Provisioning AWS EKS Cluster with Terraform – Tutorial

What's this blog post about?

This guide explains how to provision an AWS EKS Kubernetes cluster using Terraform. It covers the installation of necessary tools like Terraform, AWS CLI, and kubectl. The process involves configuring AWS CLI with access credentials, cloning a repository containing the required files for setting up EKS, initializing the Terraform workspace, running a dry run to view changes, applying the plan to provision resources, updating kubeconfig with cluster credentials, deploying an Nginx instance to test the cluster, and finally destroying the created resources. The guide also mentions Spacelift as a tool for managing Terraform state files and building more complex workflows based on Terraform.
