Creating EKS cluster with eksctl and deploying a two-tier application

Prerequisite:

1.Setup EC2 server in AWS with awscli, kubectl and eksctl.

2.Create eksctlrole in IAM and attach EC2FullAccess, AWSCloudFormation Full Access, IAM Full Access. Attach the created eksctlrole role to your Ec2 server run eksctl command .AmazonS3FullAccess

1. AmazonEC2FullAccess

2. AmazonRoute53FullAccess

3. IAMFullAccess

4. AmazonVPCFullAccess

Steps :

1. Step1: AWS CLI Installation on the EC2 instance

curl "awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_6.." -o "awscliv2.zip"

unzip awscliv2.zip

sudo ./aws/install

/usr/local/bin/aws --version

1. Step2: Kubectl Installation

   curl -O s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/amazon-eks/1.26...

chmod +x ./kubectl

mv kubectl /usr/local/bin

1. Step3: EKS installation

   curl --silent --location "[[github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/lates](github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/lates....](github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/lates.. -s)_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp

   cd /tmp

   mv eksctl /usr/local/bin

   eksctl version

   PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin;export PATH echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

2. Step4: EKS Cluster Setup

   Use eksctl to create the EKS cluster

   eksctl create cluster --name <cluster-name> --region <region> --node-type t2.micro --nodes-min 2 --nodes-max 2

3. Update the kubeconfig to connect to the newly created EKS cluster

   aws eks update-kubeconfig --region <region> --name <cluster-name>

Verify node

kubectl get nodes

You can clone the code with git clone and deploy with using kubectl apply -f command. I have covered this part in details in last blog.

Thank you!
