Apologies for any confusion, as I might have used "Node Groups" and "Managed Nodes" interchangeably. In this video, whenever I refer to "managed nodes," I am referring to Managed Node Groups.
This tutorial covers how to create an EKS cluster using the AWS Console. The scope is limited to cluster creation. Additionally, we will set up worker nodes using Fargate, Node Groups, and a combination of both.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments! :)
