+# Create an Ocean Spark cluster from scratch
+
+This example shows how to create a VPC and an EKS cluster inside of it along with EKS Add-ons required for recent versions (1.25+) of k8s.
+The ADD-ONs installed are EBS CSI, VPC-CNI, KUBE-PROXY, CORE-DNS.
+The EKS cluster is then imported into Ocean and Ocean Spark.
+
+## Details about the VPC
+
+In this example, the VPC is a "private VPC". It contains:
+* private subnets using a NAT gateway for egress. That's where the nodes and pods will go.
+* public subnets. That's where the load balancers and other exposed public IPs will go.
+
+Additionally, the VPC has the following tags to be suitable for an EKS cluster:
+* `kubernetes.io/cluster/<eks-cluster-name> = shared` on the VPC itself, where `<eks-cluster-name>` is the name of the EKS cluster that will use this VPC. This tag should not be necessary since Kubernetes 1.19. We recommend to add it anyway.
+* `kubernetes.io/cluster/<eks-cluster-name> = shared` on all subnets.
+* `kubernetes.io/role/elb = 1` on all public subnets.
+* `kubernetes.io/role/internal-elb = 1` on all private subnets.
+
+## Using the Terraform script
+
+All required inputs are described in `variables.tf`.
