Great in theory but in practice when you do K8s on AWS, the AWS stuff leaks through and you still have lock-in.

- Alupis 2y agoThen don't use the AWS stuff. You can bring your own anything that they provide.
- greener_grass 2y agoThis requires iron discipline. Maybe with some kind of linter for Terraform / kubectl it could be done.
- cwiggs 2y agoIt doesn't have to be that way though. You can use the AWS ingress controller, or you can use ingress-nginx. You can use external secrets operator and tie it into AWS Secrets manager, or you can tie it into 1pass, or Hashicorp Vault. Just like picking EKS you have to be aware of the pros and cons of picking the cloud provider tool or not. Luckily the CNCF is doing a lot for reducing vender lock in and I think it will only continue.
