Container Insights EKS Fargate docs are lacking detail
marchchad opened this issue · comments
Describe the question
I'm trying to follow this guide for configuring ADOT for EKS Fargate, however I have yet to be successful with getting the adot-collector-0 pod to successfully scrape the prometheus metrics and I've yet to see the CloudWatch Log Group get created.
Steps to reproduce if your question is related to an action
Follow the linked guide as is to stand up a cluster from scratch and I expect that it will not succeed.
What did you expect to see?
The prerequisites for this configuration are lacking in detail. For example, they refer to the AWS docs for creating a cluster using eksctl or the Management Console. The issue with referring to that is those docs have so many branch points on optional configuration that it's unclear which of those optional configurations are actually required to support the deployment of ADOT.
Additionally, the docs say any version of eks k8s above 1.21, however this is incorrect as there is definitely an upper limit to the supported version because 1.30 is not supported. Also the most recent test run of this add-on only covers up to 1.27 for fargate: #2429
If 1.27 is the upper limit for what is supported, that's fine, but it needs to be documented in the actual guides/documentation and not in a closed PR.
Environment
I've attempted to configure this for AWS EKS Fargate 1.29 and 1.30 and neither have succeeded.
