AWS EKS Project 🚀

This repository provides a complete Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution to bootstrap a production-ready Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) cluster on AWS. It includes all essential manifests and scripts to deploy, secure, and expose your Kubernetes workloads using AWS-native integrations.

Features

• EKS Cluster Provisioning: Automated setup using eksctl and YAML configuration.
• Namespace & Workload Management: Example namespace, deployment, and service manifests for rapid onboarding.
• AWS Load Balancer Controller: Full integration with IAM policies and service accounts for ALB/ELB support.
• Ingress with ALB: Secure, internet-facing ingress using AWS Application Load Balancer.
• Modular Structure: Organized directories for cluster, ingress, IAM, and controller resources.
• Best Practices: Follows AWS and Kubernetes security and tagging standards.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/ManishLakhara197/aws-eks-project.git
   cd aws-eks-project

2. Provision EKS Cluster

   eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml

3. Configure IAM & OIDC for Load Balancer Controller

   • Create IAM policy and associate OIDC provider (see ServiceLinkedRole-LoadBalancer-Controller/commands.txt).

4. Deploy Sample Workloads

   kubectl apply -f namespace.yaml
   kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
   kubectl apply -f service.yaml
   kubectl apply -f ingress/pod-info-ingress.yaml

5. Install AWS Load Balancer Controller

   • Follow steps in sa_ingress_class_alb_controller/commands.txt and apply relevant manifests.

Why Use This Project?

• Fast EKS Onboarding: Get a working cluster with best practices in minutes.
• Production-Ready Patterns: Includes real-world ALB ingress, IAM, and namespace separation.
• Extensible: Easily add more workloads, policies, or controllers.
