Amazon-vpc-cni-k8s: Metrics to cloudwatch without VPC endpoint

[SimplySeth]

Can the metrics be sent to CW via proxy ?
Our clusters are private only and I cannot send the metrics to the dashboard.
Is VPC endpoint the only option?
Thanks.

Hi @SimplySeth,

The current cni-metrics-helper is very simple and just pushes metrics directly to Cloud Watch using the default CloudWatch Client from the AWS SDK. The closest related roadmap item is probably https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/387.

Supporting a proxy would require some code changes in the current metrics helper.

@SimplySeth, the easiest way that I can think of here would be to create a ConfigMap and patch the CNI metric helper deployment pod with that configMap. This way, all the traffic leaving the pod(CNI metric helper pod) would use these proxy variable to reach CloudWatch endpoints.

For similar setup, please refer to - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-http-proxy-configuration-automation/
