Amazon-eks-ami: How do I configure Kube controller?

[ChrisCooney]

We're looking into how to make our pod eviction timeout shorter so that our cluster can respond to dead nodes quicker. At present, I can't see a single place to inject the --pod-eviction-timeout flag.

Is this a feature that hasn't been implemented yet or am I missing something?

In EKS, the kube-controller-manager is managed by AWS (along with the other components) and you cannot modify its parameters.

This AMI is only meant for the worker nodes; you can only modify the parameters of the kubelet here.

Understood - was hoping there might be something that I'd missed. Given it's not relevant, happy to close the issue.

Is this still not supported ? I had a similar configuration to add (HPA scale down delay --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-delay) @ChrisCooney Did you find a workaround?

Afraid not! There is an open issue on the AWS container road map repository for it though.
