Curiously, creating a new aws provider and passing it to `eks.NewCluster` fixed the issue. Shouldn't providers be passed amongst the parent?

They probably should be but the inheritance logic here was historically patchy and changing it now is a break change as it could cause resource replacements. Something we keep looking at, but not clear what the path forward is yet.

For anyone coming back to this later, I eventually fixed the issue by manually pulling the provider from the parent:

```awsProvider := parent.GetProvider("aws::")```
and passing that provider to the `eks.NewCluser`method.
