Love this, Awesome, yes we would love to see more, I was actually thinking about what would be the best way to complement EKS-Anywhere to be ready for Day2 operations. I was more in a different direction using flux/Argocd, I wanted to check in my free time on the new Flamingo Flux plugin for ArgoCD and how to package applications as part of it. I would say please keep going, include GitOps, Data management (Backup/restore), governance, ..etc. and thank you for doing it the simple way

Excellent video, I would like ask you something; the addons are activated from terraform only with true/false flags or are there anothers settings?

I really like the idea of blueprints, but the docs just aren't there. A tool like eksctl gives me everything I need to stand up a cluster in various scenarios. With blueprint I've had the following issues:

- import statements not show in examples (ie incomplete examples)
- dead links in docs
- not enough beginner examples, jumps right to hard stuff.

For example, how to deploy a blueprint into an existing vpc? eksctl covers it, blueprint docs don't afaik

Terraform and CDK? No Cloudformation??? Im seriously laughing my @ off.
