Unable to provision Pod in EKS cluster configured with Fargate

Question

I have recently setup an EKS cluster with Fargate. When I tried to deploy Redis Service on k8s using guide, I am getting the following errors:

• Pod provisioning timed out (will retry) for pod: default/redis-operator-79d6d769dc-j246j
• Disabled logging because aws-logging configmap was not found. configmap "aws-logging" not found

For solving the above errors, I tried the following solutions but none of them worked

• Created a NAT gateway for granting internet connection to the instances in the private subnets.
• Updated CoreDNS to run pods on Fargate. Reference

Answer 1

The NAT gateway that I created was in the private subnet. The private subnets themselves don't have any access to the internet. Hence, I was stuck in a loop. By creating a nat gateway in a public subnet and then adding in the router table of private subnets being used by the EKS cluster I was able to schedule the pods
