Deploy a full AWS EKS cluster with Terraform along with Autoscaled Gitlab Runners, Fluentd, Prometheus, Grafana Dashboards. Use the power of open source and give back to community :)

What resources are created

1. VPC
2. Internet Gateway (IGW)
3. Public and Private Subnets
4. Security Groups, Route Tables and Route Table Associations
5. IAM roles, instance profiles and policies
6. An EKS Cluster
7. Autoscaling group and Launch Configuration
8. Worker Nodes in a private Subnet
9. The ConfigMap required to register Nodes with EKS
10. KUBECONFIG file to authenticate kubectl

Configuration

You can configure you config with the following input variables:

Name	Description	Default
cluster-name	The name of your EKS Cluster	eks-demo
aws-region	The AWS Region to deploy EKS	us-east-1
instance-type	Worker Node EC2 instance type	m4.large
asg-desired	Autoscaling Desired node capacity	1
asg-max	Autoscaling Maximum node capacity	1
asg-min	Autoscaling Minimum node capacity	1
vpc-cidr	VPC CIDR	10.0.0.0/16
vpc-public-cidrs	VPC Public subnets	["10.0.0.0/24", "10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24"]
vpc-private-cidrs	VPC Private subnets	["10.0.10.0/23", "10.0.12.0/23", "10.0.14.0/23"]

Terraform

You need to run the following commands to create the resources with Terraform:

terraform init
terraform plan -out eks-demo
terraform apply "eks-demo"

Setup kubectl

Setup your KUBECONFIG

terraform output kubeconfig > ${HOME}/.kube/config-eks-demo
export KUBECONFIG=$KUBECONFIG:~/.kube/config-eks-demo
echo 'export KUBECONFIG=$KUBECONFIG:~/.kube/config-eks-demo' >> ~/.bash_profiles   (macOSX)

or

echo 'export KUBECONFIG=$KUBECONFIG:~/.kube/config-eks-demo' >> ~/.bashrc  (linux)

Authorize worker nodes

Get the config from terraform output, and save it to a yaml file:

terraform output config-map > config-map-aws-auth.yaml

Apply the config map to EKS:

kubectl apply -f config-map-aws-auth.yaml

You can verify the worker nodes are joining the cluster and becoming ready

kubectl get nodes --watch

Great EKS is all setup! head over to other folders and start deploying....

Cleaning up

You can destroy this cluster and vpc entirely by running:

terraform destroy
