You need a microservice stack to deploy to the cluster. I'm using a microservice stack scaffolded for demo purposes using JHipster. You can use another microservice stack if you want. If you prefer using the same application as in this demo, then you can either scaffold it using JHipster JDL or clone the sample repository from GitHub.

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.
