Bootstrap AWS EKS with Autoscaler and Gitops

Overview

Create Initial AWS Resources
Update locals.tf and provider.tf with Initial AWS Resource Details
Run Terraform to create Terraformed AWS Resources
Run ./script/configure.sh to update FluxCD Manafests with Terraformed AWS Resource Details
Create Github Resources and set credentials Env Variables
Run Flux Bootstrap to deploy Initial GitOps Resources, GitOps controlled K8s Addons & Configs, GitOps controlled K8s Apps

AWS Account - A basic container for AWS resources and security boundary.
Identity Center User - Short-lived authentication. No distributing access keys and associated risk of exposed secrets. Forced 2FA for CLI Access.
S3 Bucket for Terraform State - Terraform must store state about managed infrastructure and configuration. This state is used by Terraform to map real world resources to your configuration, and keep track of metadata
Dynamo DB for Terraform State Locking - Ensures that only one operation (like apply or plan) that could write or change the state is performed at a time. Price likely not a concern given DynamoDB's Utility Pricing model and the low volume of transactions.
Route53 Zone - Controls how to Route traffic for a specific domain, and subdomains.

Repository - The Source of Truth for your Infrastructure. FluxCD will monitor this repo (and the repos it references) for changes and applies them to your cluster.
Flux User for Github Organization - When performing GitOps using a Organization Owned Repo, Flux recommends you create a dedicated user.
Personal Access Token - Flux requires Github Authentication Secrets since it acts on your repo during the bootstrap process.

ACM - Amazon Certficate Manager - Provision and manage SSL/TLS certificates with AWS services and connected resources
VPC - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud - Define and launch AWS resources in a logically isolated virtual network
EKS - Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service - The most trusted way to start, run, and scale Kubernetes
ECR - Amazon Elastic Container Registry - Easily store, share, and deploy your container software anywhere
EKS Roles - IAM Roles for Service Accounts - Allow K8s pods to assume specific AWS IAM roles, enabling fine-grained permission control for applications, such as an K8s Autoscaler, without embedding AWS credentials within them.

Load Balance Controller
Cluster Autoscaler - Cluster Autoscaler - a component that automatically adjusts the size of a Kubernetes Cluster so that all pods have a place to run and there are no unneeded nodes. Requires Kubernetes v1.3.0 or greater
External DNS - External DNS - a Kubernetes addon that configures public DNS servers with information about exposed Kubernetes Services to make them discoverable.
Metrics Server - Metrics Server is a scalable, efficient source of container resource metrics for Kubernetes built-in autoscaling pipelines.
