Overview: EKS Pod Identity: Easily Attach IAM Roles to K8s pods 🎡

Objective 🏅 : Utilize EKS Pod Identity to easily attach IAM roles to Kubernetes pods.

Highlights 🏆 : EKS Pod Identity allows to assign IAM roles to pods without annotating the deployment pod spec.

Technologies 🛠️ :

• Python
• boto3
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• EKS
• IAM Services (roles, policies, pod-identity-attachment)
• Terraform

Steps 📝 :

1. Create a Python application that uploads a file to an S3 bucket.
2. Dockerize the application.
3. Create a Kubernetes deployment for the Python application.
4. Define all infrastructure as code (IaC) Terraform such as VPC, EKS, S3, IAM, Node Group, etc.
5. Install Pod Identity add-on on the EKS cluster.
6. Define all the required IAM services (role, policy, pod-identity-attachment) for the Kubernetes deployment.

Structure 🏗️ :

• infrastructure/: Terraform code for creating the EKS cluster, S3 bucket, IAM services, etc.
• kubernetes/: Kubernetes deployment for the Python application & service account.
• python-app/: Python application that uploads a file to an S3 bucket.
