The UI has a new option of Node Iam role and i have created the IAM role as per specifications on AWS docs but it feels because of permissions its failing

Hi,

Have you tried following the guide at this link: certified-kubernetes-administrator-course/managed-clusters/eks/console/docs/01-sign-in.md at master · kodekloudhub/certified-kubernetes-administrator-course · GitHub?

Hi Raymond i am using the same document but if you see that there is a missing Node Iam role section in that document which atleast now if i am trying to launch the EKS is there and because of failing to attach the role EKS is failing.

Will somebody be there in lab team available to assist on this urgently.

Hi,

The EKS UI has just been updated. Please avoid selecting “Auto Mode Compute - new.” I’ll inform the team to update the documentation.

Then you can create EKS cluster

Hi Raymond,

I am able to get my EKS cluster up now but the new problem is the nodes are not getting added to the cluster, this is my cloudformation stack output and this is my auth file
