This section explains how to configure access to an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster, using the AWS CLI and kubectl

Note: It is important that the operator version is updated to the latest version. The command to update the operator version is: ./discli agent applyOperatorVersion —version=<latest version>. After this, you can manually update the other services on the agent.

Prerequisites:

Before you begin, ensure the following:

  • You have valid AWS access credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key).

  • You have permission to access the target EKS cluster.

  • kubectl is installed on your local machine.

Steps to configure EKS cluster access setup:

  1. If the AWS CLI is not already installed, install it using the official AWS instructions appropriate for your operating system.
  2. Run the aws configure command and provide your AWS credentials when prompted. This sets up your AWS access key, secret key, default region, and output format.
  3. List the EKS clusters available in your AWS account using aws eks list-clusters command. Confirm that your target cluster (for example, <your-cluster-name>) appears in the output.
  4. Configure your local kubeconfig file to connect to the EKS cluster using aws eks update-kubeconfig --name --region us-east-2 command. This updates (or creates) the kubeconfig entry required for kubectl to communicate with the cluster.

  5. Once the kubeconfig is updated, verify connectivity by running any of the following commands:

    kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods -A

    Successful output confirms that your local environment is connected to the EKS cluster.

  6. To view all configured Kubernetes contexts:
    kubectl config get-contexts
  7. To switch to a specific cluster context:
    kubectl config use-context <cluster-name-from-above-command>

You can now execute kubectl commands against the specified EKS cluster. After verifying cluster connectivity, return to Install and Download Agent to proceed with the installation.
