## What it is
A collection of Amazon EKS cluster patterns implemented in Terraform that provision complete, opinionated EKS clusters bootstrapped with operational software. It is intended as reference or copy-paste starting code rather than a consumable Terraform module.

## Use cases
- deploy a production-ready EKS cluster with Terraform
- bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster on AWS with observability and operational tooling
- set up EKS with Fargate or Bottlerocket node groups
- get reference patterns for integrating Kubernetes tooling on AWS
- provision purpose-built EKS clusters for workloads quickly
- learn how to configure EKS addons with infrastructure as code

## When to choose
- you want opinionated, complete EKS cluster configurations as a starting point
- you are adopting EKS and need proven patterns for common tooling integrations
- you prefer copy-paste Terraform patterns over a generic module

## When to avoid
- you need a reusable Terraform module with stable variables and outputs - use the companion terraform-aws-eks module instead
- you are not deploying Kubernetes on AWS
- you want a turnkey product to deploy as-is without local customization
