How do I update a Fargate profile with eksctl?

I created an AWS EKS Fargate cluster with the following Fargate profile

fargateProfiles:
  - name: fp-fluxcd
    selectors:
      - namespace: fluxcd

How do I either add (or change) the namespace so it looks like this?

fargateProfiles:
  - name: fp-fluxcd
    selectors:
      - namespace: fluxcd
      - namespace: flux-system

I updated the config file and tried eksctl upgrade -f my-cluster.yml to no avail.

I guess another way to skin the cat is to add the fargate nodes to a namespace? How to do that?

Solution

  • As you can see in the AWS Fargate profile documentation:

    Fargate profiles are immutable. However, you can create a new updated profile to replace an existing profile and then delete the original after the updated profile has finished creating.

    Fargate profiles are immutable by design, so there is no update command. In my opinion you should use eksctl create fargateprofile and eksctl delete fargateprofile commands instead.
