Package Exports

@pulumi/eks

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@pulumi/eks) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Introduction

pulumi/eks provides a Pulumi component that creates and manages the resources necessary to run an EKS Kubernetes cluster in AWS.

This includes:

The EKS cluster control plane.
The cluster's worker nodes configured as node groups, which are managed by an auto scaling group.
The AWS CNI Plugin aws-k8s-cni to manage pod networking in Kubernetes.

Pre-Requisites

Install Pulumi.
Install Node.js.
Install a package manager for Node.js, such as NPM or Yarn.
Install and Configure the AWS CLI.
- Use AWS CLI version >= 1.18.17.
- See the AWS docs for more details.
Install kubectl.

Installing

This package is available in JavaScript/TypeScript for use with Node.js. Install it using either npm or yarn.

npm:

$ npm install @pulumi/eks

yarn:

$ yarn add @pulumi/eks

Quick Examples

Create a Default EKS Cluster

The default cluster configuration will use the default VPC of the AWS user or role transiently signed in. It will create the EKS control plane and a default worker node group using an autoscaling group of two t2.medium EC2 instances.

import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";

// Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster");

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;

Once the cluster is created, you can deploy into the cluster using usual methods such as kubectl and Helm, or using the @pulumi/kubernetes SDK to deploy in various ways as shown below.

You can retrieve the new EKS cluster's kubeconfig from Pulumi by querying the stack for its output of exported variables if working with the kubectl or Helm tools directly.

pulumi stack output kubeconfig > kubeconfig.json
export KUBECONFIG=$PWD/kubeconfig.json

Deploying a Helm Chart

This example creates a EKS cluster and then deploys a Helm chart from the stable repo. We extract the cluster's kubeconfig from its Pulumi provider to specifically target this cluster for deployments with pulumi-kubernetes.

import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create an EKS cluster.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster");

// Deploy Wordpress into our cluster.
const wordpress = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart("wordpress", {
    repo: "stable",
    chart: "wordpress",
    values: {
        wordpressBlogName: "My Cool Kubernetes Blog!",
    },
}, { providers: { "kubernetes": cluster.provider } });

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;

Deploying a Workload

This example creates a EKS cluster and then deploys an NGINX Deployment and Service using the pulumi/kubernetes SDK, and the kubeconfig credentials from the cluster's Pulumi provider.

import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("my-cluster");

// Create a NGINX Deployment and Service.
const appName = "my-app";
const appLabels = { appClass: appName };
const deployment = new k8s.apps.v1.Deployment(`${appName}-dep`, {
    metadata: { labels: appLabels },
    spec: {
        replicas: 2,
        selector: { matchLabels: appLabels },
        template: {
            metadata: { labels: appLabels },
            spec: {
                containers: [{
                    name: appName,
                    image: "nginx",
                    ports: [{ name: "http", containerPort: 80 }]
                }],
            }
        }
    },
}, { provider: cluster.provider });

const service = new k8s.core.v1.Service(`${appName}-svc`, {
    metadata: { labels: appLabels },
    spec: {
        type: "LoadBalancer",
        ports: [{ port: 80, targetPort: "http" }],
        selector: appLabels,
    },
}, { provider: cluster.provider });

// Export the URL for the load balanced service.
export const url = service.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname;

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
