Examples

Example of incorrect code:

resource "aws_eks_cluster" "bad_example" {
    encryption_config {
        resources = [ "secrets" ]
        provider {
            key_arn = var.kms_arn
        }
    }

    name = "bad_example_cluster"
    role_arn = var.cluster_arn
    vpc_config {
        endpoint_public_access = false
    }
}

Example of correct code:

resource "aws_eks_cluster" "good_example" {
    encryption_config {
        resources = [ "secrets" ]
        provider {
            key_arn = var.kms_arn
        }
    }

	enabled_cluster_log_types = ["api", "authenticator", "audit", "scheduler", "controllerManager"]

    name = "good_example_cluster"
    role_arn = var.cluster_arn
    vpc_config {
        endpoint_public_access = false
    }
}
