-  1. Copy the following contents to your device. Replace `my-cluster` with the name of your cluster. The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and can’t be longer than 100 characters. Replace `ng-ubuntu` with a name for your node group. The node group name can’t be longer than 63 characters. It must start with letter or digit, but can also include hyphens and underscores for the remaining characters. To deploy on Arm instances, replace `m5.large` with an Arm instance type. Replace `my-ec2-keypair-name` with the name of an Amazon EC2 SSH key pair that you can use to connect using SSH into your nodes with after they launch. If you don’t already have an Amazon EC2 key pair, you can create one in the AWS Management Console. For more information, see [Amazon EC2 key pairs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html) in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. Replace all remaining example values with your own values. Once you’ve made the replacements, run the modified command to create the `ubuntu.yaml` file.
