eksctl: Create a cluster using a configuration file and skip creating nodegroups until later.
$ eksctl create cluster --config-file= --without-nodegroup
try on your machine

The command "eksctl create cluster" is used to create an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster.

"--config-file=" is an option that specifies the file path of the configuration file to be used for creating the cluster. This file typically contains detailed specifications and settings for the cluster, such as the number of nodes, instance types, and networking configuration.

"--without-nodegroup" is an option to indicate that the cluster should be created without any initial nodegroups. A nodegroup is a set of worker nodes that run application workloads in the cluster. This option is useful when you want to create an empty cluster and later add nodegroups manually.

In summary, this command creates an EKS cluster based on the configuration file provided, but without any initial nodegroups.
