Sysbox EKS AMI

Packer script for building an AMI with pre-installed Sysbox based on an Ubuntu EKS AMI.

Usage

1. Install HashiCorp Packer
2. Run packer init .
3. Ensure you have a patched CRI-O binary (for the Linux kernel 5.13) The packer definition contains commented-out instructions on building the patched binary as part of the packer build. This is a very slow process so by default it copies the file instead. You could run the same commands on any Ubuntu 20.04 system and scp the binary to use it here.
4. Run packer build .

Differences from the Ubuntu EKS AMI

• Installs Sysbox
• Installs shiftfs
• Installs CRI-O + patches the binary using the Sysbox fork
• Configures CRI-O as the Sysbox Kubernetes installer would
• Configures CRI-O to work with Sysbox
• Sets kubelet-eks to use CRI-O by default
• Adds Sysbox to the list of CRI-O runtimes
