AWS EKS Tutorial | What is EKS? | EKS Explained | KodeKloud

AWS EKS is a great option for Kubernetes clusters and containers. In this tutorial, we will explain the architecture, components of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), a step-by-step procedure to provision Kubernetes Cluster on EKS. Additionally, we will also cover the important command line called EKSCTL and its performance benefits.
These are the topics covered in this video:
00:00 - Introduction
00:49 -What is EKS?
01:41 - Why EKS?
02:35 - Worker Nodes
06:25 - Demo
21:23 - Conclusion

Those new to the Programming and DevOps world often find it challenging to start their journey due to the missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, problems with networking, or trouble with working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes there are issues with applications - like getting a sample application to work, problems with getting the dependencies to install correctly or trouble with getting a web server to communicate with a database server. Or, at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.
So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is due to missing some of the basic prerequisites, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, or knowing the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python or NodeJS or web servers like Apache, NGINX etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer, it is crucial to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we are helping you to bridge that gap!

@kodekloud please make a course for EKS using Terraform. Would be great if you could cover aspects like security as well.

[@fj4316]

Explained very well. Thanks! I created the cluster with 2 nodes. Now I would like to connect with one of the nodes(EC2 instance). Not sure where the key is saved. That's why can't ssh to the node. Usually when I create any EC2, I create the key pair during configuration. But here, since it's created automatically, not sure the location of the key. Any suggestion?

[@andrewpoloni4197]

Really great presentation!! 👍 One question: what's the prompt string you're using for your terminal to display all the context versions (and the cool icons)?

Great Video. Quick question what permission did you give to the IAM user as I am getting the permission errors.

[@KodeKloud]

"If you're facing permission errors with eksctl in AWS EKS, ensure your IAM user has the necessary permissions. Quickly fix this by: - Attaching Directly: Give your IAM user the AdministratorAccess policy for full access. This method is not recommended for everyday use due to broad permissions. - Using Specific Policies: Preferably, attach these specific policies to your IAM user for tighter security: AmazonEKSClusterPolicy AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly - Reviewing Error Messages: Check the permission errors you're getting and adjust the IAM policies accordingly, adding any specific permissions indicated by the error messages. After updating permissions, retry your eksctl command."

[@2MTLEW]

Hi Sir. Thanks for your nice video about AWS eks. In the video, you mentioned that we can use eksctl to create aws eks, and it will help us to create public & private subnet as well. Just want to know will it create VPC interface endpoints/gateway endpoints also?

[@KodeKloud]

Hey, Interface endpoints (such as VPC Interface Endpoints for services like S3 or DynamoDB) and gateway endpoints (such as VPC Gateway Endpoints for services like SNS or SQS) are typically configured separately from EKS cluster creation. You would need to create these VPC endpoints manually or through your infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scripts, such as CloudFormation templates or Terraform configurations.

[@2MTLEW]

@@KodeKloud thanks

[@namansharma4965]

Is the full eks course available somewhere?

[@KodeKloud]

We will make advanced videos on EKS soon.

[@cthgbs6267]

I am confused about the "IAM role for cluster" which is mentioned at 6:50. After creating the cluster with eksctl, I did not see you create the "IAM role for cluster". Do we need to create the IAM role at all ?

[@KodeKloud]

Hey, when using eksctl, it automates the creation of necessary IAM roles and permissions for both the EKS cluster's control plane and the worker nodes.

[@mhouney]

How could I add a docker container to a worker node? I have several Microservices in containers.

[@KodeKloud]

"To add your microservices in Docker containers to an EKS worker node, you need to: - Containerize your microservices and push the Docker images to a registry like Amazon ECR. - Create Kubernetes manifests (YAML files) for your applications, defining Deployments and Services. - Use kubectl to apply these manifests to your EKS cluster, which schedules the containers on your worker nodes. "

[@lovemasta66]

Can someone tell me that does it create master node or just worker nodes ?

[@vivekkadam748]

it created both

[@rehantayyab82]

Did u show installing eksctl on your windows machine ? Second question is did you create nodegroup in public subnet or private subnet Plz reply

[@KodeKloud]

1. Yes 2. By default, the worker nodes in the nodegroup are deployed in the private subnets for security reasons. These EC2 instances (Kubernetes nodes) have no direct access to the internet. They can access the internet via a NAT gateway in the public subnet, but cannot be reached directly from the outside.

[@Vignesh-tv7ox]

pls post the link in description
