Step 1 - Set your Kubernetes context to EKS
The following steps require the use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) CLI.
- There are various methods of logging into the AWS CLI, such as using a SSO login to your AWS named profile:
AWS sso login --profile <profile>
- Once you've logged in, set your Kubernetes context by running the following command:
aws eks update-kubeconfig --region \<region\> --name \<eks_cluster_name\> --profile \<profile\>
Note : ensure that you replace <region> and <eks_cluster_name> with the corresponding AWS region (e.g. eu-west-1) and the name of your EKS cluster.
You have now merged your EKS settings into your Kubernetes configuration files (typically stored in the ~/.kube/config file).
