Implementation of EKS setup using Terraform. Terraform module located in terraform directory supports deployment to different AWS partitions. I have tested it with commercial
and china
partitions. I am actively using this configuration to run EKS setup in Ireland(eu-west-1), North Virginia(us-east-1) and Beijing(cn-north-1).
Module creates:
- VPC
- VPC Endpoints- S3, ECR, STS, APS, GuardDuty
- EKS Cluster
- EKS Node Group to run cluster critical services
- EKS Addons- coredns, kube-proxy, guardduty, aws-ebs-csi-driver, adot (requires cert-manger to be installed), kubecost
- IAM Roles for worker nodes and Karpenter nodes
- Additional IAM Roles for operators- load-balancer-controller, external-dns, cert-manager, adot-collector
- SQS queue configuraiton to be used with Karpeneter while utlising Spot Instances.
I am utilising Flux2 to deploy all additional configurations. You can find them at https://github.com/marcincuber/kubernetes-fluxv2 I have built this as a separate repository to show how to develop a successful configuration for your cluster using GitOps FluxV2 and Helm.
You will find configurations for:
- ALB ingress controller
- AWS Load Balancer controller
- AWS node termination handler
- Calico
- Cert Manager
- Cluster Autoscaler
- Dashboard
- External-DNS
- External Secrets Operator
- Metrics server
- Reloader
- VPC CNI Plugin
- EBS CSI Driver
- and more :)

On user's machine who has been added to EKS, they can configure .kube/config file using the following command:
$ aws eks list-clusters
$ aws eks update-kubeconfig --name ${cluster_name}
