    View Code Deploy this example with Pulumi

    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
