Hey everyone, I'm setting up security for our new EKS cluster and I'm trying to understand runtime protection.

My team is looking at Lacework and Sysdig specifically for container runtime security. I've read the docs, but I'm still fuzzy on the actual day-to-day differences when you hook them into a real Kubernetes environment.

For those who have used both, could you share some practical points?

* How is the alert fatigue? I'm worried about getting flooded as a beginner.
* I saw Lacework has a Terraform provider. Is the setup easier for someone who's mainly using IaC?
* What about the learning curve for investigating an alert? Which one gives clearer "next steps" for a junior engineer?

Here's a basic snippet of what I'm trying to integrate with. I want to know which tool would fit this simple setup better.

```hcl
# My current EKS module - super basic
module "eks" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
version = "~> 19.0"
cluster_name = "my-app-cluster"
# ... more config
}
```

Any real-world experience on managing these tools would be super helpful. Thanks!
