aws-cdk-eks-flux: A Python repository from ibuchh

CI/CD on EKS using AWS Codecommit, AWS Codepipeline, AWS Codebuild and FluxCD written in python using CDK!

The purpose of this repository is to demo how can we work with the GitOps philosophy using FluxCD on EKS. This implementation has been developed using CDK.

Requirements

CDK installed: Getting started with the AWS CDK
AWS Account
IAM user with Git Credentials for Codecommit: IAM Git Credentials

Architecture

Steps to reproduce

Export your Git credentials:

export GIT_AUTH_USER=git_username
export GIT_AUTH_KEY=git_credentials

Specify the stack name, and region on the cdk.json, for example:

{
  "app": "python3 app.py",
  "context": {
    "@aws-cdk/core:enableStackNameDuplicates": "true",
    "aws-cdk:enableDiffNoFail": "true",
    "@aws-cdk/core:stackRelativeExports": "true",
    "@aws-cdk/aws-ecr-assets:dockerIgnoreSupport": true,
    "name": "awsome-flux-example",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}

Deploy the infrastructure using the CDK cli:

cdk bootstrap aws://account_id/us-east-1
cdk deploy

The infrastructure creation takes around 15/20 min due the EKS cluster creation. During the meantime, you can clone the two new repos that have been already created and push the example code. First one for the kubernetes infrastructure and later, for your application. Don't forget to change the account ID of the Amazon Registry on the infrastructure in the line 21.

Like this:

git clone https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/kubernetes-infra-awsome-flux-example
cp repos/infra_example/* kubernetes-infra-awsome-flux-example/
git add .
git commit -am "First commit"
git push 

git clone https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/awsome-flux-example
cp repos/app_example/* awsome-flux-example/
git add .
git commit -am "First commit"
git push

After push your code the pipeline is triggered:

Once the stack is completed, you will get the following outputs:

Check your cluster

Connect to the EKS cluster using the previous output and check your application. You can also follow Update Kubeconfig

# kubectl get pod

Clean up

After completing your demo, delete your stack using the CDK cli:

cdk destroy
