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).
