Keep going... EKS is still in preview, so you probably shouldn't rely on it in production just yet. However you could check out kops (https://github.com/kubernetes/kops), which makes provisioning a k8s cluster on AWS extremely easy. Good luck! :)

I'd highly, highly recommend using kube-aws over kops for AWS. Its far more transparent as it uses CloudFormation templates, though it does have a higher upfront time investment. Probably two hours as opposed to the 30 minutes or so that kops requires.
Kops can emit terraform, FYI.
That's how we've been migrating from our existing terraform-based infra to kubernetes. It made the transition of our staging environment relatively painless.
Good to know, thanks.
