eksctl
The official CLI for Amazon EKS. More information: https://eksctl.io.
- Create a basic cluster:
eksctl create cluster
- List the details about a cluster or all of the clusters:
eksctl get cluster --name={{name}} --region={{region}}
- Create a cluster passing all configuration information in a file:
eksctl create cluster --config-file={{path/to/file}}
- Create a cluster using a configuration file and skip creating nodegroups until later:
eksctl create cluster --config-file=<path> --without-nodegroup
- Delete a cluster:
eksctl delete cluster --name={{name}} --region={{region}}
- Create cluster and write cluster credentials to a file other than the default:
eksctl create cluster --name={{name}} --nodes={{4}} --kubeconfig={{path/to/config.yaml}}
- Create a cluster and prevent storing cluster credentials locally:
eksctl create cluster --name={{name}} --nodes={{4}} --write-kubeconfig=false
- Create a cluster and let
eksctl
manage cluster credentials under the~/.kube/eksctl/clusters
directory:
eksctl create cluster --name={{name}} --nodes={{4}} --auto-kubeconfig
