Ok so that is exactly what happened. you need to create the configmap before any managed node groups else it creates it automatically
