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).
