These terraform modules can be used to create managed Kubernetes cluster(EKS) and ALB in AWS.

There are two approaches to create ALB to EKS cluster

• Using ALB Ingress controller
• Using traditional ALB

1. ALB Ingress controller:
   • This approach involves us to deploy ingress-controller pod and ingress service pods in EKS cluster and a service account which can do this on our behalf.
2. Traditional ALB:
   • Pre-requisite:
     • NodePort service is used in EKS cluster.
   • We can eliminate the deployment of pods in cluster, instead create aws resources through terraform
   • Created ALB will route its requests to EKS cluster.
