## 🤔 Why we need this? what it is trying to resolve?
In the real world, not all [Amazon EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/what-is-eks.html) clusters require [autosclaing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/autoscaling.html) mechanism, some of them needs to be manually scaled. To reduce human errors, `eks-managed-node-groups` is here to solve this problem, `eks-managed-node-groups` provides an user friendly [TUI (Text-based User Interface)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface) allows users to easily jump between clusters with only a few options, without having to log into the Amazon EKS console and jump between configuration pages.
