Step-00: Introduction
Install AWS CLI
Install kubectl CLI
Install eksctl CLI
Step-01: Install AWS CLI
Reference-1: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html
Reference-2: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html
Step-01-01: MAC - Install and configure AWS CLI
- Download the binary and install via command line using below two commands.
# Download Binary
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
# Install the binary
sudo installer -pkg ./AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
- Verify the installation
aws --version
aws-cli/2.0.7 Python/3.7.4 Darwin/19.4.0 botocore/2.0.0dev11
which aws
Step-01-02: Windows 10 - Install and configure AWS CLI
The AWS CLI version 2 is supported on Windows XP or later.
The AWS CLI version 2 supports only 64-bit versions of Windows.
Download Binary: https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi
Install the downloaded binary (standard windows install)
aws --version
aws-cli/2.0.8 Python/3.7.5 Windows/10 botocore/2.0.0dev12
Step-01-03: Configure AWS Command Line using Security Credentials
Go to AWS Management Console --> Services --> IAM
Select the IAM User: kalyan
Important Note: Use only IAM user to generate Security Credentials. Never ever use Root User. (Highly not recommended)
Click on Security credentials tab
Click on Create access key
Copy Access ID and Secret access key
Go to command line and provide the required details
aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: ABCDEFGHIAZBERTUCNGG (Replace your creds when prompted)
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: uMe7fumK1IdDB094q2sGFhM5Bqt3HQRw3IHZzBDTm (Replace your creds when prompted)
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: json
- Test if AWS CLI is working after configuring the above
aws ec2 describe-vpcs
Step-02: Install kubectl CLI
IMPORTANT NOTE: Kubectl binaries for EKS please prefer to use from Amazon (Amazon EKS-vended kubectl binary)
This will help us to get the exact Kubectl client version based on our EKS Cluster version. You can use the below documentation link to download the binary.
Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-kubectl.html
Step-02-01: MAC - Install and configure kubectl
- Kubectl version we are using here is 1.16.8 (It may vary based on Cluster version you are planning use in AWS EKS)
# Download the Package
mkdir kubectlbinary
cd kubectlbinary
curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.16.8/2020-04-16/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
# Provide execute permissions
chmod +x ./kubectl
# Set the Path by copying to user Home Directory
mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./kubectl $HOME/bin/kubectl && export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile
# Verify the kubectl version
kubectl version --short --client
Output: Client Version: v1.16.8-eks-e16311
Step-02-02: Windows 10 - Install and configure kubectl
- Install kubectl on Windows 10
mkdir kubectlbinary
cd kubectlbinary
curl -o kubectl.exe https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.16.8/2020-04-16/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe
- Update the system Path environment variable
C:\Users\KALYAN\Documents\kubectlbinary
- Verify the kubectl client version
kubectl version --short --client
kubectl version --client
Step-03: Install eksctl CLI
Step-03-01: eksctl on Mac
# Install Homebrew on MacOs
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
# Install the Weaveworks Homebrew tap.
brew tap weaveworks/tap
# Install the Weaveworks Homebrew tap.
brew install weaveworks/tap/eksctl
# Verify eksctl version
eksctl version
Step-03-02: eksctl on windows or linux
For windows and linux OS, you can refer below documentation link.
