+# AWS
+
+In this tutorial, we'll create a Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster on AWS.
+
+We'll declare a Kubernetes cluster in Terraform using the Typhoon Terraform module. On apply, a VPC, gateway, subnets, auto-scaling groups of controllers and workers, network load balancers for controllers and workers, and security groups will be created.
+
+Controllers and workers are provisioned to run a `kubelet`. A one-time [bootkube](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube) bootstrap schedules `etcd`, `apiserver`, `scheduler`, `controller-manager`, and `kube-dns` on controllers and runs `kube-proxy` and `flannel` or `calico` on each node. A generated `kubeconfig` provides `kubectl` access to the cluster.
+
+!!! warning "Alpha"
+    Typhoon Kubernetes clusters on AWS are marked as "alpha".
+
+!!! warning "Disabled"
+    Clusters do not use EC2 instances with elevated IAM roles. Kubernetes AWS integrations are not enabled.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* AWS Account and IAM credentials
+* AWS Route53 DNS Zone (registered Domain Name or delegated subdomain)
+* Terraform v0.10.1+ and [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) installed locally
+
+## Terraform Setup
+
+Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.10.1 on your system.
+
+```sh
+$ terraform version
+Terraform v0.10.1
+```
+
+Add the [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) plugin binary for your system.
+
+```sh
+wget https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct/releases/download/v0.2.0/terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+tar xzf terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+sudo mv terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.0-linux-amd64/terraform-provider-ct /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+Add the plugin to your `~/.terraformrc`.
+
+```
+providers {
+  ct = "/usr/local/bin/terraform-provider-ct"
+}
+```
+
+Read [concepts](concepts.md) to learn about Terraform, modules, and organizing resources. Change to your infrastructure repository (e.g. `infra`).
+
+```
+cd infra/clusters
+```
+
+## Provider
+
+Login to your AWS IAM dashboard and find your IAM user. Select "Security Credentials" and create an access key. Save the id and secret to a file that can be referenced in configs.
+
+```
+[default]
+aws_access_key_id = xxx
+aws_secret_access_key = yyy
+```
+
+Configure the AWS provider to use your access key credentials in a `providers.tf` file.
+
+```tf
+provider "aws" {
+  region                  = "eu-central-1"
+  shared_credentials_file = "/home/user/.config/aws/credentials"
+}
+```
+
+Additional configuration options are described in the `aws` provider [docs](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/).
+
+!!! tip
+    Regions are listed in [docs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region) or with `aws ec2 describe-regions`.
+
+## Cluster
+
+Define a Kubernetes cluster using the module `aws/container-linux/kubernetes`.
+
+```tf
+module "aws-tempest" {
+  source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//aws/container-linux/kubernetes"
+
+  cluster_name = "tempest"
+
+  # AWS
+  dns_zone           = "aws.example.com"
+  dns_zone_id        = "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0"
+  controller_count   = 1
+  controller_type    = "t2.small"
+  worker_count       = 2
+  worker_type        = "t2.small"
+  ssh_authorized_key = "ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz..."
+
+  # bootkube
+  asset_dir  = "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/tempest"
+}
+```
+
+Reference the [variables docs](#variables) or the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/aws/container-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
+
+## ssh-agent
+
+Initial bootstrapping requires `bootkube.service` be started on one controller node. Terraform uses `ssh-agent` to automate this step. Add your SSH private key to `ssh-agent`.
+
+```sh
+ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+ssh-add -L
+```
+
+!!! warning
+    `terrafrom apply` will hang connecting to a controller if `ssh-agent` does not contain the SSH key.
+
+## Apply
+
+Initialize the config directory if this is the first use with Terraform.
+
+```sh
+terraform init
+```
+
+Get or update Terraform modules.
+
+```sh
+$ terraform get            # downloads missing modules
+$ terraform get --update   # updates all modules
+Get: git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon (update)
+Get: git::https://github.com/poseidon/bootkube-terraform.git?ref=v0.6.2 (update)
+```
+
+Plan the resources to be created.
+
+```sh
+$ terraform plan
+Plan: 98 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
+```
+
+Apply the changes to create the cluster.
