Cluster API Provider AWS (CAPA) Update
summary
Cluster API Provider AWS is at v0.6 and provisions VPCs, subnets, security groups and EC2 control plane nodes using clusterawsadm and published AMIs; the release adds multi-tenant IAM role assumption per cluster so management clusters can assume different workload-account roles, and introduces aws machine pools (Auto Scaling Groups via launch templates) plus EKS managed-control-plane support and managed machine pools. EC2 state changes now trigger reconciles via EventBridge+SQS (previously could take up to 10 minutes), and the project adds spot/dedicated instance support, an AWS request throttler, and a 0.7 roadmap focused on stability and EKS feature parity.
