Create a DynaoDB Table Manually

aws dynamodb create-table
--region ap-south-1
--table-name terraform-state-lock-dynamodb
--attribute-definitions AttributeName=LockID,AttributeType=S
--key-schema AttributeName=LockID,KeyType=HASH
--provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=20,WriteCapacityUnits=20

Initialize Terraform

Clone the repository and Run terraform init. This will intialize the terraform environment for you and download the modules, providers and other configuration required.

Optionally review the terraform configuration

Run terraform plan to see the configuration it creates when executed.

Finally, Apply terraform configuation to create EKS cluster with VPC

terraform apply
