How to specify `--asg-access` in config file with eksctl?

Question

I am trying to create a Kubernetes on AWS EKS cluster using eksctl with autoscaling enabled using proper IAM permissions. As per the documentation:

You can create a cluster (or nodegroup in an existing cluster) with IAM role that will allow use of cluster autoscaler:

eksctl create cluster --asg-access

I am trying to run

eksctl create cluster --asg-access -f myconfig.yml

But getting this error:

[✖]  cannot use --asg-access when --config-file/-f is set

Is their a way to use --asg-access within the config file? I try to look for a related config in the config file schema doc to no avail.

Answer 1

You can enable autoscaling within config file without passing asg-access flag, i.e.

iam:
  withAddonPolicies:
    autoScaler: true

Thanks, that's on the nodegroup level, but is it possible on the cluster level? – Paleogeography

@PierreB I don't think you can make it on cluster level. – Decato

I ended-up doing it on the nodegroup level as you suggested – Paleogeography
