The following steps require the use of [Amazon Web Services (AWS) CLI](https://AWS.amazon.com/cli/).

- There are various methods of logging into the AWS CLI, such as using a SSO login to your AWS [_named profile_](https://docs.AWS.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html):

>```bash
>AWS sso login --profile <profile>
>```

- Once you've logged in, set your Kubernetes context by running the following command:

>```bash
>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).
