Deploy an EKS Cluster

The repository EKS folder contains a Terraform plan that deploys a Kubernetes cluster in Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This cluster meets the minimum requirements to support a CN-Series firewall and can span multiple availability zones for maximum redundancy and scalability.

Configure the AWS CLI with your credentials.
$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]:     AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Default region name [None]:   us-west-2
Default output format [None]: ENTER
Create a
terraform.tfvars
file and add the following variables and their associated values.
location = ""                  # The AWS region

ssh_key = ""                  # The contents of your SSH public key
Initialize the Terraform providers.
terraform init
Validate the Terraform plan.
terraform plan
Apply the Terraform plan.
$ terraform apply
Update the kubeconfig file with the new cluster's information.
$ aws eks update-kubeconfig --name $(terraform output eks_cluster_name)
Verify the cluster nodes have been built and their status is Ready.
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                                           STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
ip-192-168-42-180.us-west-2.compute.internal   Ready    <none>   42m   v1.14.9
ip-192-168-67-38.us-west-2.compute.internal    Ready    <none>   42m   v1.14.9
You can now Deploy a Sample Application or Deploy a CN-Series Firewall Using Terraform.
