Automated Deployment to an EKS Cluster
In this chapter, you will learn about Kubernetes and Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) provided by AWS for managing Kubernetes workload. First, you will get an overview of the Kubernetes platform and its components and architecture, and then we will learn how EKS service helps in managing the Kubernetes cluster. In this chapter, we will create an EKS cluster and then deploy our sample aws-code-pipeline application to EKS using CodePipeline.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Kubernetes – an overview
- Kubernetes architecture
- Kubernetes objects
- What is EKS?
- Deployment to an EKS cluster
