 πŸš€How to set up Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service)πŸš€


➡️Create an hashtag#AWS Account: If you don't already have one, set up an AWS account.

➡️Install Required Tools:

AWS hashtag#CLI: Install and configure the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine.

hashtag#kubectl: Install kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool, for managing Kubernetes clusters.

hashtag#eksctl: Install eksctl, a command-line tool specifically designed to create and manage EKS clusters.


➡️Configure AWS CLI: Set up your AWS credentials (access key and secret key) using aws configure.

➡️Create an EKS Cluster:

Use eksctl to create an hashtag#EKS cluster with a single command. Example:

eksctl create cluster --name my-cluster --region us-west-2 --nodegroup-name standard-workers --node-type t2.medium --nodes 3 --nodes-min 1 --nodes-max 4 --managed


This creates a managed Kubernetes cluster with 3 nodes.

➡️Configure kubectl: Once the cluster is created, use the following command to configure kubectl to use your new EKS cluster:

aws eks --region region update-kubeconfig --name my-cluster


➡️Verify Cluster: Run the following command to verify that your kubectl is properly configured and can access the cluster:

kubectl get nodes


➡️Deploy Applications: You can now deploy applications using Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts.

➡️Manage the Cluster: Use kubectl to manage deployments, services, and resources, or you can use the AWS Management Console for a GUI.

Optional:

Set up IAM Roles & Policies: Manage access and permissions with AWS IAM roles and policies for both users and service accounts.

Auto-Scaling: Configure the EKS cluster to scale nodes based on demand using Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler or Cluster Autoscal

Top 10 high-level EC2 scenario-based questions to challenge your AWS & DevOps skills

 Here are 10 high-level EC2 scenario-based questions to challenge your AWS & DevOps skills 1. Your EC2 instance is running but you can’t connect via SSH. What troubleshooting steps will you take?  Check Security Group inbound rules (port 22 open to your IP).  Verify Network ACLs (NACLs not blocking inbound/outbound).  Confirm instance’s Public IP / Elastic IP.  Validate Key Pair and correct permissions on .pem.  Ensure SSM Agent is installed (Session Manager can help).  Check system logs on the console for OS-level issues. 2. You terminated an EC2 instance by mistake. How can you prevent this in the future? Enable Termination Protection in EC2 settings. Use IAM permissions to restrict TerminateInstances. Tag critical instances and set resource policies. 3. Your EC2 instance needs to access an S3 bucket securely. What’s the best way to configure this? Best practice: Attach an IAM Role with least privilege policy to the EC2 instance. Avoid hardcoding...

GitOps-Driven Management of VKS Clusters: Enabling GitOps on VCF 9.0 (Part 03)

  GitOps-Driven Management of VKS Clusters: Enabling GitOps on VCF 9.0 (Part 03) In the Part-02 blog, we walked through the process of deploying an Argo CD instance within a vSphere Namespace on  VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 , enabling a GitOps-based approach to manage Kubernetes workloads in a vSphere environment. With Argo CD successfully installed, we now have a powerful toolset to drive declarative infrastructure and application delivery. In this blog post, we’ll take the next step by demonstrating how to  provision and manage VKS clusters  directly through the Argo CD  UI and CLI . This allows us to fully operationalise GitOps within the private cloud, delivering consistency, scalability, and automation across the Kubernetes lifecycle. Importance of Managing the Kubernetes Cluster with a Gitops Approach Adopting a GitOps-based approach for managing Kubernetes clusters enables declarative, version-controlled, and automated operations by leveraging Git a...
