I just want to build an EKS Cluster to play with the various Data Management capabilities e.g. Backup/Restore, Disaster Recovery and Application Mobility.

It is challenging to create an EKS cluster from AWS Cloud if you are not familiar to it. After the EKS Cluster is up running, we still need to install Kasten, create a sample DB, create policies etc.. The whole process is not that simple.

This script based automation allows you to build a ready-to-use Kasten K10 demo environment running on EKS in about 20 minutes with deploy.sh. For simplicity and cost optimization, the EKS cluster will have only one worker node and create a separate vpc and subnets. This is bash shell based scripts which might only work on Cloud Shell. Linux and MacOS terminal may work as well, but I haven't tested it yet.

If you already have an EKS cluster running, you only need 3 minutes to protect containers on EKS cluster by k10-deploy.sh.

Here're the prerequisities.

1. Go to AWS Cloud Shell
2. Clone the github repo, run below command

git clone https://github.com/yongkanghe/eks-k10.git

3. Install the required tools (eksctl, kubectl, helm) and input AWS Access Credentials

cd eks-k10;./awsprep.sh;. ./setenv.sh

4. Optionally, you can customize the clustername, instance-type, zone, region, bucketname

vi setenv.sh

NOTE:

If you are using AWS provided access via Event Engine, please use ee-* scripts instead.

E.g. ee-eks-deploy.sh, ee-k10-deploy.sh, ee-deploy.sh

Deploy based on your needs

Deploy EKS	Deploy K10	Deploy EKS and K10
./eks-deploy.sh	./k10-deploy.sh	./deploy.sh
