Mesh EKS add-ons services

[arnaud-s]

Hi,

I have EKS cluster deployed using Terraforme EKS module https://registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws/latest.

I successfully installed Linkerd using the helm charts, and managed to mesh all my services in the cluster.

Except the add-ons that were installed when deploying the cluster (coredns, kube-proxy, csi-driver,) basically everything under the kube-system namespace.

I tried to update the addons and add the pod annotation via AWS CLI but it doesn't mesh the service.

Did I miss something? Is there a way to mesh these services?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, we generally don't recommend meshing services under kube-system. This is recommended in the Kubernetes docs ("admission webhooks shouldn't run in kube-system"). We also cover this in our HA docs
