Eksctl create cluster

https://eksctl.io/usage/creating-and-managing-clusters/

Examples:

eksctl create cluster
eksctl create cluster 'your-sample-cluster' --zones us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1c
eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml

It will create one managed nodegroup containing two m5.large nodes

eksctl create cluster --spot --instance-types=t3.nano
eksctl create cluster --spot --instance-types=c3.large,c4.large,c5.large

eksctl create cluster 'your-sample-cluster' --zones us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1c
(It will take approximately 20 minutes to finish)
