This white paper discusses the deployment of Kubernetes applications using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and the introduction of EKS Blueprints. It outlines the significance of Kubernetes as a leading container orchestration platform and the role of AWS in facilitating its adoption through EKS. The document details how EKS Blueprints serve as an open-source project that simplifies the deployment of consistent EKS clusters. It provides a comprehensive suite of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules that streamline the setup process, ensuring operational efficiency and reducing complexity. The paper explains the benefits of using EKS Blueprints, including simplified setup, adherence to best practices, reproducibility across environments, and enhanced collaboration among development teams. Additionally, it presents a practical example of deploying ArgoCD using EKS Blueprints, highlighting the integration of various providers and data sources necessary for a successful deployment. The white paper emphasizes the importance of security and auditability in managing Kubernetes environments.
