Setting up machine for EKS
By in
1) Install aws. Make sure aws >= 1.16; After installing make sure that aws is in the path
pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user
2) Get the devops user credentials Make sure you have set up login (ie added the user in system:masters group in aws-auth configmap). This the one of the first thing we will do while setting up a eks cluster. We can always update it also. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/add-user-role.html
aws configure
3) Verify user is set up correctly by the configure step
aws sts get-caller-identity
4) Install kubectl (check depending on k8s version)
curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.11.9/2019-03-27/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./kubectl $HOME/bin/kubectl && export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
5) Install aws-iam-authenticator
curl -o aws-iam-authenticator https://amazon-eks.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.12.7/2019-03-27/bin/linux/amd64/aws-iam-authenticator
mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./aws-iam-authenticator $HOME/bin/aws-iam-authenticator && export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
6) Cleanup
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc
rm kubectl aws-iam-authenticator
7) Get the kubeconfig
aws eks --region <<region>> update-kubeconfig --name <<name-of-the-cluster>>
9) Test this
kubectl get svc
