## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Create an account with appropriate permissions](#give-appropriate-permissions)
|
||||
|
||||
Create (or give an existing) user appropriate permissions to create an EKS cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
2. [Create an access key and secret key](#create-access-key-and-secret-key)
|
||||
|
||||
Create an access key and secret key to access Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources from Rancher.
|
||||
|
||||
3. [Create the EKS Cluster](#create-the-eks-cluster)
|
||||
|
||||
Using the AWS account, create your Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) cluster in Rancher.
|
||||
|
||||
## Give Appropriate Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that the account you will be using to create the EKS cluster has the appropriate permissions. Referring to the official [EKS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/IAM_policies.html) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Create Access Key and Secret Key
|
||||
|
||||
Use AWS to create an access key and client secret.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the AWS Console, go to the **IAM** service.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select **Users**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Find the user you wish to create the EKS cluster with. Select the user.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **Security Credentials**.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Click **Create access key**.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Record the **Access key ID** and **Secret access key**. You will need to use these in Rancher to create your EKS cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
## Create the EKS Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
Use {{< product >}} to set up and configure your Kubernetes cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
1. From the **Clusters** page, click **Add Cluster**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Choose **Amazon EKS**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Enter a **Cluster Name**.
|
||||
|
||||
4. {{< step_create-cluster_member-roles >}}
|
||||
|
||||
5. Enter your **Access Key**.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Enter your **Secret Key**
|
||||
|
||||
7. Click **Next: Authenticate & configure nodes**.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Specify any additional options (such as instance type or minimum and maximum number of nodes). Then click **Create**.
