I wrote some guides on how to install Kubernetes on AWS and Google Cloud, as well as a small tutorial on how to install Dgraph on either EKS or GKE:

- [Ultimate EKS Baseline Cluster](https://joachim8675309.medium.com/ultimate-eks-baseline-cluster-46593e75bb68) - covers both provisioning EKS and installing Dgraph on EKS
- [Ultimate Baseline GKE cluster, part 1](https://joachim8675309.medium.com/ultimate-baseline-gke-cluster-261c1b5544be) - covers provisioning GKE
- [Ultimate Baseline GKE cluster, part 2](https://joachim8675309.medium.com/ultimate-baseline-gke-cluster-pt-2-b7c123290542) - covers installing Dgraph on GKE

These articles cover the following:

- installing Dgraph and Ratel separately
- utilizing faster storage (SSD)
- using an external load balancer (layer 4) for gRPC and HTTP with Dgraph
- using ingress for Ratel traffic
- using network policies (Calico) for securing Dgraph
