Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to implement a fully functional private EKS cluster, with lots of gotchas. Also, we installed some important add-ons and learned about concepts such as IRSA and the EBS CSI driver. We learned how to enforce policies using OPA and see the security recommendation using Kubescape. Once our cluster was ready to deploy an application, we deployed a StatefulSet MongoDB application, and then tried to create a backup and restoration using Velero. In the next chapter, we will learn about the important concept of chaos engineering and implement it on an EKS node with the Amazon FIS service.
