Boilerplate for a basic AWS infrastructure with EKS cluster

We want to share it for free. We want fellow DevOps specialists to use it as a tool to quickly build an infrastructure for their project.

Advantages of this boilerplate

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): using Terraform, you get an infrastructure that’s smooth and efficient
State management: Terraform saves the current infrastructure state, so you can review further changes without applying them. Also, state can be stored remotely, so you can work on the infrastructure in a team
Scalability and flexibility: the infrastructure built based on this boilerplate can be expanded and updated anytime
Comprehensiveness: you get scaling and monitoring instruments along with the basic infrastructure. You don’t need to manually modify anything in the infrastructure; you can simply make changes in Terraform as needed and deploy them to AWS and Kubernetes
Control over resources: the IaC approach makes the infrastructure more observable and prevents waste of resources
Clear documentation: your Terraform code effectively becomes your project documentation. It means that you can add new members to the team, and it won’t take them too much time to figure out how the infrastructure works
It’s free: we’re happy to share the results of our work.
