AWS Stack: EKS+EC2+ASG+CDK

AWS Stack: EKS+EC2+ASG w/ CDK

Our Workflows.sh aws-eks-ec2-asg-cdk repository contains a complete, functional PaaS workflow with integrated GitOps and ChatOps features. Designed for deployment to AWS infrastructure, this workflow supports EKS on EC2, Aurora, SQS, Redis, and Autoscaling—all orchestrated by CDK.

Quick Start

Add environment variables to Secrets Store

Create new environment variables via your Secrets Store on the CTO.ai Dashboard, one for each of the following keys:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
GITHUB_TOKEN

Detailed instructions for adding environment variables to your Secrets Store can be found on our Using Secrets and Configs via Dashboard page.

This wiki has more information on generating your AWS and GitHub credentials.
