Calico User Group Slack is a great resource to ask any questions about Calico. If you are not a part of this Slack group yet, we highly recommend joining it to participate in discussions or ask questions. For example, you can ask questions specific to EKS and other managed Kubernetes services in the #eks-aks-gke-iks channel.

The intent of this workshop is to guide users on connecting their K8s cluster to Calico Cloud and to test out its security and observability features.
