eksctl: Create cluster and write cluster credentials to a file other than the default.
$ eksctl create cluster --name=${name} --nodes=${4} --kubeconfig=${path-to-config-yaml}
try on your machine
This command is used to create a new Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
eksctl
: It is the command line tool for creating and managing EKS clusters.create cluster
: This part of the command specifies the action to create a new cluster.--name=${name}
: This flag is used to set the name of the cluster.${name}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name for your cluster.--nodes=${4}
: This flag is used to set the number of worker nodes in the cluster.${4}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired number of nodes for your cluster.--kubeconfig=${path-to-config-yaml}
: This flag is used to specify the path to the Kubernetes configuration file (usually in YAML format) that will be used to authenticate and access the cluster.${path-to-config-yaml}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file on your system.
By executing this command with the appropriate values for name, nodes, and path-to-config-yaml, you will create a new EKS cluster with the specified name, number of nodes, and the provided configuration file for access.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
