Node name conventions

AWS supports two naming conventions: IP-based or resource-based naming.

When IP-based naming is used, the nodes must be named after the instance followed by the regional domain name (ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ec2.<region>.internal). If you have custom domain name set in the DHCP options, you must set --hostname-override on kube-proxy and kubelet to match the above-mentioned naming convention.

When resource based naming is used, the node must be named after the instance either with or without a domain name (i-1234567890abcdefg or i-1234567890abcdefg.<region>.compute.internal). A custom domain name, configured through DHCP options, may also be used.

IAM Policies

For the aws-cloud-controller-manager to be able to communicate to AWS APIs, you will need to create a few IAM policies for your EC2 instances. The control plane (formerly master) policy is a bit open and can be scaled back depending on the use case. Adjust these based on your needs.
