Introduction
In today's fast-paced DevOps environment, automation is not just a luxury but a necessity. The ability to quickly spin up resources in a reliable, repeatable manner can make the difference between meeting a deadline and falling behind.
When deploying Kubernetes clusters on Amazon Web Services (AWS), eksctl is often the tool of choice. However, integrating it with Ansible, a powerful automation engine, can take your infrastructure management to the next level.
In this article, I walk you through automating an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster deployment using Ansible.
We'll also cover how to extend this setup to include a Load Balancer, ensuring your applications are both scalable and accessible.
Previously, I did the same project using AWS CLI. Click here to read the article here.
You can get the code from my GitHub at https://github.com/Here2ServeU/aws-eks. For this project, use the code found from the ansible directory.
This is how you get to the desired directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/Here2ServeU/aws-eks
$ cd aws-eks
$ cd ansible
