• Select Save and Exit to complete creating the AWS VPC object. The AWS VPC site object gets displayed.

In a new empty directory, create a Terraform file with .tfvars extension and populate it using JSON with the following values:

{
  "aws_access_key": "foobar",
  "aws_secret_key": "foobar",
  "name": "<vpc_object_name>",
  "vpc_id": "<vpc_id>"
}

Note: The values in the file should match those used in the previous steps:

• For AWS access and secret keys, use the same values that you used in steps 1.1 and 1.2.
• For name, use the VPC object name you used in step 1.4.
• For VPC ID, use the value you copied in step 1.5.

If the namespace has already been created on the EKS site, then add "create_namespace": 0:

{
  "aws_access_key": "foobar",
  "aws_secret_key": "foobar",
  "name": "<vpc_object_name>",
  "vpc_id": "<vpc_id>"
  "create_namespace": 0
}

Set the $ACTION environmental variable to apply (note the $ACTION value can be plan, apply or destroy):

export ACTION=plan

Run the following command to deploy the EKS cluster:

docker run --rm -it \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
  --env VAR_FILE_NAME=test.json \
  -v ${PWD}:/terraform/templates/ \
  gcr.io/solutions-team-280017/eks_only \
  /terraform/templates/$ACTION
