atmos aws eks update-kubeconfig [options]

This command executes aws eks update-kubeconfig command to download kubeconfig from an EKS cluster and saves it to a file.

The command can execute aws eks update-kubeconfig in three different ways:

1. If all the required parameters (cluster name and AWS profile/role) are provided on the command-line, then Atmos executes the command without requiring the atmos.yaml CLI config and context.

For example:

atmos aws eks update-kubeconfig --profile=<profile> --name=<cluster_name>

1. If component and stack are provided on the command-line, then Atmos executes the command using the atmos.yaml CLI config and stack's context by searching for the following settings:

• components.helmfile.cluster_name_pattern in the atmos.yaml CLI config (and calculates the --name parameter using the pattern)
• components.helmfile.helm_aws_profile_pattern in the atmos.yaml CLI config (and calculates the --profile parameter using the pattern)
• components.helmfile.kubeconfig_path in the atmos.yaml CLI config the variables for the component in the provided stack
• region from the variables for the component in the stack

For example:

atmos aws eks update-kubeconfig <component> -s <stack>

1. Combination of the above. Provide a component and a stack, and override other parameters on the command line.

For example:

atmos aws eks update-kubeconfig <component> -s <stack> --kubeconfig=<path_to_kubeconfig> --region=us-east-1
