Deploying a Distributed Edge Computing Application

In this chapter, we will be using Terraform to deploy a distributed edge application on EKS that has a presence in three locations: an AWS Wavelength Zone, an AWS Local Zone, and the associated AWS Parent Region. The Wavelength and Local Zones are both in the same major metropolitan area. Depending upon the city you select, the Parent Region may be hundreds of miles away.

You will be able to see how a distributed EKS cluster that spans these edge locations can be put together, and clearly see the impact your entry point has on latency.

We’ll cover the following topics:

• Deploying a distributed EKS cluster with Terraform
• Using Terraform to push a distributed application
• Testing the application from multiple sources
• Cleanup
• Notes
