Is there any reason why the eks-cluster-with-new-vpc example was removed in v4.25.0?

[cer]

IMHO It was a really simple example of a non-fargate cluster. Just wondering?

[bryantbiggs]

the primary reason was that all of our examples provide configurations for creating both a cluster and a VPC so it was redundant.

Is there a particular pattern or solution that you are looking for?

I'm putting together some training materials about how to deploy microservices on EKS. eksctl create cluster is the simplest approach. But I'd prefer to use an IaC/Terraform-based setup. I want to point students at a simple, minimal example of a non-Fargate EKS cluster that they can build upon.

[bryantbiggs]

the terraform equivalent would be something like:

module "eks_al2" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
  version = "~> 19.15"

  cluster_name    = "example"
  cluster_version = "1.27"

  # EKS Addons
  cluster_addons = {
    coredns    = {}
    kube-proxy = {}
    vpc-cni    = {}
  }

  vpc_id     = module.vpc.vpc_id
  subnet_ids = module.vpc.private_subnets

  eks_managed_node_groups = {
    al2 = {
      instance_types = ["m6i.large"]

      min_size     = 1
      max_size     = 5
      desired_size = 2
    }
  }
}

[cer]

Sure. But sadly, the examples do an excellent job of hiding the potential simplicity. 😀
