Wanted to share [this](https://engineering.nanit.com/our-journey-to-eks-105d90720b19) excellent article I just encountered around bootstrapping Kubernetes with Amazon EKS. As I’ve been hearing, this article supports the idea that there are still some large hurdles making both building and maintaining a cluster tedious.

Although, there are utilities making this easier like [https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl](https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl), you may want to consider sticking with your kops (or other) formatted deployment mechanism.
