easy

Complete the code to specify the cluster name in the AWS CLI command.

AWS

aws eks create-cluster --name [1] --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/EKSRole --resources-vpc-config subnetIds=subnet-abc123,subnet-def456

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the command name instead of the cluster name.

Using a generic term like 'eks-cluster' without quotes.

The --name parameter requires the cluster name, such as 'MyEKSCluster'.

medium

Complete the code to specify the IAM role ARN for the EKS cluster.

AWS

aws eks create-cluster --name MyEKSCluster --role-arn [1] --resources-vpc-config subnetIds=subnet-abc123,subnet-def456

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an S3 bucket ARN instead of an IAM role ARN.

Using an EC2 instance ARN instead of an IAM role ARN.

The IAM role ARN must be the one assigned for EKS cluster permissions, like 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/EKSRole'.

Fix the error in the subnet IDs specification for the VPC config.

AWS

aws eks create-cluster --name MyEKSCluster --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/EKSRole --resources-vpc-config subnetIds=[1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Separating subnet IDs with spaces instead of commas.

Using semicolons or pipes as separators.

Subnet IDs must be comma-separated without spaces in the AWS CLI command.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to complete the eksctl command to create a cluster with 3 nodes in the us-west-2 region.

AWS

eksctl create cluster --name MyCluster --region [1] --nodes [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong AWS region code.

Specifying the wrong number of nodes.

The region is 'us-west-2' and the number of nodes is '3' as specified.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a CloudFormation snippet that creates an EKS cluster with a specified name, role ARN, and subnet IDs.

AWS

"Resources": {
  "EKSCluster": {
    "Type": "AWS::EKS::Cluster",
    "Properties": {
      "Name": "[1]",
      "RoleArn": "[2]",
      "ResourcesVpcConfig": {
        "SubnetIds": [[3]]
      }
    }
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting quotes around subnet IDs.

Using incorrect role ARN format.

Using wrong cluster name.

The cluster name, role ARN, and subnet IDs must be correctly specified as strings and list items in CloudFormation.
