Case study

EKS foundations with Karpenter (Apura)

Terraform-managed EKS foundations with autoscaling, Bottlerocket nodes, and workload isolation.

Context
Standardizing clusters and scaling behavior
Goal: consistent environments and predictable capacity.
Approach
  • Terraform modules for reproducible cluster baselines
  • Karpenter autoscaling + Bottlerocket nodes
  • Security guardrails baked into IaC
Outcomes
Impact

Reproducible EKS baseline with predictable autoscaling.

Stack: Terraform • EKS • Karpenter • Bottlerocket
