It shouldn't throw an error
Current Behavior
It is throwing the below error

Argument of type 'undefined' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Construct'.ts
Reproduction Steps
If I run the mentioned TS file with the current package.json file in Visual Studio Code, I'm getting error

@raikarjayani the cluster needs to be created in the Stack scope. Like this:
Import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import * as eks from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-eks';
import * as ec2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2';
export class AwsCdkStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);
	const newCluster = new eks.Cluster(this, 'Dbaas-eks-cluster_cdk', {
		version: eks.KubernetesVersion.V1_21,
		defaultCapacity: 5,
		defaultCapacityInstance: ec2.InstanceType.of(ec2.InstanceClass.M5, ec2.InstanceSize.SMALL),
	});
