EKS

EKS is AWS kubernetes service. EKS is the master node completely managed by AWS. We can't have SSH access to it.

• We are going to use EKS managed node group, means we no need to worry about installations, underlying OS, etc.
• We are using spot instances to reduce the bill.
• Create one key-pair and import public key into AWS.

eksctl create cluster --config-file=eks.yaml
