AWS Batch with Amazon EKS

Question

I am trying to use AWS Batch with Amazon EKS but cannot create the Compute Environment through AWS CDK. My current eks cluster is configured with public and private access with many CIDR blocks but not `0.0.0.0/0`. Here is the error:
`12:05:13 PM | CREATE_FAILED        | AWS::Batch::ComputeEnvironment | batchjobtest
Resource handler returned message: "EKS cluster must use API server endpoint that has public access and is accessible to the public internet. `

I don't want to allow `0.0.0.0/0` CIDR block on my EKS cluster. Is there any other way around it?

Answer

Hello,

As mentioned in the prerequisites of documentation[1] and seen in the error, it is necessary for the API server endpoint to be accessible to the public internet (0.0.0.0/0) and unfortunately there is no workaround at the moment.
