I'm trying to create an AWS EKS cluster with Pulumi and it seems two components exists:

• @pulumi/eks providing a Cluster component
• @pulumi/aws providing an eks/Cluster component

@pulumi/eks seems to be higher level but I cannot find a documentation specifying the concrete difference between those, and if one is preferred depending on use cases.

What's the difference between those two components?

CodePudding user response：

@pulumi/eks/Cluster is a component resource that is built on top of @pulumi/aws/eks/Cluster and other resources to simplify provisioning of EKS clusters. Its goal is to make common scenarios achievable with a handful of lines of code, as opposed to the involved model of raw AWS resources.

You can find some usage examples in

• AWS Crosswalk: AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service
• Easily Create and Manage AWS EKS Kubernetes Clusters with Pulumi.

I suggest you start with @pulumi/eks and see if it works well for you.
