When it comes to infrastructure provisioning, including the AWS EKS cluster, Terraform is the first tool that comes to mind. Learning Terraform is much easier than setting up the infrastructure manually. That said, would you rather use the traditional approach to set up the infrastructure, or would you prefer to use Terraform?
