AWS EKS Tutorial | What is EKS? | EKS Explained | KodeKloud

AWS EKS is a great option for Kubernetes clusters and containers. In this tutorial, we will explain the architecture, components of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), a step-by-step procedure to provision Kubernetes Cluster on EKS. Additionally, we will also cover the important command line called EKSCTL and its performance benefits.

These are the topics covered in this video:
00:00 - Introduction
00:49 -What is EKS?
01:41 - Why EKS?
02:35 - Worker Nodes
06:25 - Demo
21:23 - Conclusion

We have various Learning Paths to help you choose your next step and shape your DevOps Career.

Those new to the Programming and DevOps world often find it challenging to start their journey due to the missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, problems with networking, or trouble with working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes there are issues with applications - like getting a sample application to work, problems with getting the dependencies to install correctly or trouble with getting a web server to communicate with a database server. Or, at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.

So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is due to missing some of the basic prerequisites, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, or knowing the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python or NodeJS or web servers like Apache, NGINX etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer, it is crucial to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we are helping you to bridge that gap!

This is by far the simplest and easiest explanation of EKS and its deployment. Thanks

[yogeshgunasekaran]

Great video. Looking forward eagerly for advanced video sessions on EKS with Istio, Calico, GitOps and Multi-tenancy !

[Roman-zsqm]

What's cool about eksctl is that you can use it in a declarative way adhering to GitOps principles by using the --dry-run option and outputing the result in a file such as cluster.yaml. You can then edit, tweak it further and commit it to git.

@kodekloud please make a course for EKS using Terraform. Would be great if you could cover aspects like security as well.

[andrewpoloni]

Really great presentation!! 👍 One question: what's the prompt string you're using for your terminal to display all the context versions (and the cool icons)?

Explained very well. Thanks! I created the cluster with 2 nodes. Now I would like to connect with one of the nodes(EC2 instance). Not sure where the key is saved. That's why can't ssh to the node. Usually when I create any EC2, I create the key pair during configuration. But here, since it's created automatically, not sure the location of the key. Any suggestion?

So finally get to see the awesome person behind some of the CKAD videos !

[nazokatisamova]

Commenting to spread the word about such a great tutorial. Thanks

[leamon]

Thanks. Looking forward to a more advanced content on AWS EKS.

[kaushikmitra]

Awesome Explanation for EKS cluster setup ....👏👏👏

[awaisaltaf]

Great Video. Quick question what permission did you give to the IAM user as I am getting the permission errors.

[rehantayyab]

Did u show installing eksctl on your windows machine ?





Second question is did you create nodegroup in public subnet or private subnet


Plz reply

[Black_void]

Nice video man, very well explained! Thanks!! 😃

[許哲綱-qd]

is it good to use k8s?
ec2 not good enough?

[MTLEW]

Hi Sir. Thanks for your nice video about AWS eks. In the video, you mentioned that we can use eksctl to create aws eks, and it will help us to create public & private subnet as well. Just want to know will it create VPC interface endpoints/gateway endpoints also?

[mhouney]

How could I add a docker container to a worker node? I have several Microservices in containers.

[cthgbs]

I am confused about the "IAM role for cluster" which is mentioned at 6:50. After creating the cluster with eksctl, I did not see you create the "IAM role for cluster". Do we need to create the IAM role at all ?

[namansharma]

Is the full eks course available somewhere?

[BernardWepiah]

You make create videos, but your website messes up when signing up from the US.

[lovemasta]

Can someone tell me that does it create master node or just worker nodes ?
