How to work with AWS cloud controller manager

Question

I am trying to expose my applications running in my kubernetes cluster through AWS load balancer. I followed the document https://cloudyuga.guru/blog/cloud-controller-manager and got till the point where i added --cloud-provider=external in kubeadm.conf file. But this document is based on Digitial Ocean cloud and i'm working on AWS, i'm confused if i have to run any deployment.yaml file to get the pods running which are in pending status if so please provide me the link, i'm stuck at this point.

Answer 1

The coredns pods are pending because you have not installed a Pod Network add-on yet. From the docs here you can choose any supported Pod Network add-on. For example to use calico

kubectl apply -f https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.14/manifests/calico.yaml

After the Pod Network add-on is installed the coredns pods should come up.
