Look inside

FGTO is almost ready to deploy their Kubernetes application—they just need you to help them create a Kubernetes cluster for their production environment. The simplest and most reliable way to do this is to use a managed Kubernetes service, and for this liveProject, you’ll use AWS EKS. You’ll work with various tools, including Terraform and Crossplane, to create and configure the cluster. Terraform helps you configure your cluster with just a small amount of code, while Crossplane ensures you can provision the service and its infrastructure using only Kubernetes manifests. Once the application is deployed, you’ll work to encrypt secrets in Git using SOPS and AWS KMS and promote changes from development to production on EKS. When you’re done, FGTO will have a complete working Kubernetes deployment!


This liveProject utilizes the paid services of AWS and may require you to utilize the paid features of GitHub Actions.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
