Prerequisites

To setup and maintain an Ellipsis Drive Kubernetes cluster, you need a Linux machine with the following software installed.

• nodejs (>v20)

• kubectl (version must be compatible with the Kubernetes version you are planning to use)

• AWS CLI

• eksctl

The AWS CLI must have its authentication already set up with credentials that have sufficient access to perform the operations needed to create the Kubernetes cluster. You can do this by running the following command on the machine you are planning to use to setup the cluster.

aws login

Note that by default that authentication through this method can expire, so you may need to run it again after a while.
