Create and Deploy AWS EKS Cluster with Terraform.

📌 A managed container service for running and scaling Kubernetes applications on-premises or in the cloud is Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).

📌With the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool HashiCorp Terraform, you can specify on-premises and cloud resources in human-readable configuration files that you can share, reuse, and version.

❇Install AWS CLI: Begin by installing the AWS CLI to seamlessly connect Terraform with AWS. Follow the simple steps outlined in the AWS CLI Installation Guide.

❇Install Terraform: Install Terraform using the provided link in the Terraform Installation Guide.

❇Connect Terraform with AWS: Easily link Terraform with AWS by executing the aws configure command and inputting your AWS Security credentials.

❇Initialize Terraform: Clone the repository and initialize Terraform by running terraform init. This step sets up the Terraform environment, downloading necessary modules, providers, and configurations.

❇Review Configuration (Optional): For clarity, you can run terraform plan to preview the configuration before execution.

❇Apply Terraform Configuration: Finally, apply the Terraform configuration to create the EKS cluster within the VPC by executing terraform apply. This straightforward process simplifies the creation of your EKS infrastructure on AWS.
