Setting up EKS - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/setting-up.html
eksctl getting started - https://eksctl.io/getting-started/
kubectl command line - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/

AWS IAM user with credentials (Access key/Secret access key ) - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html

Installation:

1. Create EKS cluster using eksctl tool:

eksctl create cluster --name k8s-goat-cluster --region us-east-1 --node-type t4g.medium --nodes 2

2. update your Kubernetes config file for kubectl access to the cluster

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name k8s-goat-cluster --region us-east-1

3. Clone Kubernetes Goat repo 
git clone https://github.com/madhuakula/kubernetes-goat.git

4. Deploy vulnerable services onto EKS:
cd kubernetes-goat/
bash setup-kubernetes-goat.sh

5. Validate deployments (pods should be in running state):
kubectl get pods 

6. Setup local access to Kubernetes Goat dashboard by port forwarding (run from kubernetes-goat directory)

bash access-kubernetes-goat.sh

7. Access dashboard from your local machine:

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:1234/

cd kubernetes-goat/
bash teardown-kubernetes-goat.sh
eksctl delete cluster --name k8s-goat-cluster

All done!
