Automate with Terraform + Flux + EKS: Level Up Your Deployments
summary
Demo shows Flux driving Terraform Controller to provision an EKS cluster from a Kind bootstrap, using Terraform Cloud as backend and writing module outputs to Kubernetes secrets; deployment templates create Git commits and workspaces automatically, and the controller supports manual plan and apply, drift detection, and concurrent Runner pods (tested at 1500 modules). Configuration uses a dependsOn field to sequence Terraform objects (core then nodegroup), and S3 backends are supported too.
