EKS and Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform vs. CloudFormation vs. OpenTofu
Kubernetes subject matter expert Miguel de Lucas Manzano compares different Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools for managing Amazon EKS.
Specifically Miguel goes through:
➡️ Pros and cons of Terraform, CloudFormation, and OpenTofu
➡️ Considerations for choosing the right IaC tool for your team
➡️ Using Terraform modules for EKS cluster creation
➡️ Exploring AWS EKS blueprints for complex deployments
➡️ Alternative IaC approaches like Pulumi and Crossplane
Original question was "What is your recommended IaC approach when it comes to EKS. Cloudformation vs Terraform vs OpenTofu or is there a better approach altogether?"
This clip comes from a live Q&A we did on EKS and Kubernetes on AWS. Check out the other answers to questions asked in the playlist here:
