Clusters in the console
Create, resize, connect to and remove clusters from the Clusters screen.
Clusters lists every cluster in the workspace with its state. Each cluster’s page shows its settings, what was installed, every run against it (build, resize, teardown) with the run’s full output, and the command to connect to it.
Creating a cluster
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, 3 to 40 characters. AWS uses this name too. |
| Cloud account | One of your connected AWS accounts. |
| Region and node size | From AWS’s own catalog for that account. |
| Kubernetes version | The versions EKS supports. Versions in extended support cost more per cluster-hour on AWS. |
| Minimum and maximum nodes | The range the cluster scales within. Set them equal for a fixed size. |
| Disk per node | At least 20 GB. |
| What to install | The capabilities. See Cluster capabilities. |
Resizing
Change the minimum and maximum nodes from the cluster’s page. Region and node size cannot be changed in place on AWS; build a new cluster instead.
