EKS Blueprints for Terraform Explained

EKS Blueprints is an open-source framework used to configure and deploy "batteries included" EKS cluster environments, allowing teams to tackle day 2 operations. In this episode, Sai focuses on EKS Blueprints for Terraform to handle cluster configuration, add-ons and soft multi-tenancy.
Get started today with EKS Blueprints, supported on EKS, EKS-A and EKS on Outposts!

Nicely explained, thanks

[@alexiojunior7867]

wow this is a great resource ,well explained and very easy to understand

[@tejsinghranaofficial]

Awesome stuff. 👌

[@CloudNativeJanitor]

Love this, Awesome, yes we would love to see more, I was actually thinking about what would be the best way to complement EKS-Anywhere to be ready for Day2 operations. I was more in a different direction using flux/Argocd, I wanted to check in my free time on the new Flamingo Flux plugin for ArgoCD and how to package applications as part of it. I would say please keep going, include GitOps, Data management (Backup/restore), governance,..etc. and thank you for doing it the simple way

Great! Thanks

I really like the idea of blueprints, but the docs just aren't there. A tool like eksctl gives me everything I need to stand up a cluster in various scenarios. With blueprint I've had the following issues: - import statements not show in examples (ie incomplete examples) - dead links in docs - not enough beginner examples, jumps right to hard stuff. For example, how to deploy a blueprint into an existing vpc? eksctl covers it, blueprint docs don't afaik

[@samys288]

Excellent video, I would like ask you something; the addons are activated from terraform only with true/false flags or are there anothers settings?

[@JackReacher1]

And what about app-mesh as addon?

[@georgelza]

... is postings being deleted ?

[@ITech2005]

Terraform and CDK? No Cloudformation??? Im seriously laughing my @ off.

[@maxritter9955]

Who the hell is still using bare Cloudformation..

[@iliyastrakovich]

I feel sorry for you :(

[@ITech2005]

@@iliyastrakovich No i feel sorry for you. To answer my own question it's because we've already had this in CF. :) We've been using CF to deploy custom EKS "templates" for well over a year already. Look up the "eks quickstart" along with its custom resource types. It even offers much much more flexibility. My template also deploys and configures Istio, Prometheus, Grafana & CockroachDB with a single click. This is only a big breakthrough for Terraform users lmfao.

@@ITech2005 Just chill out, dude. The world is a lot more fun without CloudFormarion.

[@ITech2005]

@@iliyastrakovich I've been chilling since the original post. I just thought it was interesting that AWS would leave its own IAC product off the list. You have to admit that's pretty ironic and worth a chuckle!
