eks: Add EKS Auto Mode support to Cluster L2 construct

[zjaco13]

Describe the feature

AWS Announced EKS Auto Mode on Dec 1st, enabling customers to fully automate cluster management for compute, storage, and networking. The CloudFormation changes for EKS Auto Mode enablement are adding a ComputeConfig field in the Cluster resource. Supporting this field would enable customers to easily create EKS Auto Mode or enable it on existing clusters.

Use Case

Create/Enable EKS Auto Mode on new or existing clusters for fully automated cluster management.

Proposed Solution

Add support for the ComputeConfig Field to the EKS Cluster L2 construct

Hi @zjaco13 , thanks for staying on top of the AWS cloudformation updates for EKS. Looks like its supported by cloudformation, so should be feasible to have support by CDK as well. Contributions are welcome.

@khushail
Is there any plan for L1 construct support? not seeing the ComputeConfig been added here
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_eks.CfnCluster.html

[khushail]

@Issacwww , cloudformation docs mention about supporting this property-
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-eks-cluster-computeconfig.html

and in the resource specification doc, you can also see this as mentioned -

Hopefully docs would reflect the latest changes in next cadence. Hope that helps!

Ah, Thanks for confirming, @khushail, makes sense if just doc delay, I will try the latest cdk version

Is it possible to use an escape hatch to modify the L1 construct from the L2 construct for an EKS Cluster?

I am trying:

const cfnCluster = cluster.node.defaultChild as eks.CfnCluster
cfnCluster.computeConfig = {
  enabled: true,
  nodePools: ["system"],
  nodeRoleArn: nodeRole.roleArn,
}

But that is not working, maybe due to #18620. Is the eks.CfnCluster available under a different node than cluster.node.defaultChild?

Requires JavaScript SDK >= 3.703.0 and latest CloudFormation schema

hi, any update on that PR ?

[Issacwww]

run into a blocker during the test, we are discussing internally for a solution. cc @xazhao

Hey @Issacwww , do know if we could have an ETA on this?

[xazhao]

Hi All,

The PR from @Issacwww is currently blocked because the Lambda built-in SDK is outdated. The outdated SDK doesn't support the new EKS Auto Mode feature. The lambda team is working on updating the SDK and it's expected to be done by mid Feb. Once that is done, we can resume working on the PR.

[xazhao]

We're also working on the new EKS V2 module which uses native CFN resource instead of API to create the cluster. Auto Mode will be added to that module later. Also escape hatch should work in that module.

Great. Would there be a migration plan from aws_eks.Cluster to the V2?
