<@UBAJ7TD53> I need a `getCluster` function that provides the kubeconfig. which repo should I file the issue under?

<@UD2HJDBCL> hmm not sure what you mean.. can’t you do something like:

```
// Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("cluster");

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
```

I think what <@UD2HJDBCL> means is something similar to this <https://gist.github.com/geekflyer/b78adab2667d8526a1dd593bc5c844bf#file-gke-ts-L33-L66> to be made part of the eks package. I actually thought along the same lines for the gcp package.

<@UBAJ7TD53> the eks cluster is created outside of pulumi

<@UCPSHLVC4> yup. I think AWS has an API call that will output the config for you, so you wouldn't even have to do much

<@UD2HJDBCL> i don’t see getting the kubectl config from either terraform or AWS’s API directly (checked the docs). Where do you get that info from? That being said i think pulumi could add it anyways.

<https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/eks/update-kubeconfig.html>

yep looks like, this is similar to `gcloud container clusters get-credentials` which generates a kubectl config but is also only part of the CLI

So pretty much exactly your gist <@UCPSHLVC4>

<@UD2HJDBCL> ah. Got it. Can you file it against EKS repo itself?

I like this idea. In fact, it would be nice to try to achieve this for all flavors of hosted clusters. We had to do something dubious and questionable for GKE: <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/0cd79d7c10bd5198f13326d2660d84fbd60fa5ed/gcp-ts-gke/cluster.ts#L27>
