Challenge
Setting the cloud infrastructure took a lot of effort and was prone to mistakes. It includes:
- Putting up a VPC with subnets
- EKS clusters, load balancers, and services
- Setting up EC2 and CI/CD pipelines for different environments (UAT, production, client-specific)
Solutions:
We put the Infrastructure as Code (IAC) AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) into practice:
- Infrastructure as Code: We built a reusable AWS CDK project that explained load balancers, pipelines, EKS clusters, VPCs, and subnets.
- One-Click Deployment: by a single cdk deploy command, All infrastructure components are provisioned
- Automated Kubernetes Setup: This feature builds and sets up EKS clusters and related services automatically.
- CI/CD Integration: code deployment is smooth thanks to an integrated AWS CodePipeline after infrastructure setup.
- Scalable & Reusable: It will reduce manual intervention by easily deploying multiple environments.
