## What it is
A widely-used Terraform module that provisions Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) clusters and associated resources on AWS. It supports managed and self-managed node groups, Fargate profiles, and EKS Auto Mode.

## Use cases
- provision an eks cluster with terraform
- create managed node groups for kubernetes on aws
- set up fargate profiles for eks
- deploy kubernetes cluster infrastructure as code
- configure eks auto mode with terraform
- bootstrap aws networking and iam for eks

## When to choose
- you are using Terraform to manage AWS infrastructure and want a battle-tested EKS module
- you need configurable node groups, Fargate profiles, or Auto Mode support
- you want a community-maintained module with extensive documentation and upgrade guides

## When to avoid
- you are not deploying Kubernetes on AWS
- you use a different IaC tool like Pulumi or CloudFormation
- you need fully custom cluster provisioning beyond what the module exposes
