Implementing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service: From Zero to Deploy (Part 4/6)

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service on AWS. With it, customers such as Intel, Snap, Intuit, GoDaddy and many other companies run their most sensitive and mission-critical applications thanks to its security, reliability and scalability. In this series of posts we will see how to implement Amazon EKS from scratch all the way to deploying an application. The topics we will cover:

• Part 1 — Configuring a cluster in EKS
• Part 2 — Configuring node-groups in EKS
• Part 3 — Configuring IAM users as Masters
• Part 4 — Packaging from source code
• Part 5 — Publishing a container image to ECR
• Part 6 — Deploying to EKS from an image in ECR

Continuing our series, today we will package our environment from our source code.

Part 4 — Packaging from source code

PACKAGING FROM SOURCE CODE

• Update the operating system packages (Amazon Linux);
• sudo yum update
• Install Docker and Git;

sudo yum install -y docker git

• Install Development Tools

sudo yum groupinstall -y ‘Development Tools’

• Start Docker

sudo service docker start

• Install Docker Compose and make it executable

sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• Run the NVM install script

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash

source ~/.bashrc

nvm install 6

• Install GO

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.11.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

tar xvf go1.11.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

sudo mv go /usr/local

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

echo “export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin” >> ~/.bashrc

go env

• Add the user to the Docker group

sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

docker version

• Download and run the test application

git clone https://github.com/linuxacademy/eks-deep-dive-2019.git

cd eks-deep-dive-2019/picture-upload/

make install

cd apps/photo-filter/

go build

cd picture-upload/

nano docker-compose.yml # editar o arquivo adicionando access key, secret key e região

docker compose up

In our next post, we will talk about how to publish a container image to ECR.

See you then! =)
