Is there a way to use https://registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws with Pulumi?

not at this time, have you tried our eks package?

Yes. But I couldn't find sample code in Python to create the cluster which deploys the worker nodes in private subnets. The terraform code I used creates around 52 resources, with 3 public subnets, 3 private subnets, nat gateways, security groups, iam roles, asgs, etc. What I am worried about is how to setup the networking for the cluster to work properly.

create the cluster which deploys the worker nodes in private subnets.

use this package (go to Python tab): https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/eks/cluster/ and just leave

public_subnet_ids

empty. just from a quick scan, the API for the eks pulumi package is very similar to the TF module you linked. they might even be the same?

In

private_subnet_id

section its mentioned

Also consider setting nodeAssociatePublicIpAddress: true for fully private workers.

Shouldn't it be

nodeAssociatePublicIpAddress: false

yeah that looks like a documentation error. it also should be changed to

node_associate_public_ip_address

in the python tab since the camelCase is for Typescript
