I have a CloudFormation stack with VPC Peerings, in that case, it’s a peering between VPC of a new Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster and VPC of the Prometheus monitoring stack. The EKS cluster’s stack and its whole automation creation were described in the AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service: a cluster creation automation, part 1 – CloudFormation… Read More »
In addition to the AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service: a cluster creation automation, part 1 – CloudFormation and AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service: a cluster creation automation, part 2 – Ansible, eksctl posts – now I’d like to pass a Parameter as a List with multiply values to a CloudForamtion stack. The idea is to get all… Read More »
The first part – AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service: a cluster creation automation, part 1 – CloudFormation. To remind the whole idea is to create an automation process to create an EKS cluster: Ansible uses the cloudformation module to create an infrastructure by using an Outputs of the CloudFormation stack created – Ansible from a template will… Read More »
The task is: create automation to roll out an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster from scratch. Will use: Ansible: to automate CloudFormation stack creation and to execute eksctl with necessary parameters CloudFormation with NestedStacks: to create an infrastructure – VPC, subnets, SecurityGroups, IAM-roles, etc eksctl: to create a cluster itself using resources created by CloudFormation… Read More »
Nested Stacks in AWS CloudFormation are stacks, created from another, a “parent”, stack using AWS::CloudFormation::Stack. The main idea behind the Nested Stacks is to avoid writing superfluous code and to make templates reusable. Instead, a template is created only once, stored in an S3 bucket, and during stacks creation – you just refer to it.… Read More »
Let’s proceed with our Kubernetes journey. Previous parts: Kubernetes: part 1 – architecture and main components overview Kubernetes: part 2 – a cluster set up on AWS with AWS cloud-provider and AWS LoadBalancer In this part we will start working with AWS Elastic Kuberneters Service (EKS) – its short overview, then will create Kubernetes Control… Read More »
We have a bunch of the AWS RDS with MariaDB. Backend-developers asked me to enable slow requests logs so they can debug their application. So the task is: enable AWS RDS logging and configure export to the CloudWatch Logs for further analysis. As everything else – our RDS instances are configured via CloudFormation templates, so… Read More »
