Amazon’s custom-built Graviton processor allows users to create Arm instances in the AWS public cloud, and Rancher K3s is an excellent way to run Kubernetes in these instances. Following the same narrative, in this article I’ll look at an example of the Calico eBPF data plane running on AWS, using Terraform to bootstrap our install to AWS and Rancher K3s to deploy the cluster.

Use the following command to install Tigera Operator on the cluster: It is possible to verify operator installation using the following command: Next, you should see an output similar to the following: Calico is packed with a lot of features and tunable to its basic components.

Use the following command to begin the installation: Use the following command to verify Calico deployment has finished: There should be an output similar to the following: At this point, we have a working node in our K3s cluster equipped with Calico using the standard Linux data plane.

In the demo folder, issue the following command to remove all the resources created for this demo: Sponsor Note Tigera, the inventor and maintainer of open source Calico, delivers Calico Cloud, the next-generation cloud service for Kubernetes security and observability.
