Not able to create more that 7 worker nodes using kops in AWS educate account

Question

Whenever i try to increase minSize above 7 in the nodes instance group i get the following status in autoscaling groups activity panel.

Cancelled- Launching a new EC2 instance: i-0a142b29de1102e66. Status Reason: Instance became unhealthy while waiting for instance to be in InService state. Termination Reason: Client.UserInitiatedShutdown: User initiated shutdown

How can i set up a cluster of more than 10 worker nodes?

The AWS Educate Starter account is very limited. The current, non-exhoustive list of the limitations is in:

• AWS Services Supported with AWS Educate Starter Account

Probably you are hitting one of these limits.
