AWS EKS Terraform for Dev Environment

This Terraform project sets up a development-ready AWS EKS cluster. It's designed to be a cost-effective and best-practice foundation for your containerized applications.

Features

• VPC: Creates a new VPC with public and private subnets across two availability zones.
• EKS Cluster: A robust EKS cluster with the necessary IAM roles.
• Node Group: A managed node group using t3.micro instances, suitable for development and testing.
• IAM Roles: Proper IAM roles for the EKS cluster and worker nodes.
• Outputs: Key information like the cluster endpoint and kubeconfig command are provided as outputs.

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed
• AWS CLI installed and configured with your credentials
• kubectl installed

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   cd <repo-name>

2. Initialize Terraform:

   terraform init

3. Review the plan:

   terraform plan

4. Apply the configuration:

   terraform apply

5. Configure kubectl: After the apply is complete, Terraform will output a command to configure kubectl. Run that command to connect to your new EKS cluster.

   aws eks update-kubeconfig --region $(terraform output -raw region) --name $(terraform output -raw cluster_name)

6. Destroy the infrastructure: When you no longer need the resources, you can destroy them to avoid ongoing charges.

   terraform destroy
