Deploy the Overprovisioner

helm upgrade overprovisioner stable/cluster-overprovisioner --values overprovisionervalues.yml

Scale pods (showcase how overprovisioning works)

kubectl scale deployment/monte-carlo-pi-service --replicas=6

Install the node termination handler (substitute the instance-id with your own)

helm install nth-mock eks/aws-node-termination-handler -n kube-system -f single-node-terminationhandler-values.yaml

to uninstall

helm uninstall nth-mock eks/aws-node-termination-handler -n kube-system

Work with the AEMM and show how the termination handler works (substitute the instance-id with your own)

helm install amazon-ec2-metadata-mock amazon-ec2-metadata-mock-1.6.0.tgz -f metadata-mock-values.yaml

to uninstall

helm uninstall amazon-ec2-metadata-mock amazon-ec2-metadata-mock-1.6.0.tgz
