How to Create a Kubernetes Cluster on AWS

If you are considering a managed Kubernetes solution, running Kubernetes on AWS is about as good as it gets.

Thanks to technologies like Amazon Fargate and the vast outreach of Amazon’s cloud computing infrastructure, the Elastic Kubernetes Service, or EKS, can offer a truly distributed environment where your applications can run and scale.

With Amazon EKS the scalability is outstanding and the upgrade process is smooth. The tight integration with other AWS services that you get by running Kubernetes with AWS is also a huge bonus.

Now, the easiest way to get started with EKS is to use the command-line utilities that include:

-AWS-CLI to interact with your AWS account,⁣
-eksctl to create, manage and delete EKS clusters,⁣
-kubectl to interact with the Kubernetes Cluster itself.⁣
-docker to create and containerize your application.⁣
-Docker Hub accounts to host your Docker images (free tier will work)⁣

These are the requirements you need on your local computer:
✅Setting Up AWS CLI⁣
✅Creating and Deleting an EKS Cluster using Fargate⁣
