# CDK EKS Container Insight This construct configures the necessary dependencies and installs [Amazon CloudWatch Container Insight](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/ContainerInsights.html) on an EKS cluster managed by AWS CDK. ## Using In your CDK project, initialize a new Container Insight construct for your EKS cluster, like this: ```typescript const cluster = new Cluster(this, 'testCluster', { vpc: vpc, role: clusterRole, version: KubernetesVersion.V1_24, kubectlLayer: new KubectlV24Layer(this, 'KubectlLayer'), defaultCapacity: 1 }); new ContainerInsight(this, 'ContainerInsight', { cluster: cluster, }); ``` This will install and configure Container Insight on EC2 managed nodes in your cluster. ## Testing This construct adds a custom task to [projen](https://projen.io/), so you can test a full deployment of an EKS cluster with CloudWatch Container Insight installed as specified in `test/integ.containerinsight.ts` by running the following: ```sh export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION= export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT= npx projen test:deploy ``` And you can valid the construct installation by login in CloudWatch console to ![](images/pic.png) As the above will create a cluster. And the Container Insight will show your how cluster information in CloudWatch. You can clean things up by deleting the deployment and the CDK test stack: ```sh npx projen test:destroy ``` ## Security See [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md#security-issue-notifications) for more information. ## License This project is licensed under the Apache-2.0 License.
