Get started Learn more

Create a basic cluster in minutes with just one command.

Getting started

eksctl create cluster

A cluster will be created with default parameters:

  • exciting auto-generated name, e.g., fabulous-mushroom-1527688624
  • two m5.large worker nodes (this instance type suits most common use-cases, and is good value for money)
  • use the official AWS EKS AMI
  • us-west-2 region
  • a dedicated VPC (check your quotas)
