Using EKS to orchestrate the deployment of a simple apache web server.

Simple Apache Web App using EKS

Pre-requisite:

Set up a Jenkins CICD pipeline that built and publish a simple web application to DockerHub(codes for web app was download from startbootstrap.com)

In this project, I am using Kubernetes to orchestrate the deployment of a simple web app on the AWS platform. The image for the exercise was sources from my publicly repo on DockerHub (mooma/website:2.2) STEPS

1. Create an EKS cluster without nodegroup using default settings.
   • eksctl create cluster --name playgound --region us-west-2 --version 1.24 --without-nodegroup
2. Create a node group made up of three nodes eksctl create nodegroup
   --cluster playground-cluster
   --region us-west-2
   --name playground-ng
   --node-ami-family AmazonLinux2
   --node-type m5.large
   --nodes 3
   --nodes-min 3
   --nodes-max 4
   --ssh-access
   --ssh-public-key us-west2-key
3. Create a deployment manifest for Apache webserver then run
   • kubectl apply -f deployment-name
4. Create a service manifest with the service type loadbalancer listening on port 80, then run
   • kubectl apply -f service-name
5. copy loadbalancer external ip and past in a browser
6. Delete service
   • kubectl delete svc service-name
7. Delete cluster
   • eksctl delete cluster --name cluster-name
