AWS Golang EKS Cluster

View Code

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
