Create Node groups

Overall

In Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), Node Groups are collections of Amazon EC2 instances that function as worker nodes in your EKS cluster. These nodes run the containerized workloads in pods, and they are where Kubernetes schedules and manages application workloads.

Create Node groups

1. Go to EKS management console.

• Click on Clusters.
• Choose labEKSCluster01 cluster.

2. At labEKSCluster01 console.

• Click Compute tab.
• Click Add node group.

3. At Step 1: Configure node group section.

• Enter labNodeGroup01 value at Name field.
• Choose labNodeGroupsRole at Node IAM role field.
• Scroll down and click Next.

4. At Step 2: Set compute and scaling configuration section.

• Choose Spot at Capacity type field.
• Choose m1.medium at Instance types field.
• Scroll down and click Next.

5. At Step 3: Specify networking section.

• Choose labPrivateSubnet01 and labPrivateSubnet02 at Subnet field.
• Click Next.

6. At Step 4: Review and create section.

• Leave as default and click Create.

  It will take some time for the Node groups to be successfully created.

7. Check if labNodeGroup01 created successfully or not.

Next we will configure the EKS cluster.
