A project that combines Terraform & Kubernetes

  • Install Terraform 1.1.15 on your machine and setup an EKS cluster on AWS with Terraform

How do I get started?

  • Fork this repo and clone it to your local machine. Then get started. Any questions, tag our @DevOps-Experts on Discord.

Pre-req tasks:

  • Create an EKS cluster on your AWS account - use a t3.micro or medium machine. Figure out the rest of the configuration. You may search "how to deploy a simple EKS cluster with Terraform" and do what you have to do.
  • Connect to your cluster locally and use kubectl get nodes and kubectl get pods -A to see that cluster is working after its deployed.
  • You also need your kubeconfig saved and also know where its stored.

Step 1 (provider config)

  • Configure terraform and provider settings within provider.tf file with following specifications:

  • Configure terraform to use hashicorp/kubernetes provider.

    Specify the provider's local name: kubernetes

  • Provider version: 2.11.0

  • Configure kubernetes provider with path to your kubeconfig file: /root/.kube/config

Step 2 (create a frontend deployment with TF):

  • Create a terraform resource ft-deploy for kubernetes deployment with following specs:Deployment Name: ft-deploy

  • Deployment Labels = name: ft-deploy

  • Replicas: 5

  • Pod Labels = name: web1

  • Image: nginx

  • Container name: webapp-1

  • Container port: 8080

Step 3 (create a webapp service resource on your cluster using Terraform):

  • Create a terraform resource web-service for kubernetes service with following specs:Service name: web-service

  • Service Type: NodePort

  • Port: 8080NodePort: 30080

Step 4 (check all resources are running)

Optional (Advaned):

  • Setup a CI/CD workflow with GitHub Actions that runs your Terraform plan & apply.

Advanced 2.0:

  • If you want to go further and get the A+++, setup ArgoCD to run your K8s resources (you will need manifest files)

I have finished this project, what is next?

  • Submit your repo to one of the admins or @DevOps-Experts in our Discord and we will review it for you. Add this to your CV once completed
  • We will release a part 2 of this project series soon inshaAllah!

Notes:

  • Save this on your GitHub
  • Make sure to setup billing alerts on your AWS account (we are not responsible for any charges) - so shutdown any instances or clusters
  • Delete all AWS resources after use!
  • All details required are given to you.
  • You have Google, so please use it!
