Demo of exposing public applications on AWS EKS with Traefik Proxy. This repository is a part of Dev.to article

Prerequisites

• preconfigure EKS Cluster with AWS Load Balancer Controller and External DNS installed - you can leverages my repo that will help you setup EKS cluster with eksctl - GitHub repo
• Route53 domain with ACM Certificate

Installation TL;DR

!!! Before install replace all occurrences of <YOUR_CERTIFICATE_ARN> and <YOUR_DOMAIN> in all repo resources.

Install Traefik

helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik
helm install traefik traefik/traefik --create-namespace --namespace=network --values=helm/traefik.yaml 

Install samples apps (RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL):

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install rabbitmq bitnami/rabbitmq --create-namespace --namespace=messaging -f helm/rabbitmq.yaml
helm install postgres bitnami/postgresql --create-namespace --namespace=database -f helm/postgres.yaml

Apply Traefik route resources:

kubectl apply -f network/traefik-dashboard-route.yaml
kubectl apply -f network/postgres-route.yaml
kubectl apply -f network/rabbitmq-route.yaml

Testing utils

psql -h postgres.<YOUR_DOMAIN> -p 5432 -U root
# pass 'root' password

python3 utils/rabbitmq_ampq_test.py

#In browser:
https://rabbitmq.<YOUR_DOMAIN>
https://traefik.<YOUR_DOMAIN>:9000/dashboard/

Cleanup

helm uninstall rabbitmq -n messaging
helm uninstall postgres -n database
helm uninstall traefik -n network

# Delete cluster create with eksctl-labs-cluster repo
eksctl delete cluster -f cluster.yaml --disable-nodegroup-eviction
