This is a comprehensive solution to deploy a microservices-based application on an Amazon EKS cluster. The project is structured in three parts:

1. Part 1: Setting up an EKS Cluster using eksctl.
2. Part 2: Preparing the Cluster for the Application.
3. Part 3: Deploying Epinio in EKS cluster and using crossplane to create new services to Epinio Catalog.

Part 1: Setting up an EKS Cluster

In this phase, we focus on setting up a robust and scalable EKS cluster using eksctl. I walk through the steps to create a cluster, setup OIDC, create a nodegroup, and configure kubectl. Finally, verifying the cluster setup. Detailed instructions are available in the Part 1 README.

Part 2: Preparing the Cluster for the Application

Once EKS cluster is up and running, It is necessary to prepare it for the application. This involves a series of steps including steps of deploying RabbitMQ, Postgres, and Redis on cluster and configure their secrets. Detailed instructions are available in the Part 2 README.

Part 3: Deploying Application in EKS using Epinio

This part through the process of deploying Epinio in EKS. We'll use Crossplane with Epinio to improve our experience once these tools work great together. We'll create services in Epinio Catalog using Crossplane. Another way to create infrastructure is using eksctl-yaml. Instead of use a lot of commands we can make this process simple just using yaml to provision eks cluster.

Conclusion

We understand that in the realm of cloud computing, things can quickly become overwhelming with a plethora of services, resources, and best practices. This project aims to approach the concept of developer experience. It also serves as a practical guide and a challenge
