Creating the cluster

To make our code available in the cloud and publicly accessible, we need to set up a working production cluster, which requires two steps:

1. Create the EKS cluster in AWS cloud (this enables you to run the kubectl commands that operate in this cloud cluster).
2. Deploy your services, using a set of .yaml files, as we've seen in previous chapters. The files require minimal changes to adapt them to the cloud.

Let's check the first step.

Creating the Kubernetes cluster

The best way to create a cluster is to use the eksctl utility. This automates most of the work for us, and allows us to scale it later if we have to.

Be aware that EKS is available only in some regions, not all. Check the AWS regional...
