How to run knot on aws:
- cd into 'eks' folder
- run 'terraform apply' to create the eks cluster
- run 'aws eks --region us-east-1 update-kubeconfig --name tf-cluster' in order to connect onto the remote cluster and be able to run commands on it
- (optional) run 'kubectl get pods -A' to make sure that connected onto the cluster
- export the KNOT_HOST envirometal as descibed in knot readme ($env:KNOT_HOST="mydns" in windows)
- cd back onto the folder with knot helmfile
- run 'helmfile sync --concurrency 1' to deploy knot onto the cluster
-after running the helmfile make sure that knot ingress is up
- goto aws route53 console and connect knot ingress to your dns
- *at the bottom of this read me you'll find details on how to do this*
- wait for you dns to propagate and after a while you should be able to see knot be pinging you dns

# Deploy on EKS with Terraform

*Creating the route53 records
As an example I'm using the custon dns "boiboiapp.com"
- Create a route53 hosted zone on aws
- Create records of said route53 in which
- record type = A
- alias = on
- type = Alias to Network Load Balancer
- area = US East (N. Virginia)
- Record name = *.boiboiapp.com/boiboiapp.com (create on record for each)

How to run Knot on AWS's EKS with [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io):
```bash
terraform apply # Create the EKS cluster
aws eks --region us-east-1 update-kubeconfig --name tf-cluster # Connect to it
```

You should now be able to run `kubectl get pods -A` and see the cluster's pods with no errors.

Install Knot:
```bash
export KNOT_HOST=example.com # $env:KNOT_HOST="example.com" in Windows
helmfile -f git::https://github.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/[email protected] sync --concurrency 1
```

Now you need to go to Route53's console create a hosted zone for your DNS name and two records that point to Knot's ingress: `example.com` and `*.example.com`. The screenshot below shows an example DNS entry.

For each record, make sure that:
- Record type is `A`
- Alias is on
- Type is `Alias to Network Load Balancer`
- Area is `US East (N. Virginia)` (or your preferred region)
- Select Knot's ingress service

Now wait for the DNS settings to propagate. After a while you should be able to visit Knot in your browser.
