<p>I am a k8s and EKS noob.
I'm trying to kick a cluster and keep meeting the <em>desiredCapacity</em> key. I just cannot find where it is documented.<br>
Don't bother pointing to the <a href="https://eksctl.io/usage/schema/#nodeGroups-desiredCapacity" rel="nofollow noreferrer">schema</a>, it's not described there.</p>

Skulas
<p><code>When kicking a managed EKS cluster using a yaml config file, what does desiredCapacity in ClusterConfig specify?</code></p>
<p>This field is actually used by ASG; where it means your cluster will start by launching the <strong>desired capacity</strong> (# of EC2 instance), and ASG will monitor and replace any instance that has health issue to maintain the <strong>desired capacity</strong> for your cluster.</p>
