User: arn:aws:iam::890221204044:user/kk_labs_user_364258 is not authorized to perform: eks:CreateNodegroup on resource: arn:aws:eks:us-east-1:890221204044:cluster/eks because no identity-based policy allows the eks:CreateNodegroup action

Hi @NikhilSai2407

You’re working on an EKS cluster in the KodeKloud lab, right? There’s an instruction guide for creating the EKS cluster that you can refer to here:

github.com

kodekloudhub/amazon-elastic-kubernetes-service-course/blob/main/docs/deploy.md

# Deploying the Cluster

**IMPORTANT**: Ensure that all resources are created in the `us-east-1` (N. Virginia) region

If you came here from the [Amazon EKS course](https://learn.kodekloud.com/user/courses/aws-eks), this is lab step 3.

1. Clone the Repository

    Clone the required repository

    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/kodekloudhub/amazon-elastic-kubernetes-service-course
    ```

1. Navigate to the EKS Directory

    Change into the EKS directory

    ```bash
    cd amazon-elastic-kubernetes-service-course/eks

Hi @NikhilSai2407

The Playground doesn’t support adding a node group to an EKS cluster directly from the console. Please refer to the document link I shared above to set up the EKS cluster properly.
