EKS Installation steps in amazon linux

To install Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) on Amazon Linux, you generally follow a set of steps. Note that the following instructions might become outdated as technologies evolve, so it's always a good idea to refer to the official AWS documentation for the most up-to-date information.

Here's a general guide to installing Amazon EKS on Amazon Linux:

Prerequisites:

1. AWS CLI: Make sure you have the AWS Command Line Interface installed. You can install it using the following command:

    sudo yum install -y aws-cli
   

2. kubectl: Install kubectl, the command-line tool for interacting with Kubernetes clusters:

    sudo curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.21.2/2021-07-05/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
    sudo chmod +x ./kubectl
    sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
   

Create an Amazon EKS Cluster:

1. Create an Amazon EKS cluster with eksctl:

   Install eksctl:

    sudo yum install -y eksctl
   

   Create an EKS cluster:

    eksctl create cluster \
      --name <cluster-name> \
      --version 1.21 \
      --region <region> \
      --nodegroup-name <node-group-name> \
      --node-type <node-instance-type> \
      --nodes <num-nodes>
   

   Replace placeholders (<cluster-name>, <region>, <node-group-name>, <node-instance-type>, <num-nodes>) with your desired values.

2. Configure kubectl for your cluster:

    aws eks --region <region> update-kubeconfig --name <cluster-name>
   

Test Your Cluster:

Run the following command to see if your nodes are ready:

kubectl get nodes

Cleaning Up:

When you're done with your cluster, you can delete it with the following command:

eksctl delete cluster --name <cluster-name>

Remember to replace <cluster-name> with your actual cluster name.
