Building EKS Kubernetes cluster with eksctl

“eksctl” is a very popular and useful tool which can be used to create and manage kubernetes clusters in AWS. It allows us to keep the cluster config as a file so that we know what are the configs that we use to spin up the clusters. If we use AWS console to create the EKS cluster, we need to click few more buttons to spin up the control plane, node groups, add-ons etc. However with eksctl it is just a one command and then eksctl will take care of everything. On the other hand, if we have multiple clusters such as dev, test, prod we can use pretty much the same cluster configs…
