Hi,  
can I create Amazon EKS Cluster by rancher cli?  
`ex. ./rancher cluster create eksCluster`  
I can’t find any solutions for this.

Rancher cluster create is RKE focused, specifically around the Custom and Import workflows with RKE. You could certainly create an EKS cluster using the rest api.
