kubermatic VS terraform-aws-eks-blueprints

Aiven, Kubermatic, Runecast and SVA Software invite you to join us at our “VIP After Party” at KubeCon CloudNativeCon North America 2022 in Detroit. The party continues only a 15-minute walk away from the conference venue after the official booth crawl on October 26 at the Hollywood Casino. This is a great opportunity to network and meet your peers in a relaxing atmosphere while enjoying tasty food, drinks, and music.

Also, cloud-native operations are a way to build and run applications that give an advantage of scalability to the computing model. For teams using the pipeline as code, they can configure builds, and tests, and deploy in code that is trackable and stored in the same shared repository source code.

The also have management layer (https://github.com/kubermatic/kubermatic) for multiple cloud environments which I did not try but look forward to it (probably comparable to rancher).

Have you checked out this repo https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints

Now that you have the networking part done, you can build configurations for the EKS cluster and its add-ons. You will use the terraform-aws-modules to create the EKS cluster and eks_blueprints module from terraform-aws-eks-blueprintsto configure EKS add-ons.

Anyone using eks blueprints or cloudposse's module?

Take a look at the EKS Blueprints for Terraform as a place to start. I know the team is working on their v5 release which should be a solid improvement. https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-eks-blueprints/milestone/1

Take a look at the EKS Blueprints for Terraform v5 rewrite for more details. However, EKS Blueprints for Terraform (v4 as it is today) is pretty darn good _if_ you just want to manage basic charst like load balancer controller and Karpenter. It provisions IAM Roles and Policies along with Helm charts all in one easy set-up. It's just not something I'd want to touch with more complex use cases and we'll see how the EKS Blueprints team does with the v5 rewrite - their direction looks reasonable, but Terraform just isn't really designed for the problem it's trying to solve there, so it's going to be somewhat clunky one way or another.
