Study Notes
Amazon EKS Cluster Management
- Amazon EKS uses managed node groups that run Amazon EC2 instances with the latest EKS-optimized or custom Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) in your AWS account.
- Node groups are updated and terminated gracefully, ensuring application availability.
EKS CLI Management
- The eksctl command-line tool allows you to create an Amazon EKS cluster and manage nodes and add-ons with a single command,
eksctl create cluster.
EKS Data Plane
- The EKS data plane consists of managed worker nodes that run containerized applications in a Kubernetes cluster on AWS.
- AWS manages worker node provisioning, scaling, and maintenance, reducing operational overhead.
- Customers have full control over node configuration, including instance types, autoscaling policies, and other settings.
- The EKS data plane integrates with other AWS services, such as Amazon VPC, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS IAM.
Deploying an Application on Amazon EKS
- To deploy an application on an active Amazon EKS cluster, navigate to the EKS service in the AWS Management Console.
- Select the EKS cluster, create a namespace, and configure the cluster settings.
- Create a node group, specifying the node group name, node IAM role, instance type, and other settings.
Creating an EKS Cluster
- To create an EKS cluster, navigate to the EKS service in the AWS Management Console.
- Configure cluster settings, such as the cluster name, region, and node group details.
- Review and create the cluster, then verify its status on the "Clusters" page.
Deploying Nodes on Amazon EKS
- To deploy nodes on an Amazon EKS cluster, select the EKS cluster, and add a node group.
- Configure the node group, specifying the node group name, node IAM role, instance type, and other settings.
- Review and create the node group, then verify the nodes on the "Compute" tab.
