Eksctl: Set kubernetes version on install

[Staggerlee011]

Hi, after updating to eksctl version 0.15.0, it is still installing kubernetes version 1.14.

re-create:

apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5
kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:
  name: EKStestcluster1
  region: us-east-1

nodeGroups:
  - name: eksnodegroup
    instanceType: t3.medium
    desiredCapacity: 2
    ssh: # use existing EC2 key
      publicKeyName: eks-key

cloudWatch:
  clusterLogging:
    enableTypes: ["all"]

Running it results in:

[ℹ] eksctl version 0.15.0
[ℹ] using region us-east-1
[ℹ] setting availability zones to [us-east-1e us-east-1b]
[ℹ] subnets for us-east-1e - public:192.168.0.0/19 private:192.168.64.0/19
[ℹ] subnets for us-east-1b - public:192.168.32.0/19 private:192.168.96.0/19
[ℹ] nodegroup "eksnodegroup" will use "ami-08ac00d99a673bad0" [AmazonLinux2/1.14]

EKS default kube version is still 1.14, hence eksctl will create 1.14 cluster.

If you want to provision 1.15, please specify version as per below

metadata:
  ...
  version: '1.15'
...

As clarified by @sayboras , 1.14 is the default EKS version for eksctl 0.15. eksctl 0.17 will make EKS 1.15 as the default version (the RC is out https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/tag/0.17.0-rc.0).
