Create an EKS cluster With Terraform | Modules vs. No Modules

In this video, I demo how to create an EKS cluster and its required resources using Terraform. The first part focuses on creating the cluster with individual Terraform resources, while the second part covers creating these resources using the VPC and EKS modules. Links to the topics covered in this video are available below.
