Summary
In this chapter, you have learned about Kubernetes networking components and services that make a cluster ready for production. You developed the templates and configuration as code for these services with Ansible.
Despite the fact that some of these components come pre-deployed with AWS EKS, you still need to fine-tune their configurations to fulfill your cluster requirements for scaling, availability, security, and performance. You also deployed additional add-ons and services, including ExternalDNS and NGINX Ingress Controller, that proved to be essential for Kubernetes' networking needs.
By using the Ansible configuration management solution that we introduced in the previous chapter, writing the Kubernetes manifests of these services becomes simple, scalable, and maintainable. We follow the same framework and steps to configure each service, and this is repeated for all services and add-on configurations that you will develop during this book.
