Step-01-03: Configure AWS Command Line using Security Credentials
- Go to AWS Management Console –> Services –> IAM
- Select the IAM User: kalyan
- Important Note: Use only IAM user to generate Security Credentials. Never ever use Root User. (Highly not recommended)
- Click on Security credentials tab
- Click on Create access key
- Copy Access ID and Secret access key
- Go to command line and provide the required details

Step-02: Install kubectl CLI
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Kubectl binaries for EKS please prefer to use from Amazon (Amazon EKS-vended kubectl binary)
- This will help us to get the exact Kubectl client version based on our EKS Cluster version. You can use the below documentation link to download the binary.
- Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-kubectl.html
Step-02-01: MAC – Install and configure kubectl
- Kubectl version we are using here is 1.16.8 (It may vary based on Cluster version you are planning use in AWS EKS)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
# Download the Package mkdir kubectlbinary cd kubectlbinary curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.16.8/2020-04-16/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl # Provide execute permissions chmod +x ./kubectl # Set the Path by copying to user Home Directory mkdir -p $HOME/bin && cp ./kubectl $HOME/bin/kubectl && export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile # Verify the kubectl version kubectl version --short --client Output: Client Version: v1.16.8-eks-e16311 |
Step-02-02: Windows 10 – Install and configure kubectl
- Install kubectl on Windows 10
1 2 3 4 |
mkdir kubectlbinary cd kubectlbinary curl -o kubectl.exe https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.16.8/2020-04-16/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe |
- Update the system Path environment variable
1 2 |
C:UsersKALYANDocumentskubectlbinary |
- Verify the kubectl client version
1 2 3 |
kubectl version --short --client kubectl version --client |
Step-03: Install eksctl CLI
Step-03-01: eksctl on Mac
