eks-node-diagnostic

Friendly NodeDiagnostic apply with no dependency required

🤔 Why we need this? what it is trying to resolve?

Back on December 3, 2024, Amazon EKS announced Amazon EKS Auto Mode and how to use NodeDiagnostic for troubleshooting. However, not all computers have a pre-set Python environment, and it may be difficult for people who are not familiar with Python, let alone solving package dependencies, version conflicts, and virtual environment setting issues.

To remove these obstacles, eks-node-diagnostic comes to solve this complex problem, aiming to simplify the entire process into executing binaries, easy to install without having to deal with Python dependencies.

🔢 Prerequisites

• An existing Amazon EKS cluster with the node monitoring agent.
• An existing kubeconfig.
• Grant IAM users and roles access to Kubernetes APIs.
• An existing Amazon S3 bucket for storing node logs generated by NodeDiagnostic.
• An IAM Role/User with s3:PutObject permission (to generate presigned S3 url).

👀 Key differences with official guidance

• Single executable binary only, no Python and no AWS SDK required.
• Run anywhere, compatible with Linux (amd64/arm64), Windows (amd64 only), macOS (amd64/arm64).
• Friendly setup with Homebrew for mac users.

🚀 Quick start

Make sure you are running with v1.2.0 (or newer version)
