Setup in Amazon Kubernetes Services (EKS)

Amazon Kubernetes Service (EKS)

The following steps can be followed to set up the LumenVox software within Amazon.

Create EKS Cluster

   

EKS Cluster Networking

  • Specify VPC, select subnets and add the relevant security groups (we used the default VPC security group) 
  • VPC to be created beforehand if it doesn’t exist.

 Select Cluster Endpoint Access

We recommend the following settings:

 

Networking add-ons

We recommend the following settings:

 

Configure logging

We recommend the following settings:

. 

  • Review and click on create
  • Cluster creation can take several minutes to complete. Monitor for any errors. 

Create node group and create node

  • Click on Compute and then Add Node Group

 

Configure Node Group

The following default values are recommended but should be changed as per the client’s individual requirements: 

 

Set compute and scaling configuration

The following default values are recommended however the client should select the operating system that best suits their needs.

NOTE: We recommend instance type be set to: m6a.2xlarge

 

The following can be scaled as be client requirements


 Specify Networking

  • Review and create.
  • Cluster creation can take several minutes to complete. Monitor for any errors.


Create EFS Instance (elastic file storage)

Set up as per client requirements, required as the persistent storage device

 

 

Network Access

Ensure you select the same VPC as the cluster, also select the default security group as well as the “eks-cluster-sg-***” group created by the cluster

  • Review and create
  • Create access point
  • Click on “Access points” and click on “Create access point” and accept defaults. Then click on attach

 

Install kubectl 

Create access keys

To create access keys for an IAM user

  • Sign into the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.
  • In the navigation pane, choose Users.
  • Choose the name of the user whose access keys you want to create, and then choose the Security credentials tab.
  • In the Access keys section, choose Create access key.
  • To view the new access key pair, choose Show. You will not have access to the secret access key again after this dialog box closes. Your credentials will look something like this:
    1. Access key ID: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
    2. Secret access key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
  • To download the key pair, choose Download .csv file. Store the keys in a secure location. You will not have access to the secret access key again after this dialog box closes.Keep the keys confidential in order to protect your AWS account and never email them. Do not share them outside your organization, even if an inquiry appears to come from AWS or Amazon.com. No one who legitimately represents Amazon will ever ask you for your secret key.
  • After you download the .csv file, choose Close. When you create an access key, the key pair is active by default, and you can use the pair right away.
