# Provision an EKS Cluster using Terraform
The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is the AWS service for deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications with Kubernetes.
Deploy an EKS cluster using Terraform and configure `kubectl` using Terraform output.
## Prerequisites
- [AWS account](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup?nc2=h_ct&src=default&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Faws.amazon.com%2Fregistration-confirmation#/start) with the IAM permissions listed on the [EKS module documentation](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/blob/master/docs/iam-permissions.md).
- [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/)
```bash
brew install awscli
```
- [AWS IAM Authenticator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-aws-iam-authenticator.html)
```bash
brew install aws-iam-authenticator
```
- [Kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/kubectl/)
```
brew install kubernetes-cli
```
- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html)
```bash
brew install terraform
```
## Quick Start
#### Terraform
- Prepare your working directory for other commands
```bash
terraform init
```
- Show changes required by the current configuration
```bash
terraform plan
```
- Create infrastructure
```bash
terraform apply
```
#### Configure kubectl
Now that you've provisioned your EKS cluster, you need to configure kubectl. Run the following command to retrieve the access credentials for your cluster and automatically configure kubectl.
```bash
aws eks --region $(terraform output -raw region) update-kubeconfig --name $(terraform output -raw cluster_name)
```
#### Test EKS cluster
```bash
kubectl get all
```
#### Clean up your workspace
```bash
terraform destroy
```
