Terraform Aws Eks

This is a Terraform infrastructure as code module designed for provisioning and managing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service clusters and worker nodes. It functions as a Kubernetes cluster provisioner that handles the deployment of managed container orchestration environments, including the control plane and associated node groups.

The project provides a cloud node security manager to apply network rules and security groups to both managed and self-managed node clusters. It further automates the setup of these environments through custom bootstrap scripts and configuration files injected during the node launch process.

The module covers broader capabilities in AWS infrastructure automation and regional resource deployment, allowing for the creation of cloud resources across different geographic regions. It also manages Kubernetes network security by implementing dedicated security group rules to isolate and protect cluster traffic.

Features

  • Managed Kubernetes Provisioning - Automates the setup of managed Kubernetes clusters on AWS, including the control plane and worker node groups.
  • Terraform Provisioning - Uses declarative Terraform configuration to provision and manage Amazon EKS clusters and worker nodes.
  • AWS Provisioners - Provides automated deployment and management of comprehensive AWS infrastructure using Terraform.
  • Kubernetes Cluster Provisioners - Automates the creation and configuration of managed Kubernetes clusters and their associated cloud infrastructure.
  • Kubernetes Cluster Provisioning - Handles the automated deployment and lifecycle management of production-grade Amazon EKS clusters.
  • Reusable Infrastructure Modules - Provides a reusable set of Terraform configurations to standardize the deployment of AWS cloud resources.
  • Composite Resource Interfaces - Aggregates multiple AWS resource declarations into a single reusable module to standardize Kubernetes cluster deployments.
  • Cluster Network Security Managers - Provides a mechanism to apply specific network rules and security groups to managed and self-managed node clusters.
  • Cluster Node Management - Simplifies the configuration and management of Kubernetes node groups through high-level input parameters.
  • Regional Resource Selection - Allows for the selection and deployment of cloud resources across multiple specific AWS geographic regions.
  • Infrastructure Layer Deployments - Implements a tiered provisioning approach that separates the cluster control plane from worker node group deployment.
  • Kubernetes Node Provisioning - Configures and deploys secure host nodes that integrate with the kubelet to join the EKS cluster.
  • Node Configuration Files - Injects custom configuration files and bootstrap scripts into cluster nodes during the provisioning process.
  • Kubernetes Security - Implements network isolation and protection for cluster traffic through dedicated security group rules.
  • Cloud Security Group Rules - Defines inbound and outbound traffic permissions for EKS node groups using dedicated cloud security group rules.
  • EC2 User Data Scripts - Injects custom shell scripts into EC2 launch templates to automate node registration with the Kubernetes API.
  • Infrastructure Modules - Deploys and manages AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service clusters.

    Cluster API is a declarative framework and multi-cluster management system for automating the creation, scaling, and destruction of Kubernetes clusters across diverse infrastructures. It acts as a cluster provisioning orchestrator and infrastructure provisioner, using a centralized management cluster to operate the full lifecycle of multiple remote workload clusters. The project employs a provider-based plugin architecture that decouples core orchestration logic from specific cloud or bare-metal implementations. This allows the system to standardize the deployment of control planes, the boots
