It looks like the underlying TF provider also doesn’t support tags: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/eks_cluster.html

I thought Pulumi has its own proprietary provider for kubernetes/EKS?

The original reported issue is https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/issues/74. I believe the EKS cluster itself does not support tags, but the instances and many other resources associated with it do, and we can expose the ability to pass tags down to those.

It does indeed appear that EKS clusters themselves don't support tagging, based on the AWS API https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/eks/#CreateClusterInput and AWS CloudFormation support https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-eks-cluster.html. It appears that, although https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks accepts tags, it only uses them for the SecurityGroup that it creates. I like Luke's suggestion to accept tags and tag anything we can, possibly even letting you pass specific tags for specific resources (e.g.,

tags

applies to everything it can, whereas

securityGroupTags

only applies to the security group).
