Getting Started With Amazon EKS Blueprints for Terraform
· via Spacelift
Summary: A bare EKS cluster is nowhere near production ready, and EKS Blueprints packages the missing layer of add-ons, IAM wiring and team access as Terraform. The add-on model is the real value, since bootstrapping controllers by hand is where DIY clusters rot. Treat it as a starting point you own afterwards, and understand what it generates before you depend on it.
Who should read it: platform teams standing up EKS with Terraform who would rather compose than reinvent.
