## kops create

Create a resource by command line, filename or stdin.

### Synopsis


Create a resource:
  
  * cluster  
  * instancegroup  
  * secret  
  * federation  

Create a cluster, instancegroup or secret using command line flags or YAML cluster spec. Clusters and instancegroups can be created using the YAML cluster spec.

```
kops create -f FILENAME
```

### Examples

```
  # Create a cluster using a cluser spec file
  kops create -f my-cluster.yaml
  
  # Create a cluster in AWS
  kops create cluster --name=kubernetes-cluster.example.com \
  --state=s3://kops-state-1234 --zones=eu-west-1a \
  --node-count=2 --node-size=t2.micro --master-size=t2.micro \
  --dns-zone=example.com
  
  # Create an instancegroup for the k8s-cluster.example.com cluster.
  kops create ig --name=k8s-cluster.example.com node-example \
  --role node --subnet my-subnet-name
  
  # Create an new ssh public key called admin.
  kops create secret sshpublickey admin -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \
  --name k8s-cluster.example.com --state s3://example.com
