RKE2 Build
These scripts uses Terraform to automate building of rke2 clusters on AWS, it supports building normal and HA clusters with N master nodes, N workers nodes.
The scripts are simplified into one module that supports both server and agent nodes, the scripts also support building multiple clusters.
rke2
The rke2 module is the only module in the scripts and it builds the following components:
- N servers
- Autoscaling group to build N agents
- Load balancer to proxy to rke2 servers
- Domain name to resolve to the load balancer

RKE2 Server Variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SERVER_HA | Whether or not to use HA mode, if not then sqlite will be used as storage backend |
| SERVER_COUNT | rke2 master node count |
| SERVER_INSTANCE_TYPE | Ec2 instance type created for rke2 server(s) |
RKE2 Agent Variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AGENT_COUNT | Number of RKE2 agents that will be created |
| AGENT_INSTANCE_TYPE | Ec2 instance type created for rke2 agents |
Usage
build
The scripts contain a makefile to simplify building and destroying the servers, first adjust the config in scripts/config file, then run the following command to build the cluster
make build NAME="<name>"This will basically create a directory in the same dir which represent the cluster and run terrafrom from within this dir, a cluster will be created using the info supplied in scripts/config.
destroy
To destroy the cluster just run the following:
make destroy NAME="<name>"
