❇Connect Terraform with AWS: Easily link Terraform with AWS by executing the aws configure command and inputting your AWS Security credentials.

❇Initialize Terraform: Clone the repository and initialize Terraform by running terraform init. This step sets up the Terraform environment, downloading necessary modules, providers, and configurations.

❇Review Configuration (Optional): For clarity, you can run terraform plan to preview the configuration before execution.

❇Apply Terraform Configuration: Finally, apply the Terraform configuration to create the EKS cluster within the VPC by executing terraform apply. This straightforward process simplifies the creation of your EKS infrastructure on AWS.
