AWS Golang EKS Cluster

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

$ git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
$ git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-go-eks
$ cd pulumi-examples/aws-go-eks

This example creates an AWS EKS Cluster and deploys a sample container application to it

Deploying the App#

To deploy your infrastructure, follow the below steps.

Prerequisites#

1. Install Pulumi
2. Install Go
3. Configure AWS Credentials
4. Install aws-iam-authenticator
5. Install kubectl

Steps#

After cloning this repo, run these commands from the working directory:

1. Create a new stack, which is an isolated deployment target for this example:

   pulumi stack init dev

2. Set your desired AWS region:

   pulumi config set aws:region us-east-1 # any valid AWS region will work

3. Execute the Pulumi program to create our EKS Cluster:

   pulumi up

4. After 10-15 minutes, your cluster will be ready, and the kubeconfig JSON you’ll use to connect to the cluster will be available as an output. You can save this kubeconfig to a file like so:

   pulumi stack output kubeconfig --show-secrets >kubeconfig.json

   Once you have this file in hand, you can interact with your new cluster as usual via kubectl:

   KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig.json kubectl get nodes

5. Ensure that the application is running as expected:

   curl $(pulumi stack output url)

6. Afterwards, destroy your stack and remove it:

pulumi destroy --yes
pulumi stack rm --yes
