Terraform for AWS EKS Cluster

This repository contains Terraform code to provision and manage a foundational AWS environment, including a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster.

About This Project

This project serves as a practical example of using Terraform to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It automates the setup of a scalable and secure Kubernetes environment on AWS, suitable for deploying containerized applications.

Key Features

• Custom VPC: Deploys a custom VPC with public and private subnets across multiple availability zones for high availability.
• EKS Cluster: Provisions an EKS cluster with a managed node group.
• Networking: Sets up essential networking components like Internet Gateways, NAT Gateways, and route tables.

Prerequisites

• Terraform installed
• AWS CLI installed and configured with your credentials
• kubectl installed
