Abstract

Terraform AWS Kubernetes is an open-source Blockchain & Cloud Computing project. Terraform module for Kubernetes setup on AWS. AWS Kubernetes is a Kubernetes cluster deployed using Kubeadm tool. It provides full integration with AWS. It is built using HCL, Kubernetes, Terraform. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0, making it a useful reference for students building a Blockchain & Cloud Computing mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

AWS Kubernetes is a Kubernetes cluster deployed using Kubeadm tool. It provides full integration with AWS. It is able to handle ELB load balancers, EBS disks, Route53 domains etc.

2. Objective

Terraform module for Kubernetes setup on AWS

This project demonstrates how HCL, Kubernetes, Terraform can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

4. Technology Stack

HCLKubernetesTerraform
  • AWS Kubernetes deploys into existing VPC / public subnet. If you don't have your VPC / subnet yet, you can use this module to create one.
  • The VPC / subnet should be properly linked with Internet Gateway (IGW) and should have DNS and DHCP enabled.
  • Hosted DNS zone configured in Route53 (in case the zone is private you have to use IP address to copy kubeconfig and access the cluster).
  • To deploy AWS Kubernetes there are no other dependencies apart from Terraform. Kubeadm is used only on the EC2 hosts and doesn't have to be installed locally.

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

  • Terraform CLI
  • Cloud provider account (e.g. AWS) with CLI configured
  • Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/scholzj/terraform-aws-kubernetes.git
cd terraform-aws-kubernetes

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

  • Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
  • Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
  • Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
  2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
  3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
  4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
  5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
