aws-iam-authenticator

is (I believe) deprecated. You can build a Pulumi provider from our EKS module pretty easily - which language SDK are you uisng?

my EKS cluster is managed by Terraform right now 😕 I'm using TS

are you trying to rebuild the components from terraform?

https://registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws/latest?tab=outputs The kubeconfig from that module uses aws-iam-authenticator, which is frankly annoying.

do you have an existing

kubeconfig

you want to use?

No. I used the

kubeconfig

output from that Terraform module but I don't even use that within Terraform (I used what I posted in the initial message) in the TF Kubernetes provider

i'm assuming here you want to use the existing cluster defined in terraform and then create a Pulumi provider to create Kubernetes resources, in which case, you have 2 options: run

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name <your cluster name> --kubeconfig /tmp/kube

which will generate you a kubeconfig you can use pulumi-terraform to grab the outputs and build the provider manually like you do in terraform

you can use pulumi-terraform to grab the outputs and build the provider manually like you do in terraform

This is exactly what I would like to do

it doesn't, we don't build our Kubernetes provider from the terraform one, you'll need to generate a kubeconfig somehow

I don't think the aws-iam-authenticator is deprecated: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-iam-authenticator (but man, it should never has existed...)

if you run

aws eks get-kubeconfig

it'll get you a valid kubernetes kubeconfig which you can pass to Pulumi, I would highly recommend that approach

Yeah that's what I'll do. I was hoping to reduce the number of external dependencies (since

aws eks update-kubeconfig

requires

kubectl

) Cheers 🙂
