Set AWS EKS kubeconfig

$ aws eks update-kubeconfig --region ${region} --name ${cluster} --alias ${alias}

try on your machine

This command is used to update the kubeconfig file for an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster in the specified region.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

aws eks: This command is the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) command for managing Amazon EKS clusters.
update-kubeconfig: This is the action or subcommand to update the kubeconfig file.
--region ${region}: This flag specifies the AWS region where the EKS cluster is located. ${region} is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual region name, such as us-west-2 or eu-central-1.
--name ${cluster}: This flag specifies the name of the EKS cluster to update the kubeconfig for. ${cluster} is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual cluster name.
--alias ${alias}: This flag specifies an alias for the EKS cluster in the kubeconfig file. ${alias} is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the desired alias.

By running this command with the appropriate values for region, cluster, and alias, the kubeconfig file for the specified EKS cluster will be updated, allowing you to access and interact with the cluster using tools like kubectl.