+
+```sh
+$ terraform apply
+...
+module.aws-tempest.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (10m50s elapsed)
+module.aws-tempest.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (11m0s elapsed)
+module.aws-tempest.null_resource.bootkube-start: Creation complete after 11m8s (ID: 3961816482286168143)
+
+Apply complete! Resources: 98 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
+```
+
+In 10-20 minutes, the Kubernetes cluster will be ready.
+
+!!! bug ""
+    Typhoon clusters on AWS take much longer to create than clusters on other platforms. This is related to DNS resolution time to the ASG, which will be resolved in a future version that uses static controllers.
+
+## Verify
+
+[Install kubectl](https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/configure-kubectl.html) on your system. Use the generated `kubeconfig` credentials to access the Kubernetes cluster and list nodes.
+
+```
+$ KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.secrets/clusters/tempest/auth/kubeconfig
+$ kubectl get nodes
+NAME             STATUS    AGE       VERSION

+
+## Going Further
+
+Learn about [version pinning](concepts.md#versioning), maintenance, and [addons](addons/overview.md).
+
+!!! note
+    On Container Linux clusters, install the `container-linux-update-operator` addon to coordinate reboots and drains when nodes auto-update. Otherwise, updates may not be applied until the next reboot.
+
+## Variables
+
+### Required
+
+| Name | Description | Example |
+|:-----|:------------|:--------|
+| cluster_name | Unique cluster name (prepended to dns_zone) | "tempest" |
+| dns_zone | AWS Route53 DNS zone | "aws.example.com" |
+| dns_zone_id | AWS Route53 DNS zone id | "Z3PAABBCFAKEC0" |
+| ssh_authorized_key | SSH public key for ~/.ssh_authorized_keys | "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NZ..." |
+| os_channel | Container Linux AMI channel | stable, beta, alpha |
+| asset_dir | Path to a directory where generated assets should be placed (contains secrets) | "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/tempest" |
+
+#### DNS Zone
+
+Clusters create a DNS A record `${cluster_name}.${dns_zone}` to resolve a network load balancer backed by controller instances. This FQDN is used by workers and `kubectl` to access the apiserver. In this example, the cluster's apiserver would be accessible at `tempest.aws.example.com`.
+
+You'll need a registered domain name or subdomain registered in a AWS Route53 DNS zone. You can set this up once and create many clusters with unqiue names.
+
+```tf
+resource "aws_route53_zone" "zone-for-clusters" {
+  name = "aws.example.com."
+}
+```
+
+Reference the DNS zone id with `"${aws_route53_zone.zone-for-clusters.zone_id}"`.
+
+!!! tip ""
+    If you have an existing domain name with a zone file elsewhere, just carve out a subdomain that can be managed on Route53 (e.g. aws.mydomain.com) and [update nameservers](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/SOA-NSrecords.html).
+
+### Optional
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Example |
+|:-----|:------------|:--------|:--------|
+| controller_count | Number of controllers (i.e. masters) | 1 | 1 |
+| controller_type | Controller EC2 instance type | "t2.small" | "t2.medium" |
+| worker_count | Number of workers | 1 | 3 |
+| worker_type | Worker EC2 instance type | "t2.small" | "t2.medium" |
+| disk_size | Size of the EBS volume in GB | "40" | "100" |
+| networking | Choice of networking provider | "calico" | "calico" or "flannel" |
+| network_mtu | CNI interface MTU (calico only) | 1480 | 8981 |
+| host_cidr | CIDR range to assign to EC2 instances | "10.0.0.0/16" | "10.1.0.0/16" |
+| pod_cidr | CIDR range to assign to Kubernetes pods | "10.2.0.0/16" | "10.22.0.0/16" |
+| service_cidr | CIDR range to assgin to Kubernetes services | "10.3.0.0/16" | "10.3.0.0/24" |
+
+Check the list of valid [instance types](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/).
+
+!!! tip "MTU"
+    If your EC2 instance type supports [Jumbo frames](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/network_mtu.html#jumbo_frame_instances) (most do), we recommend you change the `network_mtu` to 8991! You will get better pod-to-pod bandwidth.
