fernandorejonbarrera/eks-kubectl repository overview

⁠Amazon EKS kubectl

This is a convenient docker image that contains:

• kubectl (v1.17.3)
• aws-iam-authenticator (v0.4.0)
• kustomize (v3.5.4)
• AWS CLI (v1.16.213)

The default entrypoint for this container, is a small wrapper script for kubectl that automatically populates a ~/.kube/config with the correct EKS cluster details (endpoint, certificate authority).

⁠Usage

⁠With AWS credentials

You can provide AWS credentials directly by providing environment variables to docker and passing the cluster name

docker run -e CLUSTER=demo -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<REGION> \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<ACCESS_KEY_ID> -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<SECRET_KEY> \
    fernandorejonbarrera/eks-kubectl:v1.0.0 kubectl get pods

⁠Without credentials

In case the container is running in k8s and you're using a serviceAccount for the pod, then you don't need to pass the CLUSTER env variable nor the AWS secrets.
