eksctl:tldr:90923
This command is used to create an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster using eksctl, which is a command-line tool for Amazon EKS.
Let's break down the command:
-
eksctl
: This is the name of the command-line tool used for managing EKS clusters. -
create cluster
: This is the specific action or command to create a new EKS cluster. -
--name=${name}
: This flag specifies the name of the cluster. The value of${name}
will be replaced by the actual name you provide. For example, if you want to name your cluster "my-cluster", you would replace${name}
with"my-cluster"
. -
--nodes=${4}
: This flag specifies the number of nodes to create in the cluster. The value of${4}
will be replaced by the actual number of nodes you want to create. For example, if you want 4 nodes in your cluster, you would replace${4}
with4
. -
--auto-kubeconfig
: This flag tells eksctl to automatically generate a kubeconfig file for the newly created cluster. The kubeconfig file is used by kubectl (Kubernetes command-line tool) to access and manage the cluster.
Overall, this command creates an EKS cluster with a specified name and number of nodes, and automatically generates a kubeconfig file for easy access to the cluster using kubectl.
