Has anyone here tried using EKS automode in combination with Karpenter? I'm running into some issues with the Terraform Karpenter module, and I'm wondering if it's better to use the module or stick with Helm for my setup. Any advice would be appreciated!

Here's something useful: EKS Auto Mode leverages a Karpenter-based system to automatically provision EC2 instances based on pod requests. You can check out the best practices from AWS to get more details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/best-practices/automode.html.
I think EKS automode actually runs Karpenter by default, so you might not need to worry about that too much. Just make sure you’re set up correctly!
Yep, you're on the right track! Automode does equate to managed Karpenter.
Are you implying we can include Karpenter as a plugin? That's interesting!
