Advisory guidance for Amazon EKS architecture and configuration decisions — compute strategy, networking, security, reliability, cost, autoscaling, observability, multi-tenancy, and upgrade planning. Also answers Terraform configuration questions about terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks. Use for any EKS planning or architectural judgment call, even when phrased casually. Do NOT use for generating documents or code (eks-design, eks-build), scoring or auditing a live cluster (eks-operation-review, eks-upgrade-check), discovering what is running (eks-recon), MCP tooling setup (eks-mcp-server), building developer platforms and IDPs (eks-platform-engineering), GenAI/LLM workload decisions — GPU vs Trainium/Inferentia, vLLM/Ray serving, distributed training, ML storage (eks-genai), or compliance-regime hardening and audit prep — HIPAA/PCI/FedRAMP, CIS benchmarks, GuardDuty, image signing (eks-security).
