Kubernetes DaemonSet that enables a direct shell on each Node using SSH to localhost

Getting a shell on each node

I run several K8S cluster on EKS and by default do not setup inbound SSH to the nodes. Sometimes I need to get into each node to check things or run a one-off tool.

Rather than update my terraform, rebuild the launch templates and redeploy brand new nodes, I decided to use kubernetes to access each node directly.

Alternative option

kubectl get services # List all services
kubectl get pods # List all pods
kubectl get nodes -w # Watch nodes continuously
kubectl version # Get version information
kubectl cluster-info # Get cluster information
kubectl config view # Get the configuration
kubectl describe node <node> # Output information about a node
kubectl get pods # List the current pods
kubectl describe pod <name> # Describe pod <name>
kubectl get rc # List the replication controllers
