Editing AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

[[AWS]] Elastic [[Kubernetes]] Service ([[EKS]]) ([[AWS timeline|Jun 2018]] <ref> https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-eks-now-generally-available/</ref>) is a managed [[Kubernetes]] solution for running [[containers]] available in AWS cloud platform since June 2018 <ref>https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/DevOps/Kubernetes/EKS</ref>. EKS can be managed using [[Jenkins X]] software <ref>https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/continuous-delivery-eks-jenkins-x/</ref>. Other AWS services for running containers are [[ECS]] or [[Fargate]].

By default EKS provides 3 [[master node]]s and 3 <code>[[etcd]]</code> nodes, but are invisible to you and Amazon is responsible of [[Autoscaling]] them when needed.

== Installation ==
* <code>[[helm repo add eks]] https://aws.github.io/eks-charts</code>
* [[Create your first EKS Cluster using AWS Management Console]] <ref>https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html</ref>
* [[Deploy EKS cluster using Terraform]]

* Helm charts: 
** [[helm repo add eks|EKS repo]]: <code>[[aws-for-fluent-bit]], [[aws-cloudwatch-metrics]]</code>
** [[helm repo add aws-ebs-csi-driver|aws-ebs-csi-driver repo]]: <code>[[aws-ebs-csi-driver]]</code>

== Costs ==
* [[EKS]] is not included in [[AWS Free Tier]], usually running an EKS cluster is more expensive than [[ECS]] for small deployments.
* AWS charges $0.10 per hour for each EKS cluster (aprox $72 per month) [https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=c9a2b153ce184659c1353bf959ebc47ba3af916a calculator]
