aws-cdk-examples VS kubernetes-the-hard-way

If you are in aws, look at CDK there are modules that make this pretty easy https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/typescript/lambda-cron/index.ts

I am not sure where to post my CDK question. I am trying this project specifically https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/python/existing-vpc-new-ec2-ebs-userdata

There are a ton of other example projects here for the AWS Cloud Development Kit: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples Hope this helps, happy coding!

I am looking at examples of the CDK in python for example https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/python/ec2/instance/app.py

The cdk exple repo is also invaluable. I prefer cdk to terraform because it's actual infrastructure as Code as opposed to templating language as Code. There is fear of vendor lock. But I saw a while back that even hashicorp is working on a cdk implementation

For example, an AWS CDK that describes an infrastructure might look like this: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/typescript/api-cors-lambda-crud-dynamodb

As I delved into the world of Kubernetes, I opted for what seemed like the scenic route—until reality hit. With determination and a sprinkle of naivety, I plunged into crafting a Kubernetes cluster from scratch. Little did I know, I was in for a wild ride of commands, configurations, and complexities. But fear not! With the guiding light of a course based on the notorious "Kubernetes The Hard Way" GitHub repository, albeit customized for AWS instead of Google Cloud, I embarked on my journey to build my digital fortress, one step at a time.

Another resource that I found pretty helpful was "Kubernetes the Hard Way" by Kelsey Hightower despite its complexity.

I recently published Kubernetes the Harder Way, a guide loosely based on Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the Hard Way, but lenghtier, more explanatory, broader in scope, and - most importantly - harder, by targeting a local machine instead of Google Cloud Platform.

How about this? It will setup a kubernetes cluster on GCP with 3 worker nodes?

Some costs here but click on the google cloud calc as it seems to have gone up since he wrote this:

If you wanna go all in: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way

Oh, and both: "Kubernetes up and Running" and "Production Kubernetes" are great books.

Using Kubernetes The Hard Way is a great way to learn it deeply and quickly.

If you wanna learn it deeply and quickly, Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the hard way is fantastic!
