Support for traffic shaping using the calico operator?

[vchan2002]

We are using EKS and Calico, installed using the operator v3.26.1

If I'm reading the documentation correctly...

The traffic shaping plugin should be enabled by default. I verified that the bandwidth binary is present in /opt/cin/bin

I have tried to set a annotation for a pod, and tested it using the following annotations. However, I used iperf to test, and, it does not limit the bandwidth as the annotation is supposed to do.

kubernetes.io/ingress-bandwidth: 1M
kubernetes.io/egress-bandwidth: 1M

Can someone help me understand how the operator sets up the config... are there extra steps required?

Are you using Calico as the CNI type or are you using the Amazon VPC CNI plugin?
If you look at the Installation resource (kubectl get installation default -o yaml), what is the value in the spec.cni.type field. If that field is not Calico then the the operator is not handling the CNI configuration.
