Create an EKS Cluster with a Windows Container

Create cluster.yaml file as follows:

cluster.yaml
apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5
kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:
  name: eolh-tutorial
  region: us-east-1 # region of your choice

nodeGroups:
  - name: ng-1
    amiFamily: WindowsServer2022FullContainer
    instanceType: t3.medium
    desiredCapacity: 1
    maxSize: 2
  - name: linux-ng
    amiFamily: AmazonLinux2
    desiredCapacity: 1
    maxSize: 2

Then run this command to create a cluster:

eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml

Note that we need a Linux node for DNS resolution.
