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
