Hi Fabien. Not an answer directly to your question, still I'd like to bring your attention to https://github.com/rancher/quickstart as there is an AWS quickstart (not on EKS though)

Hi @wide-spoon-87065 👋 What version is your EKS cluster?

Hi Richard ! it's 1.22 , and talking with a colleague, the issue might be that I'm using "private" subnets and not public ones, so need to find a way to specify "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: true" when deploying the Nginx controler

you can also try the 'Rancher Setup' Marketplace offering which does all this for you. https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-go7ent7goo5ae?sr=0-4&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa

I'm going to try deploying Rancher through the AWS Marketplace to see how it works, I wanted to check: is this the best way to deploy Rancher in AWS ? (will be used to manage K8s clusters on-prem and in the Cloud). Options are using EKS and deploy rancher manually via Helm, or standing up a RKE2 cluster on top of on-demand EC2 and installing Rancher on top, or using the Rancher AWS Marketplace (thinking at support, upgrade etc.)

The Rancher Setup in the Marketplace will help you do do it "quick & easy" If you want to have more control of your AWS setup (and I'm thinking VPC connections & all), you might want to have more control on the actual AWS setup
