1. Create an EKS cluster. To use a specific version of Kubernetes, use `--version` (1.13.x or newer version required).
1. Create a new file called `cluster-config.yaml` and add the content below to it, replacing `[your_cluster_name]`, `[your_cluster_region]`, and `[your_k8s_version]` with the appropriate values:

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

metadata:
name: [your_cluster_name]
region: [your_cluster_region]
version: [your_k8s_version]
tags:
karpenter.sh/discovery: [your_cluster_name]

iam:
withOIDC: true

managedNodeGroups:
- name: mng-od-4vcpu-8gb
desiredCapacity: 2
minSize: 1
maxSize: 5
instanceType: c5.xlarge
privateNetworking: true

addons:

attachPolicyARNs:
- arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy
- name: coredns
version: latest
- name: kube-proxy
version: latest
- name: aws-ebs-csi-driver
wellKnownPolicies:
ebsCSIController: true
```

1. Create the cluster by running the following command:

```bash
eksctl create cluster --name [your_eks_cluster_name] --region [your_aws_region] --version [kubernetes_version] --vpc-private-subnets [subnet_list_seprated_by_comma] --without-nodegroup
eksctl create cluster -f cluster.yaml
```

Change the values for `vpc-private-subnets` to meet your requirements. You can also add additional IDs. You must specify at least two subnet IDs. If you'd rather specify public subnets, you can change `--vpc-private-subnets` to `--vpc-public-subnets`.

```bash

## Add Dapr requirements for sidecar access and default storage class:

1. Update the security group rule to allow the EKS cluster to communicate with the Dapr Sidecar by creating an inbound rule for port 4000.

2. Add a default storage class if you don't have one:

```bash
kubectl patch storageclass gp2 -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'
```

## Install Dapr

Install Dapr on your cluster by running:

```bash
dapr init -k
```

You should see the following response:

## Troubleshooting

### Access permissions

If you face any access permissions, make sure you are using the same AWS profile that was used to create the cluster. If needed, update the kubectl configuration with the correct profile:
