Can anyone point me to docs which explains how to create a provider object from an eks cluster which I can pass around to create my k8s resources in golang? Googling gives me outdated examples (v2 vs v3) and the pulumi doc site doesn’t seem to provide the import statements for the code snippets. Thanks!

Try this, it’s some code I got from @billowy-army-68599 to do exactly what you’re describing. I haven’t tested it, but it should work. I believe it’s intended to be used with our EKS component:

// Save a kube provider for later use
kubeconfig := cluster.Kubeconfig.ApplyT(func(k interface{}) (string, error) {
	data, err := json.Marshal(k)
	if err != nil {
		return "", fmt.Errorf("kubeconfig is not a string")
	}
	return string(data), nil
}).(pulumi.StringOutput)

kubeProvider, err := kubernetes.NewProvider(ctx, awsCluster.Name, &kubernetes.ProviderArgs{
	Kubeconfig: kubeconfig,
})

That’s really helpful, thanks! One question though, where is

awsCluster

coming from? I see you reference

cluster

and

awsCluster

. Are they are the same cluster object being created with

newCluster

?

Yeah, that’s probably a bug. 🐛 AIUI, you should be referencing the same cluster object in both places.

Oh it may not matter since

awsCluster.Name

is just the provider name. I can hard code that to a string. Thanks!

That sounds like a bug, please file an issue (if you don’t mind)
