Introduction

The Amazon cluster upgrades workshop is built to provide you with a reference architecture that can help make your Amazon EKS Cluster upgrades less painful and more seamless. To achieve this, we will be using a GitOps strategy with Fluxv2 for components reconciliation and Karpenter for Node Scaling.

Why this architecture?

One of the key benefits of using GitOps is that it enables us to use a mono repository approach for deploying both add-ons and applications. This approach makes the upgrade process much smoother because we have a single location to look at for deprecated API versions and ensure that add-ons are backwards compatible.

EKS Architecture

By the end of this workshop, you will have a solid understanding of how to use GitOps with Fluxv2 and Karpenter to simplify the EKS Cluster upgrade process. We hope that this will help you to streamline your workflow and ensure that your infrastructure is always up-to-date and functioning smoothly. So, let's dive in and get started!

Navigating the repository

Site content

The workshop content itself is a docusaurus site. All workshop content is written using Markdown and can be found in website.

Learner environment

To spin -up your learn environment, go to website page and follow the instructions to run your docussaurus website.

Locally deploy with terraform:

You will need to fork this repo.

Once forked, execute the install.sh (located in the root of this repo) script and fill te asked questions:

bash ./install.sh

When asked for tf_state_path leave it empty to provision all the components
