The eksctl docs are live on the AWS Docs platform

• New site: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/eksctl/what-is-eksctl.html
• New GitHub source: https://github.com/eksctl-io/eksctl-docs
• For information about editing the new repo in AsciiDoc format, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/contribute.html

This directory is for the eksctl.io site.

The eksctl.io site is still live, but in the future it will redirect to the AWS Docs.

As of July 2025, the eksctl.io domain is owned by AWS Legal. The DNS has been migrated to Route53. The site hosting has been migrated to AWS Amplify.

The user docs are written in MkDocs using Material for MkDocs. Install mkdocs and then you can do the following:
