I've been using this terraform provider quite a lot lately. It has made it a cinch to templatize a full manifest and pass data to the template for a deploy. We now have a fully reproducible base EKS cluster deploy done with working cert-manager/letsencrypt, nginx ingress, weave-net, fluentd logging to elasticsearch service, etc. Our application-specific code lives in a different repo and deploys things using YTT. It's so much more elegant than our old method of copying and pasting manifests and crossing our fingers and hoping the cluster didn't fall down. A full migration to a new cluster and deploy of a whole new application stack takes under an hour now.
