Hey folks I m hoping to use Pulumi to deploy an EKS cluster

Question

Hey folks I m hoping to use Pulumi to deploy an EKS cluster and install a bunch Helm charts on it all in one go I m trying to use ` pulumi kubernetes` `helm v3 Chart` and ` pulumi eks` `Cluster` for this purpose Looking at I m not seeing a way that I can pass the `Cluster` to `helm v3 Chart` rather that it will be running the chart against whatever cluster is `helm` default on my system at the time Is there a way to point it at the cluster I ve just created without having to first set up the EKS cluster then make it default in my shell and then run the charts deploy PS One of the charts I want to deploy is the AWS EFS CSI driver going by the note on that it s recommended to use the sigs chart for this Is that still the case
