# Production-Grade AWS EKS Infrastructure (Terraform)

This repository contains a **production-ready AWS EKS architecture** built using Terraform.

It is designed with **high availability, security, and scalability** in mind — following real-world infrastructure patterns, not just a demo setup.

## Key Components

### Networking
- Custom VPC (`10.0.0.0/16`)
- 2 Public Subnets (Multi-AZ)
- 2 Private Subnets (Multi-AZ)
- Internet Gateway for public access
- NAT Gateways (1 per AZ for HA)

---

### EKS Cluster
- Kubernetes v1.31 (managed control plane)
- Public + Private API endpoint access
- Worker nodes deployed in **private subnets**
- Managed Node Group:
- Instance type: `t3.large`
- Auto-scaling enabled

---

### Security (IAM)
- Dedicated IAM roles for:
- EKS Cluster
- Worker Nodes
- IRSA (IAM Roles for Service Accounts) via OIDC
- Enables secure pod-to-AWS communication
- No hardcoded credentials

---

### Storage
- AWS EBS CSI Driver (EKS Add-on)
- Supports dynamic provisioning via:
- Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs)

---

### Load Balancing
- Public subnets tagged for:
- Internet-facing Load Balancers
- Private subnets tagged for:
- Internal Load Balancers

---

## Design Decisions

### High Availability
- Multi-AZ architecture across all layers
- NAT Gateway per AZ (avoids single point of failure)

### Security First
- Worker nodes in private subnets
- No direct exposure to the internet
- IAM roles + OIDC for fine-grained access control

### Scalability
- Auto-scaling node group
- Kubernetes-native scaling support

### Infrastructure as Code
- Fully managed via Terraform
- Reproducible and version-controlled

---

## Key Learnings

- Proper subnet design is critical for EKS networking
- IRSA (OIDC) is essential for secure cloud-native workloads
- Separating public and private workloads improves security posture
- Terraform enforces consistency across complex infrastructure
