Version 3.0 of the Pulumi EKS Provider is designed to simplify the management of hybrid and multi-cloud deployments by supporting Kubernetes, a key component in these environments. With the introduction of Amazon EKS Anywhere Bare Metal, teams can now run EKS Anywhere without VMWare vSphere, allowing for automated provisioning of the EKS-A control plane and worker nodes on bare metal servers. This process involves PXE booting and OS provisioning through the Tinkerbell Infrastructure Services Stack, with AWS Bottlerocket or Ubuntu OS 20.04 as options. Pulumi offers automation components to streamline this setup, especially for companies like Pulumi that lack a physical data center, using Equinix Metal for hosting. The setup process includes several steps, such as configuring Equinix Metal and generating hardware and cluster configurations, with Pulumi components aiding in automating these tasks. Pulumi encourages users to try their example repository for implementation and offers support through their Community Slack channel.
