First, you will need ot install eksctl. eksctl.io. eksctl (pronounced “eks control”) is a simple CLI tool for creating clusters on EKS. It is written in Go, uses CloudFormation, was created by Weaveworks and it welcomes contributions from the community.
At the terminal command prompt, enter the following two commands:
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_$(uname -s)_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/eksctl /usr/local/bin
This will install eksctl
in your Cloud9 environment. To test to make sure the command is installed properly, execute the command:
eksctl get cluster
You should see “No clusters found”. You can also verify it was installed by checking the version:
eksctl version
For the current workshops, we will be using eksctl
0.19-rc.1 or newer. Please verify the version, as some features are only available in the 0.19 version of eksctl
