Terraform code for creating a Kubernetes cluster in AWS using Talos Linux

References

Talos AWS Terraform Example

Modules

• Cloud Infra - Creates the cloud infastructure required for the cluster

  • VPC, Loadbalancer, security groups, autoscaling groups

• Talos

  • Config - Creates machine configs (applied as user data to the autoscaling group launch configs)
  • Bootstrap - Bootstraps Talos and creates kubeconfig

• Post Install

  • Bootstrap FluxCD (optional - disabled by default, configurable by the post_install terraform variable)
    • Designed to work with the Flux Bootstrap Repository
    • Creates service account for AWS EBS CSI Driver and store credentials in a secret
    • Creates keys for linkerd / cert manager to use
    • Creates config secrets for autoscaler
  • Installs Cilium and creates keys for hubble to use cert-manager

When Terraform has completed, there will be a kubeconfig and talosconfig file in your working directory; after about a minute after completion you should have a functional cluster
