Step 2. Create a Kubernetes Cluster on Amazon EKS Cluster
Step 2. Create a Kubernetes Cluster on Amazon EKS Cluster
You can use the Amazon EKS Cluster to create a Kubernetes cluster and use Kubernetes as a service with EKS. Use EKS to allow rapid application deployment and to eliminate the need to install, manage, and operate your own Kubernetes clusters.
Log in to the following Amazon EKS Cluster console:
page, enter the cluster details, such as the name of the Amazon EKS cluster and the Kubernetes version to install. Specify the role name for the IAM role to allow Amazon EKS and the Kubernetes control plane to manage the AWS resource.
You must also specify VPC for your EKS cluster resources and subnets in VPC where the worker nodes run. You must also specify security groups to apply to the EKS managed Elastic Network Interfaces created in the worker node subnets. Set the private access as disabled and the public access as enabled.
Click

.
Cluster creation initiated message appears.
Verify that the active cluster has the status as active as seen in the following screenshot:
In the
Connect to the cluster
page, you must connect the cluster by authenticating the Amazon SDK and eksctl on the local machine.
Enter the command to update kubeconfig in the following syntax in the eksctl command prompt:
aws eks --region region update -kubeconfig --name <cluster_name>
Add a worker node to the cluster.
For more details to add a worker node to the cluster, see the following AWS documentation link:
