Step 3: Deploying Kubecost on an Amazon EKS cluster using Helm​

Step 3.1: Install Prerequisites

eksctl create iamserviceaccount   \\  
    --name ebs-csi-controller-sa   \\  
    --namespace kube-system   \\  
    --cluster kube-cluster-3  \\  
    --attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonEBSCSIDriverPolicy  \\  
    --approve \\  
    --role-only \\  
    --role-name AmazonEKS\_EBS\_CSI\_DriverRole  
      
export_ SERVICE\_ACCOUNT\_ROLE\_ARN=$(aws iam get-role --role-name AmazonEKS\_EBS\_CSI\_DriverRole --output json | jq -r '.Role.Arn')

helm upgrade -i kubecost \\  
oci://public.ecr.aws/kubecost/cost-analyzer --version "1.104.4" \\  
\--namespace kubecost --create-namespace \\  
\-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubecost/cost-analyzer-helm-chart/develop/cost-analyzer/values-eks-cost-monitoring.yaml
