Out of curiosity, can Pulumi provision a k8s cluster *and* deploy services to said cluster?

That is a component that creates an EKS cluster in AWS and deploys k8s resources to the same.

Woah, awesome!

_starts considering switching from ECS_

You can try this out with `pulumi up <https://github.com/pulumi/apps/eks>`

There's also <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/gcp-ts-gke>

Or `pulumi new <https://github.com/pulumi/apps/eks>`, which will clone the source locally

<https://blog.pulumi.com/program-kubernetes-with-11-cloud-native-pulumi-pearls> has a bunch of examples. Easy wins include importing existing YAML and/or Helm charts and letting Pulumi manage the resources.

Can the cluster be deployed to an existing VPC?

Yep! Something along the lines of <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/6852169b91da1d9de6912656fead3a355d6c57a3/gcp-ts-gke/cluster.ts#L9-L23> -- You can pass it as a parameter.

<https://pulumi.io/reference/pkg/nodejs/@pulumi/eks/index.html#ClusterOptions> has the whole set of options for an `eks.Cluster`

BTW, this question was provoked by reading this <https://pulumi.io/quickstart/kubernetes/setup.html>. Under step 1 in Pre-requisites, it doesn't say you can use Pulumi to do this. I would've expected it to link to a doc showing that Pulumi can do this too :slightly_smiling_face:

Great point! We'll update the doc to reflect that. :slightly_smiling_face:
