You can also specify a different cluster name:

For development: terraform apply -var="cluster_name=dev"

For staging: terraform apply -var="cluster_name=staging"

For production: terraform apply -var="cluster_name=production"

Configuring Kubernetes

Update Kubeconfig: aws eks --region $(terraform output -raw region) update-kubeconfig --name $(terraform output -raw cluster_name) or aws eks --region us-east-1 update-kubeconfig --name eks-henry-v3-pi

Building Your AWS EKS Cluster To build your AWS EKS cluster, follow these steps:

Install the EKSCTL Plugin (Windows PowerShell Admin): choco install -y eksctl

Create Your Cluster: eksctl create cluster --name=svc-eks-app --node-type=t2.medium --nodes=3 --region=us-east-1 --zones=us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1d --node-ami-family=AmazonLinux2

Managing Pods and Metrics You can build and monitor your pods with the following commands:

Build Pods:

Example YAML for metrics server: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/releases/latest/download/components.yaml Check Metrics Server Deployment: kubectl get deployment metrics-server -n kube-system

Kubernetes Dashboard: Deploy the Kubernetes Dashboard: kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.7.0/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

Deleting Your Cluster To delete the AWS EKS cluster that was built, use the following command: eksctl delete cluster --name svc-eks-app --region us-east-1

This guide will help you set up, manage, and delete your AWS EKS cluster efficiently.
