AWS

Overview:

VPC:

• In the vpc module, it create two subnets: public subnets, private subnets.
• Public subnets are public to internet. They are connected to Internet gateway.
• Private subnets are private. They are connected to NAT gateway for getting internet traffic.
• Bastion host sits in the public subnets.
• Amazon EKS is using both public subnets and private subnets.
• Kubernetes worker nodes sit in private subnets.
• For saving money, the terraform doesn't provide ASG for bastion host, and nat gateway in each AZs.

EKS Cluster:

• Kubernetes worker nodes are using self mangaed worker nodes, Auto Scaling Group. It also supports Spot Instance.
• Also enable fargate

ALB:

Bastion host:

• Bastion host is a single vm which sits in the public subnets. It is used for managing the kubernetes work nodes if there is a need.
• SSH port 22 is enabled in bastion host vm.

Helm charts

• Kubernetes ingress resources by provisioning Application Load Balancers with aws-alb-ingress-controller
• Auto DNS entry with external-dns. The following two records are automatically generated by it.
• Ingress controller that uses ConfigMap to store the nginx configuration. nginx-ingress
• SSL Enable
• Hostname -> routing rules
• Can support multiple ingress class
