AWS EKS Auto Mode

Description

EKS Auto Mode: Simplifying Kubernetes Infrastructure on AWS In this tutorial, I demonstrate how EKS Auto Mode simplifies Kubernetes deployments by using a contact form application to showcase the built-in EBS CSI driver and ALB ingress capabilities. 🔧 What You'll Learn: • Setting up EKS Auto Mode with Terraform • How EBS CSI driver works out-of-the-box (StorageClass still required) • Configuring ALB ingress without installing controllers • Understanding IngressClass and IngressClassParams in Auto Mode • MySQL deployment using Deployment (StatefulSet recommended for production) EKS Auto Mode Features Demonstrated: On-demand Node Provisioning → No pre-provisioned idle nodes Pre-installed EBS CSI Driver → Persistent storage ready to use Built-in ALB Controller → Ingress works without manual setup Simplified Configuration → Less operational complexity GitHub Repo: https://github.com/seunayolu/eks-auto-mode
