Connect to AWS Kubernetes Cluster

 To obtain the kubeconfig file for your Kubernetes cluster on Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). Here are the steps:

  1. Install the AWS CLI: If you haven't already installed the AWS CLI, you can follow the instructions provided in the official AWS CLI User Guide: Installing the AWS CLI

  2. Configure AWS CLI: Run the following command to configure the AWS CLI with your AWS access key, secret key, region, and output format:

    aws configure
     

    Obtain kubeconfig: Use the update-kubeconfig command to create or update the kubeconfig file for your EKS cluster. Replace <cluster-name> with the name of your EKS cluster and <region> with your AWS region.

     aws eks --region <region> update-kubeconfig --name <cluster-name>

     For example:

    aws eks --region us-west-2 update-kubeconfig --name my-eks-cluster

     

    This command downloads the kubeconfig file and updates your local kubeconfig file. The kubeconfig file is typically located in the ~/.kube/ directory and is named config.

    Verify Connection: After obtaining the kubeconfig, you can verify the connection to your EKS cluster by running a simple kubectl command:

     

    kubectl get nodes

     

    This command should return a list of nodes in your EKS cluster, confirming that your kubectl is correctly configured to communicate with your EKS cluster.

    That's it! You should now have the kubeconfig file configured to interact with your EKS cluster. If you encounter any issues, ensure that your AWS CLI is properly configured and that your IAM user or role has the necessary permissions to access the EKS cluster. Additionally, make sure that the AWS CLI version is up-to-date and compatible with your EKS cluster version.

 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Various option in building a Kubernetes cluster .  There a lot of ways to setup Kubernetes We can setup locally on our laptops or on virtual machines using solutions like Minicube, or Micro k8s,  The kubeadm tool is used to Bootstrap and manage production grade kubernetes clusters . There are also hosted solutions for Kubernetes cluster . In the cloud environment   We also have a demo of provisioning kubernetes cluster on GCP . So you may really follow any of these approaches. As part of this course we give you a real Kubernetes cluster right in your browser with a click of a button without having to  set anything up. We will use the Mini-Kube option which is the easiest way to get started with the Kubernetes system . Before we head to the demo , it is a good understand how it works , earlier we spoke abou...

 ctr | nerctl | crictl  What are these cli tools and which one should you be using.  Kubernetes Introduced something called Container run time interface - CRI   CRI Allowed any vendor to work as a container run time from kubernetes as long as they followed the standard as long as they adhered to the OCI standards.  OCI : Stands for Open Container Initiative   It consists of a image spec and a run time spec Image Spec : Is how an image should be built Runtime Spec : specified how a run time should be developed Keeping these standards in mind any one can build a run time . Therefore RKT and Container run time adhered to the OCI standards and were then supported as container run time for kubernetes via the CRI However Docker wasnt build to support the CRI standards . Docker was build way before CRI was introduced and Docker still was the dominant container tool used by most so Kubernetes had to continue to support docker as well . Therefore kubernetes in...
