AWS EKS Deployment Guide

This repository contains resources and instructions for deploying a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and deploying applications to it.

Project Structure

• deployment.yaml - Sample 2048 game deployment configuration
• ingress.yaml - Ingress controller configuration for the 2048 game
• namespace.yaml - Kubernetes namespace definition for the game
• steps/ - Documentation for each setup step
• photos/ - Screenshots of the deployment process

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have installed the necessary tools as described in prerequisites.md:

• kubectl
• eksctl
• AWS CLI (configured with appropriate credentials)

Installation Steps

Follow these steps in order:

1. Installing EKS Cluster
2. Configure OIDC Connector
3. Install AWS Load Balancer Controller
4. Deploy Sample Application
5. Deploy 2048 Game with Ingress

Deployment Files

This repository includes the following Kubernetes manifests:

• namespace.yaml - Creates a namespace called game-2048
• deployment.yaml - Deploys the 2048 game application with 5 replicas and creates a NodePort service
• ingress.yaml - Configures an ALB ingress to expose the 2048 game to the internet

Deploying the 2048 Game

After setting up EKS and the AWS Load Balancer Controller, you can deploy the 2048 game using:

# Create the namespace
kubectl apply -f namespace.yaml

# Create the deployment and service
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

# Create the ingress
kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml

Alternatively, you can use the command provided in 2048-app-deploy-ingress.md:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller/v2.5.4/docs/examples/2048/2048_full.yaml

Cleaning Up

To avoid incurring charges for resources you don't need, delete your EKS cluster when you're done:

eksctl delete cluster --name demo-cluster --region us-east-1
