# Tutorial: Create an unmanaged compute environment using Amazon EKS resources
<a name="create-compute-environment-unmanaged-eks"></a>

Complete the following steps to create an unmanaged compute environment using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) resources.

1. Open the AWS Batch console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/batch/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/batch/).

1. From the navigation bar on top of the page, select the AWS Region to use.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Compute environments**.

1. Choose **Create**.

1. Configure the environment.

   1. For **Compute environment configuration**, choose **Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)**.

   1. For **Orchestration type**, choose **Unmanaged**.

1. For **Name**, specify a unique name for your compute environment. The name can be up to 128 characters in length. It can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (\$1).

1. For **EKS cluster**, choose an existing Amazon EKS cluster. To create a new EKS cluster, follow the steps on [Create an Amazon EKS cluster page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-cluster.html).

1. For **Namespace**, enter a Kubernetes namespace to group your AWS Batch processes in the cluster.

1. (Optional) For **Maximum vCPUs**, specify the maximum number of vCPUs available for job scheduling from your provisioned capacity.

1. (Optional) Expand **Tags**. Choose **Add tag** and then enter a key-value pair.

1. Choose **Next page**.

1. For **Review**, review the configuration steps. If you need to make changes, choose **Edit**. When you're finished, choose **Create compute environment**.

**Assigning Amazon EKS cluster nodes to unmanaged compute environment**  
After creating the unmanaged compute environment, you need to label your Amazon EKS nodes with the compute environment UUID.  
First, get the compute environment UUID from the `DescribeComputeEnvironments` API result:  

```
$ aws batch describe-compute-environments \
    --compute-environments unmanagedEksCE \
    --query "computeEnvironments[].{name: computeEnvironmentName, uuid: uuid}"
```
Get the node information:  

```
kubectl get nodes -o name
```
Label the nodes with the AWS Batch compute environment UUID:  

```
kubectl label <node-name> batch.amazonaws.com/compute-environment-uuid=uuid
```
