Introduction to Amazon EKS Kubernetes for beginners

This is the start of a new series called Kubernetes in the cloud where we explore kubernetes in a couple of different cloud providers. We'll create free trial accounts, take a look at pre provisioning steps, the cloud command line interface and then see what it takes to get a cluster up and running.

Today's cloud is going to be Amazon AWS
Checkout the source code below and follow along :)

These videos will lay the foundation for follow up series about:
Microservices, Monitoring, Logging, Terraform, On premise clusters and more!

@That DevOps Guy ; Great content. Any chance for GKE videos ? especially utilising cloud sql sidecart pattern, it's giving me a headache.

I just subscribed today and my first thought was: "Why haven't I subscribed earlier?"

When trying to run aws eks update-config I got the error "'NoneType' object is not iterable". I think it's a bug from AWS CLI when you already have a config file on your machine. But you can get a workaround by renaming the config file or deleting it. (rm ~/.kube/config). Hope it helps.

Hi, I have a question, if I'm using EKS CLI, should I create policies, roles, and everything you show before to AWS CLI? Thanks for your videos.

[SureshKumar-owji]

Hi Marcel..good day..I am a new subscriber and going to watch all the videos and learn Devops technology. I learnt Devops from class room training close to one year..but I didnt get any job.I am from BPO background. Working hard to achieve in Devops.. thank you that videos. Please prepare videos for any scripting language for automation. 😍👍

What if it is not on free tier could loft be a solution to prevent him cost?

[georgelza]

Just checking quickly, when you say use ekscli... and create the control plane... my VPC already have 2 subnets in 2 AZ's...
we know for the control plane, you actually really want it deployed across 3 AZ's. so question, as the control plane is a managed service, does it get create inside my VPC, (other words I need to have 3 subnets) or is it done outside my VPC, and all that goes into my VPC is the EC2 instance (which implies I can deploy them across my 2 configured AZ's)
