Demonstration: Deploy an EKS cluster, Kasten, and PacMan with AWS CloudShell

This demonstration shows how easily you can deploy an EKS cluster, Kasten, and Pac-Man game with AWS CloudShell.

The scripts are hosted in GitHub, allowing you to automatically build a ready-to-use Kasten K10 demo environment running on EKS in about 20 minutes.

Despite the script deploying a Kassandra database, we will deploy the Pac-Man game as an application.

Why? For fun (it's a throwback to ®80s Atari consoles) and to reproduce the snapshot recovery capabilities using the game score! 😊

The scripts to deploy EKS and Kasten were forked and customized by me with some changes.

Please follow the creators of the original scripts on GitHub: @YongkangHe and @saintdle.

There are some options to deploy based on your needs:

  • Deploy EKS
  • Deploy Kasten
  • Deploy EKS and Kasten

In this case, we will deploy both EKS and Kasten. After that, deploy the PacMan game.

Thank you! I hope it was useful!

Love to see pac-man living on within Kubernetes clusters far and wide.

I think we really need to organize a Kubernetes Pac-Man championship! đŸ˜. Maybe a booth in the HOL at VeeamON, i.e. build your cluster, deploy pac-man, then play for points to win SWAG!!

@michaelcade, when I was still a kid and played Pac-Man with an Atari cartridge, I never thought I could reproduce the game and even more so as a K8ÂŽs micro-application hosted in the public cloud! And you can back your score with K10! It is sensational! đŸ˜đŸ‘
