Streamline multi-environment deployments with Amazon EKS Blueprints and CDK pipelines
Containers Blog
This article discusses how to streamline multi-environment deployments for Amazon EKS using EKS Blueprints and CDK Pipelines, focusing on a blue/green cluster upgrade strategy.
- Creates an automated CodePipeline for deploying two EKS clusters with different Kubernetes versions (1.30 and 1.31)
- Uses AWS CDK to define infrastructure as code for cluster deployment and configuration
- Implements blue/green deployment with Route 53 for traffic routing between clusters
- Includes automated deployment of cluster add-ons like AWS Load Balancer Controller, ExternalDNS, and Cert Manager
- Provides manual approval step for switching traffic between blue and green environments
The solution demonstrates an Infrastructure as Code approach to managing Kubernetes clusters, enabling consistent and automated deployments across different environments and versions.
