For a full list of configuration options see our [Helm readme](https://github.com/aws/eks-charts/tree/master/stable/aws-node-termination-handler).

## Use with Kiam
To use the termination handler alongside [Kiam](https://github.com/uswitch/kiam) requires some extra configuration on Kiam's end.
By default Kiam will block all access to the metadata address, so you need to make sure it passes through the requests the termination handler relies on.

To add a whitelist configuration, use the following fields in the Kiam Helm chart values:
```
agent.whiteListRouteRegexp: '^\/latest\/meta-data\/(spot\/instance-action|events\/maintenance\/scheduled|instance-(id|type)|public-(hostname|ipv4)|local-(hostname|ipv4))$'
```
Or just pass it as an argument to the kiam agents:
```
kiam agent --whitelist-route-regexp='^\/latest\/meta-data\/(spot\/instance-action|events\/maintenance\/scheduled|instance-(id|type)|public-(hostname|ipv4)|local-(hostname|ipv4))$'
```

## Metadata endpoints
The termination handler relies on the following metadata endpoints to function properly:
```
/latest/meta-data/spot/instance-action
/latest/meta-data/events/maintenance/scheduled
/latest/meta-data/instance-id
/latest/meta-data/instance-type
/latest/meta-data/public-hostname
/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4
/latest/meta-data/local-hostname
/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4
```
