I use eksctl to create EKS cluster on AWS

After create a yaml configuration file define EKS cluster follow docs, when I run the command eksctl create cluster -f k8s-dev/k8s-dev.yaml to execute the create cluster action, the log show some lines below:

2021-12-15 16:23:55 [ℹ]  will create a CloudFormation stack for cluster itself and 1 nodegroup stack(s)
2021-12-15 16:23:55 [ℹ]  will create a CloudFormation stack for cluster itself and 0 managed nodegroup stack(s)

What is the different between nodegroup and managed nodegroup?

I have read from official docs from AWS about managed nodegroup but I'm still can not clearly which exactly reason to choose nodegroup or managed nodegroup?

What would you use when you need to create a EKS cluster?

eksctl only provide option for you to choose nodeGroups or managedNodeGroups docs: https://eksctl.io/usage/container-runtime/#managed-nodes but not describe the different. But I think the follow document will give you the information you need

It describe the different features between EKS managed node groups - Self managed nodes and AWS Fargate

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-compute.html

Depend on which purpose you want to use to choose the match one with your purpose, and if I was you, I will choose managed nodegroup.
