NODE_GROUP_NAME=$(eksctl get nodegroup --cluster eksworkshop-eksctl -o json | jq -r '.[].Name')
ROLE_NAME=$(aws eks describe-nodegroup --cluster-name eksworkshop-eksctl --nodegroup-name $NODE_GROUP_NAME | jq -r '.nodegroup["nodeRole"]' | cut -f2 -d/)
echo "export ROLE_NAME=${ROLE_NAME}" >> ~/.bash_profile
