Terraform Module for RKE2 on AWS

Please review the information below and follow the instructions to deploy this module!

Prerequisites

• Git Utility, Terminal Utility, and HashiCorp Terraform with Access to the AWS Provider Plugin
• AWS Commercial or AWS GovCloud Account with the appropriate elevated privileges to interact with AWS Services

Configuration

Step 1: Ensure Terraform is installed and create a working directory.

Step 2: Copy the code below into a file named main.tf and set the required variables or additional optional variables!

module "rke2-cluster" {
  source  = "zackbradys/rke2-cluster/aws"
  version = "1.2.0"

  region        = "us-east-1"
  access_key    = "ACCESS_KEY_HERE"
  secret_key    = "SECRET_KEY_HERE"
  key_pair_name = "AWS_KEY_PAIR_NAME"
  domain        = "example.com"
  prefix        = "rke2-cluster"
}

Step 3: Run the commands below to deploy and provision your infrastructure!

terraform init

terraform plan

terraform apply --auto-approve

Step 4: Wait about 10 minutes and access your RKE2 Cluster! Typically, users SSH into the nodes via the bastion host to use kubectl on the node or users export the kubeconfig (/etc/rancher/rke2/rke2.yaml) to access the cluster and kubectl locally.
