Before we start to create the cluster configuration, we need to create a working directory, as there are going to be a few artifacts created. Let's create a folder called kube-aws-cluster and change to it:
$ mkdir kube-aws-cluster$ cd kube-aws-cluster
Now we are in our working directory we can create our cluster configuration file. To do this run the following command, making sure to replace the values with the information you gathered in the previous section:
If you are not using a Route 53-hosted domain, remove the --hosted-zone-id flag.
kube-aws init \ --cluster-name=kube-aws-cluster \ --external-dns-name=kube.mckendrick.io \ --hosted-zone-id=Z2WSA56Y5ICKTT \ --region=eu-west-1 \ --availability-zone=eu-west-1a ...
