WordPress on Amazon EKS

Task description

In this task, we have to deploy a WordPress site on EKS(Elastic Kubernetes Services).

Need of EKS?

EKS is a managed Kubernetes service from AWS which makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, maintain, operate and maintain your Kubernetes

Basic requirements:

1 Basic AWS cloud knowledge

2 Basic Kubernetes knowledge

3 Some pre-installed software like AWS CLI ,kubectl, and eksctl to run the services from the cmd line

So let's get started

STEP 1 — Create an IAM user

I already created an IAM named akshat_eks to do this task after creating an IAM login to it using Access Key and Secret Access Key

STEP 2 — After logging in configure your aws

cmd — aws configure

STEP 3 — Create a cluster.yml file in notepad

After creating the cluster.yml file run the cmd to create a cluster in EKS

cmd — eksctl create a cluster -f cluster.yml

After creating the cluster let's move to the next step

STEP 4 — In this step, we create an EFS system for our websites so that it can store the user data permanently and not loose it if your instance is terminated due to some reason

To create EFS using CLI we need to create three yml files one is efs-provisioner.yml second is storage.yml and the third is the rbac.yml file

Before running all these three files let's create a different namespace for our project by using cmd — kubectl create namespace namespace name In my case I already created one named ajns

after that set your namespace to the one you have created using cmd :

kubectl config set-context — current — namespace=namespace name

Now run that files using these three cmds:

kubectl create -f create-efs-provisioner.yaml

kubectl create -f create-storage.yaml

kubectl create -f create-rbac.yaml
