Hi all, I am new to Pulumi. I used Java to deploy an EKS cluster. After some problems using a class from the wrong package, I found that there are two distinct packages: `com.pulumi.aws.eks` and `com.pulumi.eks`. What is the difference between the two? Is there some article that explains it?

Hi <@U04L65X366Q>, `aws.eks` is from the pulumi AWS Classic provider which exposes all of AWS. `eks` is from <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/eks/|this>, a <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/components/|component> for EKS, i.e., a higher-level abstraction. `eks` gets you started faster and reduces code, `aws.eks` gives you full control.
