Prerequisites

​

Review the prerequisites to provision with Terraform

• An AWS account.
• quay.io credentials provided by Domino.
• A SSL certificate for your domain in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).
• A Unix or Linux terminal with the following:
  • Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) installed.
  • Terraform installed with an active session (see the Terraform module requirements for compatible versions).
  • Kubectl installed.
  • Docker installed.
  • Helm installed.
  • The ddlctl command line installed.
• The Platform Operator installed.

​

Validate the prerequisites

aws --version
terraform version
kubectl version --client=true --short=true
docker version
helm version

​

Validate AWS credentials

aws sts get-caller-identity

​

Verify that the required binaries are installed

# ddlctl
ddlctl version

# aws-cli
aws --version

# kubectl
kubectl version --client=true --short=true

# docker daemon is installed and running
docker --version
docker ps

1. Install the aws-cli by following these instructions.
2. Install kubectl by following these instructions.
3. Install Docker and exit the terminal. When you log in again, the modifications that you just made will become active.
4. Install ddlctl.

​

Configure cluster access

1. Run the following:
   unset HISTFILE
   export DEPLOY_NAME=<Name of deployment>
   export AWS_REGION=<The region to deploy the resources>
   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your AWS access key ID>
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your AWS secret key>
   
2. To retrieve the credentials for your Kubernetes cluster, check your local kubeconfig with:
   export KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/kubeconfig
   
3. Update the kubeconfig:
   aws eks update-kubeconfig --kubeconfig $KUBECONFIG --region $AWS_REGION --name $DEPLOY_NAME --alias $DEPLOY_NAME
