CDK Pipelines for EKS Cluster(s)

Overview

This project uses CDK Pipelines to define a self mutating pipeline to deploy EKS Cluster(s) to perform tasks like: Blue/Green cluster upgrade, replicate clusters consistently across environments/accounts and etc. It uses CDK for cluster, node, infrastructure and app configuration.

Pipeline

This is the pipeline generated by CDK Pipelines with the following stages: Source, Build, UpdatePipeline, Assets, DeployEKSClusters, UpdateDNS

Node

• Node Policy
• Custom Launch Template

Infrastructure

Uses Helm Charts and IRSA

• CA (cluster-autoscaler)
• metrics-server
• prometheus
• AWS Load Balancer Controller
• external-dns
• Calico (tigera-operator)
• Containers Insigths (amazon-cloudwatch and aws-for-fluent-bit)

App

• Deployment
• Service
• Ingress

DNS

• Route53

Deployment

To deploy the pipeline for the first time, you'll need a GitHub secret name github-oauth-token in your Secrets Manager and then you can deploy it using cdk deploy. After the first deploy, any change that you push to your Git Repository will update the Pipeline and execute.

This project also uses two SSM parameters: /eks-cdk-pipelines/hostZoneId (String) and /eks-cdk-pipelines/zoneName (String). You can use parameters.sh to interactively include your parameters.
