A terraform module to create a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS. Available through the Terraform registry. Inspired by and adapted from this doc and its source code. Instructions on this post can help guide you through connecting to the cluster via kubectl.

Branch	Build status
master

Assumptions

You want to create a set of resources around an EKS cluster: namely an autoscaling group of workers and a security group for them.
You've created a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and subnets where you intend to put this EKS.

Usage example

A full example leveraging other community modules is contained in the examples/eks_test_fixture directory. Here's the gist of using it via the Terraform registry:

module "eks" {
  source                = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
  version               = "0.1.0"
  cluster_name          = "test-eks-cluster"
  subnets               = ["subnet-abcde012", "subnet-bcde012a"]
  tags                  = "${map("Environment", "test")}"
  vpc_id                = "vpc-abcde012"
  cluster_ingress_cidrs = ["24.18.23.91/32"]
}

Dependencies

The configure_kubectl_session variable requires that both [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl) (>=1.10) and heptio-authenticator-aws are installed and on your shell's PATH.

Testing

This module has been packaged with awspec tests through kitchen and kitchen-terraform. To run them:

Install rvm and the ruby version specified in the Gemfile.
Install bundler and the gems from our Gemfile:
```
gem install bundler && bundle install
```
Ensure your AWS environment is configured (i.e. credentials and region) for test.
Test using bundle exec kitchen test from the root of the repo.

For now, connectivity to the kubernetes cluster is not tested but will be in the future. To test your kubectl connection manually, see the eks_test_fixture README.

Doc generation

Documentation should be modified within main.tf and generated using terraform-docs. Generate them like so:

go get github.com/segmentio/terraform-docs
terraform-docs md ./ | cat -s | ghead -n -1 > README.md
