+NOTE: Deploying Karpenter after deploying Istio is not recommended because it disrupts the handling of sidecars to pods on Karpenter managed nodes. As long as Karpenter is deployed first, there is no issue.
+
+The module deploys Karpenter needed AWS resources, namely in IAM. It copies the Karpenter controller from the public registry to local ECR, deploys Karpenter via Helm and deploys a single default Karpenter Nodepool with EC2NodeClass.

+# Karpenter Example
+
+Configuration in this directory creates an AWS EKS cluster with Karpenter provisioned for managing compute resource scaling. In the example, Karpenter is provisioned on top of an EKS Managed Node Group following best practice recommendations. 
+
+## Usage
+
+To run this example you need to execute:
+
+```bash
+$ terraform init
+$ terraform plan
+$ terraform apply
+```
+
+Verifying Karpenter is deployed:
+
+```bash
+$ # Verify Karpenter controller pods 
+$ kubectl get pods -n karpenter
+$ 
+$ # Review controller logs with
+$ kubectl logs -f -n karpenter -l app.kubernetes.io/name=karpenter -c controller
+$ 
+$ # Identify Karpenter managed nodes
+$ kubectl get nodes -L karpenter.sh/registered
+``` 
+
+### Tear Down & Clean-Up
+
+Because Karpenter manages the state of node resources outside of Terraform, Karpenter created resources will need to be de-provisioned first before removing the remaining resources with Terraform.
+
+1. Remove any nodes created by Karpenter
+
+```bash
+
+kubectl delete node -l karpenter.sh/provisioner-name=default
+```
+
+2. Remove the resources created by Terraform
+
+```bash
+terraform destroy
+```
