[Feature] Add EKS bootstrap Cluster with CDK

@nimakaviani I'd like to work on this issue. Is there a preferred language (python or typescript) for this?

[nabuskey]

My preference would be Typescript but any other statically typed language works. Clarification on what a bootstrapping process needs:

• EKS with Crossplane
• Crossplane AWS Provider
• Crossplane AWS Jet Provider
• Crossplane Kubernetes Provider
• IAM role and IRSA for the AWS provider and Jet AWS provider
• Ideally, permissions boundary support (terraform bootstrap doesn't support this currently)
• Readme

Obviously, you don't need to have all of them in one go. Smaller PRs are definitely preferred. Let me know if have any questions. Happy to help.

[nimakaviani]

from how we did it for terraform, I think the actual bootstrapping will have to go to the sister repo: https://github.com/aws-quickstart/ssp-amazon-eks (if I am not mistaken).

What we will have in this repo will be the how-to instructions primarily, I suppose.

is that right @vara-bonthu ?

[vara-bonthu]

That's correct @nimakaviani !

@gfina It would be good if we leverage our SSP Quickstart to build a bootstrap for CDK. https://github.com/aws-quickstart/ssp-amazon-eks/blob/main/examples/blueprint-construct/index.ts

We may need to add the Crossplane Addon to that SSP Quickstart repo.
