EKS install using CRPM

Deploy an EKS cluster and an IDE that can be used to run kubectl commands.

Deploy Stacks

npm uninstall -g cdk
npm i -g typescript
npm i -g aws-cdk@1.57.0 crpm@2.0.0
npm i

# Clone the infrastructure code
git clone https://github.com/mscribe/crpm-eks

# Change directory
cd crpm-eks

# Deploy the EKS management role CloudFormation stack
# This role is used to create the EKS cluster, and it is attached to the IDE to access the cluster
cdk deploy RoleStack

# Get the ARN of the management role deployed above
export MANAGEMENT_ROLE_ARN=`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name eks-role --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[0].OutputValue" --output text`

# Deploy the EKS cluster in a new VPC using the management role deployed above
cdk deploy EksStack -r $MANAGEMENT_ROLE_ARN

# Get the names of the management role and cluster created above
export MANAGEMENT_ROLE_NAME=`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name eks-role --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[1].OutputValue" --output text`
export CLUSTER_NAME=`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name eks-cluster --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[0].OutputValue" --output text`

# Deploy the Cloud9 IDE with kubectl ready to use
cdk deploy Cloud9Stack \
  --parameters ManagementRoleName=$MANAGEMENT_ROLE_NAME \
  --parameters ClusterName=$CLUSTER_NAME

Cloud9 Usage

In the AWS Console, open the Cloud9 environment created above (eks-ide).
Once the Cloud9 environment is running in your browser, disable AWS managed temporary credentials.

a. Open Cloud9 Preferences.

b. Expand AWS SETTINGS.

c. Disable AWS managed temporary credentials.
Open a terminal in Cloud9 and configure AWS region.

a. Run AWS configure command.
```
aws configure
```
b. Leave all options set to None and hit enter, except for default region name (ex. if your region is us-east-1, then enter that).
Test kubectl.

k get svc

Configure EKS to only run pods in Fargate.

# Get the arn of the Fargate pod execution role created above
export FARGATE_POD_EXECUTION_POD_ROLE_ARN=`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name eks-cluster --query "Stacks[0].Outputs[1].OutputValue" --output text`

# Create Fargate profile to target CoreDNS pods
aws eks create-fargate-profile \
    --fargate-profile-name profile-eks-fargate-cluster \
    --cluster-name eks-fargate-cluster \
    --pod-execution-role-arn $FARGATE_POD_EXECUTION_POD_ROLE_ARN \
    --selectors namespace=kube-system,labels={k8s-app=kube-dns}

# Remove eks.amazonaws.com/compute-type : ec2 annotation from CoreDNS pods
k patch deployment coredns \
        -n kube-system \
        --type json \
        -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/template/metadata/annotations/eks.amazonaws.com~1compute-type"}]'
