Fast Set up a production-quality Kubernetes cluster on AWS

This tutorial aims to set up a production-quality Kubernetes cluster on AWS for small teams with limited operations experience or budget. It provides a simple and modern web application architecture, using Amazon Web Services (AWS) commodity infrastructure such as RDS Aurora, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, or Redis. The tutorial assumes a single developer team with no prior experience in bootstrapping a microservices system, and guides them through setting up an AWS account, creating a VPC, subnets, DNS, and Terraform state storage, generating the Kubernetes cluster, and applying it to their environment. The tutorial covers technical design decisions such as the use of a monorepo, independent Git branches for fabrics, and configuration of availability zones, network, and SSH key pairs. It also provides guidance on how to make the setup cheaper by using smaller EC2 instance sizes and purchasing reserved instances.
