I'm trying to create a cluster via eksctl, using defaults options, and AMI user with "AdministratorAccess", I get stuck at "waiting for CloudFormation stack"
> eksctl create cluster --name dev

I have tried different regions, ran into the same issue.
It takes almost 20 minutes to create the stacks in Cloudformation. When you create the cluster, check the progress of the stack in Cloudformation console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home.
