Yeah, not _everything_, but almost or "pretty much" everything. The main exception to "everything" ultimately being S3, and some monitoring exceptions here and there that are purely cloud-side like monitoring AWS' Service Control Policies and using some cloud-side AWS tooling.

AWS has very nice one-to-one mapping of K8s serviceAccount with IAM roles.

We used some cryptography-centric GitOps patterns to eliminate any human hands beyond a dev environment which also helps IAM be easier (but of no less reasonable granularity and quality).

Heh, at a consulting firm I was at not too long ago, all the K8s nodes were sole-tenant on the cloud providers these K8s nodes were on. Intra-cluster Cilium-based Pod-to-Pod networking across cloud-based datacenter sites has been super smooth, but I have to admit I'm probably tainted/biased by that team's uncommon access to talent.
