EKS Blueprints is a collection of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules that will help you configure and deploy consistent, batteries-included EKS clusters across accounts and regions. It is available in both Terraform and CDK.

• EKS Blueprints for Terraform
• EKS Blueprints for CDK

There are 3 core concepts in EKS Blueprints which perfectly matches the design of a Shared Services Platform (SSP) for Kubernetes.

In a typical SSP environment, the platform team is responsbile for managing the platform foundation which inclueds the Kubernetes cluster and all sorts of operational tools (normally referred as add-ons). As platform service consumers, the application teams only need to focus on their own applications without worrying about the availabitliy, security and capacity of underlying infrastructure.

This repository is to demostrate how to quickly bootstrap a new EKS cluster by using EKS Blueprints.

• For Terraform lovers, please cd terraform.

  Note: If you used EKS Blueprints for Terraform before. There are some notables changes since V5, you might be interested to check it out.

  • Create cluster

    terraform init
    terraform plan
    terraform apply
    

  • Delete cluster

    terraform destroy
    

• For CDK lovers, please cd cdk.

  • Create cluster

    npm install
    npx cdk synth
    npx cdk deploy
    

  • Delete cluster
