Homework

Create the EKS cluster via terraform.

• Clone the repo.
• Hop into the repo root.
• cd /terraform/eks
• terraform init
• terraform plan -var-file=./eks-mytime/eks-mytime.tfvars -state=./eks-mytime/terraform.tfstate -out=./eks-mytime/tf.plan
• terraform apply -state-out=./eks-mytime/terraform.tfstate ./eks-mytime/tf.plan
• Once terraform completes you will have a functioning EKS backplane but no joined workers or access to the cluster.

Configure client/cluster

Install dependencies.

• Kubectl setup docs - Install kubectl
• Install IAM authenticator for EKS - Basically download the binary and put it somwhere in $PATH

AWS CLI

• aws eks update-kubeconfig --name eks-mytime

EKS worker config - Allows workers to join cluster.

• kubectl apply -f ./kubernetes/aws_auth.yml

Helm

Installation

• Helm install docs (Install tiller in cluster)

Sentry Chart

• helm install --name mytime -f ./kubernetes/sentry/values.yml stable/sentry
• Sentry will now be running in the cluster and you can proxy the endpoint to your local machine.

Notes

• This is not a production ready example. I skipped quite a few things in the interest of keeping the time investment reasonable.
• The terraform is raw, I would wrap it up in a module given more time.
• There is no ingress controller installed within the cluster. This would set up an ELB/ngnix to give external https access the Sentry endpoint.
• External-dns is not installed so you can't handle DNS for the ingress.
