Extreme fear while deleting a cluster.

[mjordan79]

Hello guys,
I'm starting to use eksctl for provisioning a new EKS cluster on an existing AWS infrastructure. By existing, I mean we already have various hand-created resources (VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups, etc.).
What I want to do is putting my new EKS cluster into the existing VPC (hence using the existing subnets). These resources are also used by some ECS clusters for other applications).

My biggest fear in deleting the EKS cluster through eksctl is it will REMOVE also the EXISTING VPC and Subnets we use elsewhere.
Is this the case? Will eksctl preserve the hand made infrastructure used by other resources?

The fact is: I can only specify a specific VPC to use by the Subnets. So if I want to create the cluster into a specific VPC, I have to write down my subnet IDs into the yaml file. But in this way they will become "managed" by eksctl, so I'm afraid that deleting the cluster will destroy existing infrastructure that I need.

Please help / advice me.

Best regards.
