This is the third part of deploying an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster with Terraform, in which we will add Karpenter to our cluster. I’ve decided to post this separately because it’s quite a long post. And in the next and final (hopefully!), the fourth part, we will add the rest – all kinds of… Read More »
We continue the topic of deploying an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster using Terraform. In the first part, we prepared an AWS VPC. In this part, we’ll deploy the EKS cluster itself, and will configure AIM for it, and in the next parts, we’ll install Karpenter and the rest of the controllers. All the… Read More »
So, now that we’ve been reminded a bit about Terraform’s data types and loops, it’s time to start building something real. The first thing we will deploy with Terraform is the AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster and all the resources associated with it because now it is done with AWS CDK, and in addition… Read More »
In the previous post, we got an overview of the Terraform data types – Terraform: introduction to data types – primitives and complex. Now let’s see how these types can be used in loops. Terraform supports three types of cycles: count: the simplest, used with a given number or with a function length(); uses indexes from… Read More »
In this post, we will take a brief look at the data types that we can use in Terraform to better understand the topic of the following post – Terraform: count, for_each, and for loops. Documentation – Type Constraints and Types and Values. We have the following types divided into groups: Primitive Types: string: sequence of Unicode… Read More »
Following the series of posts about preparing to use Terraform on a project. So, in the first part, we thought about how to organize the preparation of the backend for the project, that is, to perform its bootstrap, and a bit – how to manage the Dev/Prod environments in general, see Terraform: Getting started… Read More »
We are preparing to transfer infrastructure management from AWS CDK to Terraform. I’ve already wrote about planning it in the Terraform: planning a new project with Dev/Prod environments post, but there I didn’t wrote about one very important option – creating a lock for state files. State file locking is used to avoid situations… Read More »
So, Terraform is great, but so far in our project, we have decided to create the first AWS EKS clusters using the AWS CDK, because firstly, it is already on the project, and secondly, it is very interesting to try a new tool. Today we will see what came out of it, and how… Read More »
I need to plan the use of Terraform in a new project, and this includes planning the file structure for the project, how to create a backend (i.e. bootstrap) and other resources needed to get started, and think about working with multiple environments and AWS accounts. In general, this post was originally written purely… Read More »
The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) allows you to describe an infrastructure using the programming languages TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, or Go. Under the hood, CDK creates a CloudFormation stack with the resources described in your code. The answer to the question “Our CDK, when is Terraform?” can be found here – 4 ultimate… Read More »
