Here’s a short theory process for creating an Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes

Service) cluster using Terraform, based on the provided code:


1. Define Providers and Region:
Specify the required AWS provider and the region where resources will
be created.
2. Create a VPC:
o Set up a VPC with a specified CIDR block.
o Add an Internet Gateway for public access.
o Create public subnets across multiple availability zones.
o Configure a route table to allow internet access and associate it
with the subnets.
3. IAM Roles and Policies:
o Create an IAM role for the EKS cluster with a policy allowing it to
assume the role for EKS management.
o Attach the AmazonEKSClusterPolicy to the role.
o Create an IAM role for the EKS node group with policies to interact
with EKS, the CNI plugin, and Amazon ECR.
4. Create the EKS Cluster:
o Define the EKS cluster, associating it with the created IAM role and
VPC subnets.
5. Create Node Group:
o Define an EKS node group (worker nodes) linked to the cluster.
o Configure scaling parameters and specify the instance types for
the nodes.
o Ensure the nodes use the IAM role with appropriate permissions.
6. Outputs:
o Output the EKS cluster name and endpoint for use in further
configurations.
