-Create a cluster with `eksctl`. The [example configuration](eksctl.yaml) file specifies a basic cluster (name, region), and an IAM role for Karpenter to use.
+Create a cluster with `eksctl`. This example configuration file specifies a basic cluster with one initial node and sets up an IAM OIDC provider for the cluster to enable IAM roles for pods:
 
 ```bash
-curl -fsSL https://karpenter.sh/docs/getting-started/eksctl.yaml \
-  | envsubst \
-  | eksctl create cluster -f -
+cat <<EOF > cluster.yaml

+metadata:
+  name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}
+  region: ${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION}
+  version: "1.20"
+managedNodeGroups:
+  - instanceType: m5.large
+    amiFamily: AmazonLinux2
+    name: ${CLUSTER_NAME}-ng
+    desiredCapacity: 1
+    minSize: 1
+    maxSize: 10

 ```
 
 This guide uses a self-managed node group to host Karpenter.
