Better explanation for kubernetes-end-to-end-aws in cdks-examples

[Analect]

Thanks team for your efforts around these examples. I was working through the kubernetes-end-to-end-aws one today.

It would be great to perhaps have a more detailed blog-post around what's happening behind-the-scenes here. It seems there are >80 resources created as part of the main CloudFormation stack (below) and a few nested ones.

I realise there are some in-line explanations in the file, but even with that, it feels a bit like a black-box. It took almost 25 mins to deploy and equally long to destroy.

Stack ARN:
arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:XXXXX:stack/kubernetes-end-to-end/aa1de860-f3cf-11ed-8f60-061c22f4816d

✨  Total time: 1406.82s

Certain Lambda functions and even Step Functions were created, and I've no idea why.

One last thing - the slack invite on https://cdk.dev/ is no longer active.

@Analect Yeah there's definitely a lot going on here...

All of these resources are coming from the AWS CDK. The VPC construct over there for example creates a lot of resources for you, and the EKS construct is also fairly involved.

Here are some links that help clarify things:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_eks-readme.html#architectural-overview
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2.Vpc.html

We'll see if we can compress those somehow and document them in the example. Any suggestions are welcome :)

Thanks!

@Analect the slack invite should be fixed now. Thanks for letting us know.
