How to Deploy a Production-Style EKS Fargate Cluster with AWS Load Balancer Controller
A technical guide published on DEV Community walks developers through deploying a Kubernetes application on Amazon EKS using AWS Fargate and an Application Load Balancer. The setup uses eksctl to provision the EKS control plane, VPC, subnets, and Fargate profiles in the us-east-1 region. OIDC integration is enabled to allow Kubernetes service accounts to securely assume IAM roles via IRSA, removing the need to hardcode AWS credentials in pods. The AWS Load Balancer Controller is installed to manage ALB Ingress resources, and the 2048 sample game is used as the demonstration workload. Because all workloads run on Fargate, no EC2 worker nodes need to be provisioned or managed.
