+
+# Run Amazon CLI
+docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/work -w /work --entrypoint /bin/sh amazon/aws-cli:2.0.17
+
+cd ./kubernetes/cloud/amazon
+
+yum install jq
+```

+## Login to AWS
+
+https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.html
+
+```
+# Access your "My Security Credentials" section in your profile. 
+# Create an access key

+
+
+# Deploy Cluster with AWS CLI
+
+You can deploy a cluster using multiple ways.  </br>
+We will cover the two fundamental ways.
+
+1) AWS CLI https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.html
+2) EKS CLI (newer) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-eksctl.html
+
+
+## AWS CLI
+
+Kubernetes needs a service account to manage our Kubernetes cluster <br/>
+In AWS this is an IAM role <br/>
+Lets create one! <br/>
+
+Follow "Create your Amazon EKS cluster IAM role" [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.html) <br/>
+
+```
+
+# create our role for EKS
+role_arn=$(aws iam create-role --role-name getting-started-eks-role --assume-role-policy-document file://assume-policy.json | jq .Role.Arn | sed s/\"//g)
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name getting-started-eks-role --policy-arn  arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKSClusterPolicy
+
+# create the cluster VPC
+
+curl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cloudformation/2020-05-08/amazon-eks-vpc-sample.yaml -o vpc.yaml
+aws cloudformation deploy --template-file vpc.yaml --stack-name getting-started-eks
+
+# grab your stack details 
+aws cloudformation list-stack-resources --stack-name getting-started-eks > stack.json
+
+# create our cluster
+
+aws eks create-cluster \
+--name getting-started-eks \
+--role-arn $role_arn \
+--resources-vpc-config subnetIds=subnet-063efe1fa0c5d4913,subnet-06f91e563755e2077,subnet-0824d16f8536b3681,securityGroupIds=sg-0960d3a116ba912e1,endpointPublicAccess=true,endpointPrivateAccess=false
+
+aws eks list-clusters
+aws eks describe-cluster --name getting-started-eks
+```
+
+
+## Get a kubeconfig for our cluster
+
+```
+
+aws eks update-kubeconfig --name getting-started-eks --region ap-southeast-2
+
+#grab the config if you want it
+cp ~/.kube/config .
+
+curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
+chmod +x ./kubectl && mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
+
+```
+
+## Add nodes to our cluster
+
+```
+
+# create our role for nodes
+role_arn=$(aws iam create-role --role-name getting-started-eks-role-nodes --assume-role-policy-document file://assume-node-policy.json | jq .Role.Arn | sed s/\"//g)
+
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name getting-started-eks-role-nodes --policy-arn  arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name getting-started-eks-role-nodes --policy-arn  arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
+aws iam attach-role-policy --role-name getting-started-eks-role-nodes --policy-arn  arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly
+
+```
+More details on node permissions [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/worker_node_IAM_role.html)
+
+
+More details on instance types to choose from [here](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/)
+
+```
+aws eks create-nodegroup \
+--cluster-name getting-started-eks \
+--nodegroup-name test \
+--node-role $role_arn \
+--subnets subnet-0ec47e6ae964a233f \
+--disk-size 200 \
+--scaling-config minSize=1,maxSize=2,desiredSize=1 \
+--instance-types t2.small
+```
+
+## EKS CTL example
+
+```
+eksctl create cluster --name getting-started-eks-1 \
+--region ap-southeast-2 \
+--version 1.16 \
+--managed \
+--node-type t2.small \
+--nodes 1 \
+--node-volume-size 200 
+
+```
+## Create some sample containers
+
+```
+cd ../..
+
+kubectl create ns example-app
+
+# lets create some resources.
+kubectl apply -n example-app -f secrets/secret.yaml
+kubectl apply -n example-app -f configmaps/configmap.yaml
+kubectl apply -n example-app -f deployments/deployment.yaml
+
+# remember to change the `type: LoadBalancer`
+kubectl apply -n example-app -f services/service.yaml
+

+## Cleanup 
+
+```
