Hi vfarcic, this link was changed again? curl -fsSL https://karpenter.sh/v0.16.2/getting-started/getting-started-with-eksctl/cloudformation.yaml | tee karpenter.yaml

@TonyMarzano I hate when projects do that. It costs nothing to keep old links available.

Anyways... Thanks for letting me know. The Gist was updated. Please let me know if you encounter any other issues.
