Hello folks, I wanna create an EKS cluster with Pulumi. I saw two libraries:
pulumi_aws
and
pulumi_eks
. I wonder what're the differences between two? And which one is more popular?

Both libraries can get you there.
pulumi_aws
(I assume you’re using Python?) requires you to do more things manually (create the IAM roles and policy attachments, create the cluster, create the nodegroup(s), etc.), whereas
pulumi_eks
does a lot of that for you automatically (at the expense of a loss of some flexibility). Which one is best for you will really depend on your specific requirements.
