Any update on this?

@FarshadNiayesh

--create-namespace will be shipped in Helm v3.2.0 https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/7648#issuecomment-610393425

Will continue this when v3.2.0 is released.

[FarshadNiayesh]

@pahud seems like Helm v3.2.0 is released. Should we expect this feature any time soon in CDK?

[pahud]

@FarshadNiayesh Absolutely. I'll try it in my environment tomorrow and see how it works. Thanks.

This would help me also

Any update on this @pahud ? This would make the combination CDK + EKS + Helm so much easier to work with :-)

[pahud]

I'll look into this again and get back to this thread tomorrow. Thanks for the headsup.

Would be nice to include this as part of #6279

@pahud can we also include the latest CLI in this upgrade so it will address https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/6279#issuecomment-648619829

Yap. Just bumpped aws-lambda-layer-kubectl to release 2.0.0 with the latest kubectl, awscli and helm3.

Layer is also available in SAR and might take 24-48hours to replicate to all global regions.

I will test the latest layer in the next 1-2 days and create a PR for aws-eks cdk construct.

kubectl | v1.16.8-eks-e16311
-- | --
awscli | 1.18.86
helm | 3.2.4
jq | 1.6
GNU Make | 3.82
