An implementation of the Kubernetes Custom Metrics API and External Metrics API for AWS CloudWatch metrics.
This adapter allows you to scale your Kubernetes deployment using the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) with metrics from AWS CloudWatch.
This adapter requires the following permissions to access metric data from Amazon CloudWatch.
- cloudwatch:GetMetricData
- cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics
- cloudwatch:ListMetrics
You can create an IAM policy using this template, and attach it to the Service Account Role if you are using kube2iam.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"cloudwatch:GetMetricData",
"cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics",
"cloudwatch:ListMetrics"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}Requires a Kubernetes cluster with Metric Server deployed, Amazon EKS cluster is fine too.
Now deploy the adapter to your Kubernetes cluster:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/awslabs/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter/master/deploy/adapter.yaml
namespace/custom-metrics created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter:system:auth-delegator created

clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter-resource-reader created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter:external-metrics-reader created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/externalmetrics.metrics.aws created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter:crd-metrics-reader created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/k8s-cloudwatch-adapter:crd-metrics-reader createdThis creates a new namespace custom-metrics and deploys the necessary ClusterRole, Service Account,
Role Binding, along with the deployment of the adapter.
Alternatively the adapter can be deployed using the Helm chart in the /chart directory:
$ helm install k8s-cloudwatch-adapter ./chart \
> --namespace custom-metrics \
> --create-namespace
NAME: k8s-cloudwatch-adapter
LAST DEPLOYED: Fri Aug 14 13:20:17 2020
NAMESPACE: custom-metrics
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: NoneNext you can query the APIs to see if the adapter is deployed correctly by running:
$ kubectl get --raw "/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1" | jq .
{
"kind": "APIResourceList",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"groupVersion": "external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1",
"resources": [
]
}There is a sample SQS application provided in this repository for you to test how the adapter works. Refer to this guide
