Scale production grade K8s Multi-Cluster environments using GitOps

" summary

Shows how to provision EKS clusters with Terraform and EKS Blueprints, then hand off Kubernetes deployment to Argo CD ApplicationSet so addons and workloads are pulled and continuously reconciled. Describes a reproducible pattern where Terraform creates IAM roles and annotated Kubernetes secrets, Argo CD generates applications per cluster, and a GitOps bridge scales a hub‑and‑spoke fleet with per‑cluster configs, IRSA‑based credentials, external‑secrets integration and policy checks.
