- [Karpenter](https://mintlify.wiki/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/modules/karpenter.md): Sub-module that provisions all AWS infrastructure required to run the Karpenter autoscaler on an EKS cluster, including IAM roles, an SQS interruption queue, EventBridge rules, and a Pod Identity association.
- [Hybrid Node Role](https://mintlify.wiki/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/modules/hybrid-node-role.md): Sub-module that creates the IAM role and policy resources required to authenticate Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes with an EKS cluster, supporting both AWS SSM (default) and IAM Roles Anywhere.
- [EKS Managed Node Group](https://mintlify.wiki/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/modules/eks-managed-node-group.md): Sub-module that creates an EKS managed node group along with an IAM role, security group, and launch template.
