Create an EKS cluster and deploy 2048 game into that cluster

Task 1: Create an EKS cluster

Name: -eks-cluster-1
Use K8S version 1.25

Create an IAM role 'eks-cluster-role' with 1 policy attached: AmazonEKSClusterPolicy
Create another IAM role 'eks-node-grp-role' with 3 policies attached:
(Allows EC2 instances to call AWS services on your behalf.)
- AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
- AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly
- AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy

Choose default VPC, Choose 2 or 3 subnets
Choose a security group which open the ports 22, 80, 8080
cluster endpoint access: public

For VPC CNI, CoreDNS and kube-proxy, choose the default versions, For CNI, latest and default are

different. But go with default.

Click 'Create'. This process will take 10-12 minutes. Wait till your cluster shows up as Active.

Task 2: Add Node Groups to our cluster

Now, lets add the worker nodes where the pods can run

Open the cluster > Compute > Add NodeGrp
Name: -eks-nodegrp-1
Select the role you already created
Leave default values for everything else

AMI - choose the default 1 (Amazon Linux 2)
change desired/minimum/maximum to 1 (from 2)
Enable SSH access. Choose a security group which allwos 22, 80, 8080

Choose default values for other fields

Node group creation may take 2-3 minutes

Task 3: Authenticate to this cluster

Reference:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-kubeconfig.html

Open cloudshell

Type on your AWS CLI window

aws sts get-caller-identity

observe your account and user id details

Create a kubeconfig file where it stores the credentials for EKS:

kubeconfig configuration allows you to connect to your cluster using the kubectl command line.

aws eks update-kubeconfig --region region-code --name my-cluster
ex: aws eks update-kubeconfig --region us-east-1 --name unus-eks-cluster-1 # Use the cluster name you just
created

see if you can get the nodes you created

kubectl get nodes

Install nano editor in cloudshell. We will need this in the next task

sudo yum install nano -y

Task 4: Create a new POD in EKS for the 2048 game

clean up the files in cloudshell (Optional)

rm .

create the config file in YAML to deploy 2048 game pod into the cluster

nano 2048-pod.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
   name: 2048-pod
   labels:
      app: 2048-ws
spec:
   containers:
   - name: 2048-container
     image: blackicebird/2048
     ports:
       - containerPort: 80

apply the config file to create the pod

kubectl apply -f 2048-pod.yaml

pod/2048-pod created

view the newly created pod

kubectl get pods

Task 5: Setup Load Balancer Service

nano mygame-svc.yaml


apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
   name: mygame-svc
spec:
   selector:
      app: 2048-ws
   ports:
   - protocol: TCP
     port: 80
     targetPort: 80
   type: LoadBalancer

apply the config file

kubectl apply -f mygame-svc.yaml

view details of the modified service

kubectl describe svc mygame-svc

Access the LoadBalancer Ingress on the kops instance

curl :
or
curl a06aa56b81f5741268daca84dca6b4f8-694631959.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:80
(try this from your laptop, not from your cloudshell)

Go to EC2 console. get the DNS name of ELB and paste the DNS into address bar of the browser

APP: EKS-2048
