A terraform module to create a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS. Available through the Terraform registry. Inspired by and adapted from this doc and its source code. Read the AWS docs on EKS to get connected to the k8s dashboard.
- You want to create an EKS cluster and an autoscaling group of workers for the cluster.
- You want these resources to exist within security groups that allow communication and coordination. These can be user provided or created within the module.
- You've created a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and subnets where you intend to put the EKS resources. The VPC satisfies EKS requirements.
A full example leveraging other community modules is contained in the examples/basic directory.
data "aws_eks_cluster" "cluster" {
name = module.my-cluster.cluster_id
}
data "aws_eks_cluster_auth" "cluster" {
name = module.my-cluster.cluster_id
}
provider "kubernetes" {
host = data.aws_eks_cluster.cluster.endpoint
cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.aws_eks_cluster.cluster.certificate_authority.0.data)
token = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.cluster.token
load_config_file = false
version = "~> 1.9"
}
module "my-cluster" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
cluster_name = "my-cluster"
cluster_version = "1.14"
subnets = ["subnet-abcde012", "subnet-bcde012a", "subnet-fghi345a"]
vpc_id = "vpc-1234556abcdef"
worker_groups = [
{
instance_type = "m4.large"
asg_max_size = 5
}
]
}
Sometimes you need to have a way to create EKS resources conditionally but Terraform does not allow to use count
inside module
block, so the solution is to specify argument create_eks
.
Using this feature and having manage_aws_auth=true
(the default) requires to set up the kubernetes provider in a way that allows the data sources to not exist.
data "aws_eks_cluster" "cluster" {
count = var.create_eks ? 1 : 0
name = module.eks.cluster_id
}
data "aws_eks_cluster_auth" "cluster" {
count = var.create_eks ? 1 : 0
name = module.eks.cluster_id
}
# In case of not creating the cluster, this will be an incompletely configured, unused provider, which poses no problem.
provider "kubernetes" {
host = element(concat(data.aws_eks_cluster.cluster[*].endpoint, list("")), 0)
cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(element(concat(data.aws_eks_cluster.cluster[*].certificate_authority.0.data, list("")), 0))
token = element(concat(data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.cluster[*].token, list("")), 0)
load_config_file = false
version = "1.10"
}
# This cluster will not be created
module "eks" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
create_eks = false
# ... omitted
