+
+- The
+  [`spectrocloud_cluster_aws`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/spectrocloud/spectrocloud/latest/docs/resources/cluster_aws),
+  [`spectrocloud_cluster_custom_cloud`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/spectrocloud/spectrocloud/latest/docs/resources/cluster_custom_cloud),

+  [EKS clusters](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/spectrocloud/spectrocloud/latest/docs/resources/cluster_eks)
+  configured with Karpenter managed machine pools.
