Automate EKS Clusters with Terraform

in Just 2 Months – Case Study

In today's cloud-driven world, automating infrastructure provisioning is crucial for efficiency and agility. This case study details how Musewerx helped a US-based IT company deploy a secure and scalable Amazon EKS cluster using Terraform's Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach. The project was completed within a tight two-month timeframe.

Project Description:

The client sought to automate the creation and management of their EKS cluster, eliminating manual configuration and ensuring consistent deployments. The project's rapid two-month timeline demanded a streamlined approach.

Solution:

Musewerx implemented Terraform for automated EKS cluster deployment, following these key steps:

Terraform Configuration:

Terraform files (main.tf, variable.tf, and provider.tf) were created to define the EKS cluster infrastructure.

Resource Provisioning:

Terraform scripts provisioned necessary resources like:

CloudWatch log group for cluster logging.
IAM roles with appropriate policies for EKS cluster and worker nodes.
Security groups for EKS API server access control.
EKS cluster with private/public access configuration.
IAM roles and policies for worker nodes.
EKS node group with desired instance types, scaling configuration, and subnet placement.

Code Execution:

Terraform commands (terraform init, terraform plan, terraform apply) were used to initialize the workspace, review the infrastructure plan, and apply the configuration to provision the EKS cluster.

Benefits:

The Terraform-based approach delivered significant advantages:

Automation:

Streamlined and automated EKS cluster deployment, minimizing manual intervention and errors.

Infrastructure as Code:

Repeatable and version-controlled configuration ensures consistent deployments and simplifies infrastructure management.

Scalability:

The IaC approach allows for effortless scaling of the EKS cluster to meet growing needs.

				
					main.tf (Excerpt):
Terraform
resource "aws_eks_cluster" "eks_cluster" {
  name = var.cluster_name
  # ... other configuration options ...
}
Use code with caution.
variable.tf (Excerpt):
Terraform
variable "cluster_name" {
  type = string
  description = "Name of the EKS cluster"
  default = "eks-cluster"
}
Use code with caution.

Conclusion:

This case study demonstrates the power of Terraform for automating EKS cluster deployment. Through IaC, Musewerx delivered a robust and efficient solution, empowering the client to focus on core business applications.
