How can I utilize the Eksctl in managing Kubernetes clusters on AWS?

Eksctl is considered a powerful command-line tool that is designed for the process of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on AWS( Amazon Web services), especially with Amazon EKSS ( Elastic Kubernetes service). The Eksctl has the capability of streamlining the Kubernetes for container orchestration by providing abstracting complex AWS configuration which further reduces the manual effort required. Your team can initiate clusters within a single command which can provide you benefit from default best practices and easily customize configurations. Here is the steps given for the objective after installing eksctl:-

Step-1:-Create a cluster configuration

apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5

kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:

  name: my-cluster

  region: us-west-2

nodeGroups:

Name: ng-1

    instanceType: t3.medium

    desiredCapacity: 3

    volumeSize: 80

    ssh:

      allow: true

Step 2:- Create the cluster

Eksctl creates cluster -f cluster.yaml

Step 3:- Verify the cluster creation

Kubectl get nodes

Eksctl can automate the setup of necessary AWS resources such as virtual private clouded and auto-scaling groups which can create a resilient and scalable Kubernetes environment.
