Issue details

Once https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12709 is solved in core Pulumi, it opens a possibility for eks.Cluster to have a method that returns a fully configured K8S explicit Provider instance that can be used to construct K8S resources in the same program. Consider adding the feature.

@rquitales it seems that https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12709 is resolved now, any update on when this will be implemented. I am really struggling to create a K8s provider from EKS to deploy Helm charts
