  Terraform module to create AWS Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) resources 🇺🇦

  

Then, consider if you're actually bad at this, or if your company's Terraform is just bad. I've seen (and TBH written) some abominations that treat TF as nearly turning-complete, hardcoded values and N-level-nested structures that make it hard to understand. I've also seen some really nice and understandable abstractions that let me do a lot with very little code. See if there's a module like terraform-aws-eks where it's a lot to deal with, but where they do a good enough job in documentation and simplifying layouts and whatnot that you can read it and tell what's going on after a while. That's about as complicated a module as you should expect, so it should be a litmus test for whether you're fine, if you should consider help or, at worst, a career change. I would think at 3YOE SRE you should know most of the basics here (assuming you AWS), if you've focused on something else (GCP/Azure/etc.) go and pick a module that plays more to your strengths.
