   $ terraform workspace select prod1

2. Retrieve and configure kubeconfig for the target cluster:

   $ aws eks --region $(terraform output aws_region) update-kubeconfig --name $(terraform output cluster_full_name)

3. Execute the Ansible playbook:

   $ source ~/ansible/bin/activate
   $ ansible-playbook -i \
   ../../ansible/inventories/packtclusters/ \
   -e "worker_iam_role_arn=$(terraform output worker_iam_role_arn) \
   cluster_name=$(terraform output cluster_full_name)
   aws_default_region=$(terraform output aws_region)" \
   ../../ansible/cluster.yaml
