Setup Bottlerocket Managed Node Group on EKS with Terraform

By default, instances in a managed node group use the latest version of the Amazon EKS optimized Amazon Linux 2 AMI for its cluster. You can choose between standard and GPU variants of the Amazon EKS optimized Amazon Linux 2 AMI. At this point, Bottlerocket is not natively supported as a built-in OS choice for managed node groups though, in the future, it will be. Until then, this repo and terraform scripts should provide a reliable set of steps to build a managed node group with Bottlerocket nodes using launch templates.

Prerequisites

• An AWS account with admin privileges - We will assume you already have an AWS account with admin privileges.
• Command-line tools - Mac/Linux users need to install the latest version of AWS CLI,kubectl, and terraform (>=v0.13.0) on their workstation.Whereas Windows users need to create an EC2 Cloud9 environment in AWS and then install these CLI's inside their Cloud9 environment.

Architecture

Usage Example

• Clone terraform codes in your home directory

git clone  https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-eks-bottlerocket-mngnodegrp-terraform.git

• Change directory to amazon-eks-bottlerocket-mngnodegrp-terraform

cd amazon-eks-bottlerocket-mngnodegrp-terraform

• Then run init, plan and apply commands.

terraform init

terraform plan

terraform apply --auto-approve
