# AWS Kubernetes

AWS Kubernetes is a Kubernetes cluster deployed using [Kubeadm](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/) tool. It provides full integration with AWS. It is able to handle ELB load balancers, EBS disks, Route53 domains etc.

## Prerequisites and dependencies

* AWS Kubernetes deploys into existing VPC / public subnet. If you don't have your VPC / subnet yet, you can use [this](https://github.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-vpc) module to create one.
* The VPC / subnet should be properly linked with Internet Gateway (IGW) and should have DNS and DHCP enabled.
* Hosted DNS zone configured in Route53 (in case the zone is private you have to use IP address to copy `kubeconfig` and access the cluster).
* To deploy AWS Kubernetes there are no other dependencies apart from [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io). Kubeadm is used only on the EC2 hosts and doesn't have to be installed locally.

## Including the module

Although it can be run on its own, the main value is that it can be included into another Terraform configuration.

```hcl
module "kubernetes" {
source = "scholzj/kubernetes/aws"

aws_region = "eu-central-1"
cluster_name = "aws-kubernetes"
master_instance_type = "t2.medium"
worker_instance_type = "t2.medium"
ssh_public_key = "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
ssh_access_cidr = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
api_access_cidr = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
min_worker_count = 3
max_worker_count = 6
hosted_zone = "my-domain.com"
hosted_zone_private = false

master_subnet_id = "subnet-8a3517f8"
worker_subnet_ids = [
"subnet-8a3517f8",
"subnet-9b7853f7",
"subnet-8g9sdfv8"
]

# Tags
tags = {
Application = "AWS-Kubernetes"
}

# Tags in a different format for Auto Scaling Group
tags2 = [
{
key = "Application"
value = "AWS-Kubernetes"
propagate_at_launch = true
}
]

addons = [
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes/master/addons/storage-class.yaml",
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes/master/addons/heapster.yaml",
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes/master/addons/dashboard.yaml",
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes/master/addons/external-dns.yaml",
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes/master/addons/autoscaler.yaml"
]
}
```

An example of how to include this can be found in the [examples](examples/) dir.

## Add-ons

Currently, following add-ons are supported:
* Kubernetes dashboard
* Heapster for resource monitoring
* Storage class and CSI driver for automatic provisioning of persistent volumes
* External DNS (Replaces Route53 mapper)
* Ingress
* Autoscaler

The add-ons will be installed automatically based on the Terraform variables.

## Custom add-ons

Custom add-ons can be added if needed. For every URL in the `addons` list, the initialization scripts will automatically call `kubectl -f apply ` to deploy it. The cluster is using RBAC. So the custom add-ons have to be *RBAC ready*.

## Tagging

If you need to tag resources created by your Kubernetes cluster (EBS volumes, ELB load balancers etc.) check [this AWS Lambda function which can do the tagging](https://github.com/scholzj/aws-kubernetes-tagging-lambda).
