The contents of this repo are based on the steps outlined in Terraform's AWS EKS introduction.

Up and running

Basic knowledge of AWS, Kubernetes and Terraform is required to use this script to create an Kubernetes cluster in AWS. To setup EKS with these scripts you need to have the following already setup:

aws-sudo enables you to authenticate against AWS with a specific profile. This is particularly useful if you manage credentials for different AWS accounts on the same computer. Follow instructions on the aws-sudo page to setup a profile and call it the eks-demo profile.

Make sure you have the latest version of aws-cli installed.

There are detailed steps in AWS docs that walk you through how to properly setup credentials for aws-cli.

Commands

Command Description
make init Initialize terraform. Must be run once.
make plan Plan changes to AWS infrastructure.
make apply Apply changes to AWS infrastructure. You will be prompted to proceed before actual changes are applied. This could take up to 10 minutes if you are doing this for the first time.
make update Automatically update your kube config in ~/.kube/config or the path set with environment variable KUBECONFIG.
make auth Add aws authentication details to local Kubernetes configuration
make output Retrieve output of the most recently applied changes.
make destroy Delete all infrastructure.

Note Until you run make destroy, you may continue to attract charges on your AWS account. Be sure to destroy infrastructure while you have no need for it.

Setting up the cluster

  • Run make init
  • Run make all

If the later command displays a table listing two pods, this means your setup was completed successfully.

Feel free to open an issue should you face any challenges.
