> Why would you run 47 clusters?

Entirely possible for an enterprise-y or B2B use-case - some clients might want rigid data / network isolation in a separate account / VPC, plus it reduces the blast radius instead of running everything in one big cluster. There are ways of achieving this in a single cluster with a lot of added complexity, and spinning up a new VPC + K8s might be easier if you have the Terraform modules ready to go.

No. It really is insane. The only business I've encountered running that many clusters is an i18n energy company and they only _have_ to run that many due to regulatory compliance with certain kinds of data hosting.
