Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to use IRSA with EKS for Percona MongoDB operator for backup to S3 bucket, i don’t see anything in the documentation.

Cheers.

Hi @ki0,

The operator doesn’t support IRSA but the next release (1.12.0) will introduce support for authenticating using EC2 profiles as described in [Automate access to S3 buckets for Percona Backup for MongoDB — Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.8 Documentation](https://docs.percona.com/percona-backup-mongodb/automate-s3-access.html). Version 1.12.0 will be out soon, so stay tuned.
