While at it - I heartily recommend you to install aws-shell which boosts your aws cli productivity by providing graphical autocompletion, hints and shortcuts as shown in the image below. I only discovered it recently myself and it's definitely a game changer!
Creating an EKS cluster can be done with (relatively) simple AWS CLI commands. There are a lot of commands to run, and while they can be wrapped in a script and parameterized - it's still not a very good solution. The good thing is that we don't need anything beside AWS CLI. Well, some CloudFormation, but it's AWS-provided. The worst part is that such a script isn't idempotent. Once we create all (or some of) these resources - the script isn't going to work. Also removing all the multiple resources we've created is a lot of manual work now.
