You will only need to make a few choices on this screen. Here's what we have done:
* We named the cluster `spinkube-lke-1`. You should name it according to whatever convention you
prefer
* We chose the `Chicago, IL (us-ord)` region, but you can choose any region you prefer
* The latest supported Kubernetes version is `1.30`, so we chose that
* For this testing cluster, we chose `No` on `HA Control Plane` because we do not need high
availability
* In `Add Node Pools`, we added two `Dedicated 4 GB` simply to show a cluster running more than one
node. Two nodes is sufficient for Spin apps, though you may prefer the more traditional 3 node
cluster. Click `Add` to add these, and ignore the warning about minimum sizes.

Once you have set things to your liking, press `Create Cluster`.

This will take you to a screen that shows the status of the cluster. Initially, you will want to
wait for all of your `Node Pool` to start up. Once all of the nodes are online, download the
