karpenter-eks-example

This is an example of how to deploy Karpenter on EKS using Terraform.

Prerequisites

  1. Install terraform.
  2. Install kubectl.
  3. Install helm & helmfile.

Steps

  1. Deploy EKS cluster using terraform inside 01-eks-cluster directory.

    • terraform init
    • terraform apply

  2. aws eks --region eu-west-1 update-kubeconfig --name example-cluster

  3. Install CRDs for AWS Load Balancer Controller. kubectl apply -k "github.com/aws/eks-charts/stable/aws-load-balancer-controller/crds?ref=master"

  4. Deploy AWS Load Balancer Controller, using helmfile inside 02-helmfile-installations directory; helmfile apply -f helmfile.yaml

  5. Deploy karpenter manifest kubectl apply -f 03-manifests/karpenter/nodepool.yaml

All done!

After following the steps above, you should have a working EKS cluster with Karpenter running on it. You can deploy workloads to the cluster and Karpenter will automatically scale the nodes based on the workload.
