You can run the\nemulator as a sidecar to enable legacy workloads to run in\nGKE on AWS node pools. If you have legacy workloads that don't\nsupport Workload Identity Federation for GKE directly, use this emulator to access IMDS data.\n\nLimitations\n-----------\n\n- Your cluster must use a Kubernetes version of 1.24 or later.\n- The emulator is not supported in the [previous generation](/kubernetes-engine/multi-cloud/docs/aws/previous-generation) of GKE on AWS.\n- The IMDS emulator server only serves credential requests (`API_VERSION/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/`). All other metadata requests return a 404 error.\n- A sidecar deployment requires the init container to have the `NET_ADMIN` and `NET_RAW` [security context capacities](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/). If you're not sure if the container has these contexts, consult your security team.\n- The AWS STS token can last for one hour. The role token from EC2 metadata can last for 24 hours. This shouldn't affect your usage of the emulator, but you might need to know this information during a security audit.\n- The IMDS emulator only emulates IMDSv1 responses. IMDSv2 is not supported.\n\nEnable the emulator\n-------------------\n\nTo enable the IMDS emulator, add a label and an annotation to metadata for a\nPod. You can also enable the emulator using a Deployment, DaemonSet, or any\nother resource that creates Pods:\n\n1. Add the following label and value to your Pod:\n\n gkemulticloud.googleapis.com/aws-imds-emulator-enabled: \"True\"\n\n The only acceptable value for this label is `True`. All other values\n (including `true` with a lowercase `t`) disable the emulator.\n2. Add the following annotation to your Pod:\n\n gkemulticloud.googleapis.com/aws-imds-emulator-role-arn: \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"devsite-syntax-l devsite-syntax-l-Scalar devsite-syntax-l-Scalar-Plain\"\u003eARN_ROLE\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/var\u003e\n\n Replace \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eARN_ROLE\u003c/var\u003e with an Amazon Resource Name\n (ARN) that specifies the role that you want the resource to have.\n\n### Example\n\nThe following example is a Pod with the IMDS emulator enabled: \n\n apiVersion: v1\n kind: Pod\n metadata:\n name: nginx\n labels:\n gkemulticloud.googleapis.com/aws-imds-emulator-enabled: \"True\"\n annotations:\n gkemulticloud.googleapis.com/aws-imds-emulator-role-arn: \"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/my-example-role\"\n spec:\n serviceAccountName: my-sa\n containers:\n - name: nginx\n image: nginx"]]
