eksctl: Create a cluster and prevent storing cluster credentials locally.
$ eksctl create cluster --name=${name} --nodes=${4} --write-kubeconfig=false
try on your machine
This command is used to create an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster using the eksctl tool. Here is the breakdown of the command:
eksctl
: This is the command-line tool used for managing EKS clusters.create cluster
: This specifies that we want to create a new cluster.--name=${name}
: This option specifies the name of the cluster.${name}
is a placeholder for a variable that should be replaced with an actual name when executing the command.--nodes=${4}
: This option specifies the number of worker nodes in the cluster.${4}
is a placeholder for a variable that should be replaced with an actual number when executing the command.--write-kubeconfig=false
: This option disables writing the cluster's kubeconfig file on the local machine. The kubeconfig file is used to authenticate and configure kubectl, the command-line tool for Kubernetes cluster management. By setting it tofalse
, the kubeconfig file won't be written, and you'll need to manually configure kubectl to interact with the cluster.
To use this command, you need to replace ${name}
with the desired cluster name and ${4}
with the desired number of worker nodes.
