Kubernetes is a powerful and extensible container orchestration technology that allows you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. The extensible nature of Kubernetes also allows you to use a wide range of popular open-source tools in Kubernetes clusters. However, With the wide array of tooling and design choices available, configuring an EKS cluster that meets your organization’s specific needs can take a significant amount of time. It involves integrating a wide range of open-source tools and AWS services as well as expertise in AWS and Kubernetes.
AWS customers have asked for patterns that demonstrate how to integrate the landscape of Kubernetes tools and make it easy for them to provision complete, opinionated EKS clusters that meet specific application requirements. Customers can utilize EKS Blueprints to configure and deploy purpose built EKS clusters, and start onboarding workloads in days, rather than months.
- Reference: Users can refer to the patterns and snippets provided to help guide them to their desired solution. Users will typically view how the pattern or snippet is configured to achieve the desired end result and then replicate that in their environment.
- Copy & Paste: Users can copy and paste the patterns and snippets into their own environment, using the code as the starting point for their implementation. Users can then adapt the initial pattern to customize it to their specific needs.
- It requires values.yaml file to be present in eks-blueprint/modules/eks_cluster.This file contains the deployment info about ArgoCD. you can find the template for that here - https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm/blob/main/charts/argo-cd/values.yaml
