Nice read. I haven't seen any references to Ansible or similar tools. For the ones who know: given the architecture described in the article, does Ansible fit in the picture? I don't know a lot of k8s but I wonder how VMs are provisioned (e.g., how docker is installed?)

In the authors case, terraform will create the EKS (kubernetes) cluster, which then is responsible for creating the EC2 instances. The actual application containers are then created by EKS.

They mentioned using managed Kubernetes. Normally that means the VM provisioning is managed by the cloud provider.
