EKS SETUP - AWS
Step - 1 : Create EKS Management Host in AWS🚀
1.Launch new Ubuntu VM using AWS Ec2 ( t2.micro )🎯
2.Connect to machine and install kubectl using below commands📡
curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.19.6/2021-01-05/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin
kubectl version --short --client
3. Install AWS CLI latest version using below commands📥
sudo apt install unzip
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
aws --version
4. Install eksctl using below commands💾
# for ARM systems, set ARCH to: `arm64`, `armv6` or `armv7`
ARCH=amd64
PLATFORM=$(uname -s)_$ARCH
curl -sLO "https://github.com/eksctl-io/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_$PLATFORM.tar.gz"
# (Optional) Verify checksum
curl -sL "https://github.com/eksctl-io/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_checksums.txt" | grep $PLATFORM | sha256sum --check
tar -xzf eksctl_$PLATFORM.tar.gz -C /tmp && rm eksctl_$PLATFORM.tar.gz
sudo mv /tmp/eksctl /usr/local/bin
eksctl version
Step - 2 : Create IAM role & attach to EKS Management Host
Create New Role using IAM service ( Select Usecase – ec2 )
Add below permissions for the role Administrator – access
Enter Role Name (eksroleec2)
Attach created role to EKS Management Host (Select EC2 => Click on Security => Modify IAM Role => attach IAM role we have created)
Step - 3 : Create EKS Cluster using eksctl📝
Syntax📜 :
eksctl create cluster –name cluster-name –region region-name –node-type instance-type –nodes-min 2 –nodes-max 2 –zones “us-east-1a,us-east-1b”
N. Virgina:
Mumbai:
eksctl create cluster --name srtechops-cluster4 --region ap-south-1 --node-type t2.medium --zones ap-south-1a,ap-south-1b
📝 Note: Cluster creation will take 5 to 10 mins of time (we have to wait). After cluster created we can check nodes using below command.
kubectl get nodes
📝Note: We should be able to see EKS cluster nodes here.
We are done with our Setup🎊
Step - 4 : After your practise, delete Cluster and other resources we have used in AWS Cloud to avoid billing
eksctl delete cluster --name srtechops-cluster4 --region ap-south-1
