[Bug] EKSCTL doesn't recognise new nodegroup after failing to create one with bad configuration

[andrei-dascalu]

What were you trying to accomplish?

Create an IPv6 cluster

What happened?

In my config.yaml, I had added a simple nodeGroup (which is unmanaged). Cluster creation stops with Eksctl saying

022-08-16 19:52:08 [✖]  unmanaged nodegroups are not supported with IPv6 clusters

Following this, I tried to fix the config by changing to managedNodeGroups and running upgrade, however on upgrade eksctl claimed everything is fine

2022-08-16 19:55:27 [✔]  all resources in cluster stack "eksctl-ae-eks-experimental-cluster" are up-to-date

How to reproduce it?

Setup config.yaml with ipv6 cluster and nodeGroups. After failure, update nodeGroups to managedNodeGroups.

eksctl upgrade cluster upgrades the control plane to a newer version, it does not attempt to create any new nodegroups defined in the ClusterConfig. To add new nodegroups, you'll have to run eksctl create nodegroup.

@cPu1 hi, thanks for the reply. I don't quite understand then how it's supposed to work with config.yaml

Config.yaml is supposed to provide a declarative way of configuring a cluster, right? If my first attempt fails, I would expect my second attempt (with a fixed configuration) to have a different result.

@andrei-dascalu your assumption is right, but eksctl seems to be designed in many ways so that a "happy path" run works like that, but every other case needs understanding what went wrong and how to fix it. eg. eksctl != terraform.
