Follow the AWS EKS Getting Started Guide to create a cluster and prepare your local machine to connect to the cluster. Use the Managed nodes - Linux option and specify a --node-type of at least m5.xlarge. To access the AWS EKS Guide, refer to the Get started with amazon EKS - eksctl article on the AWS Documentation site: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/.
As we’ll be using Helm to deploy the Content Services chart, follow the Using Helm with EKS instructions to set up Helm on your local machine. To access these instructions, refer to the Deploy application with Helm on Amazon EKS article on the AWS Documentation site: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/.
Optionally, to help troubleshoot issues with your cluster either follow the tutorial to deploy the Kubernetes Dashboard to your cluster or download and use the Lens application from your local machine. For more information on deploying Kubernetes Dashboard, see the Organize and monitor cluster resources article on the AWS Documentation site: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/.
