Dashboard

Creating and connecting to the kubernetes dashboard on AWS EKS

Dashboard

AWS doesn't have a managed dashboard and does not automatically deploy the open source version for you. Follow this guide to deploy it to your cluster.

Connect to the dashboard

kubectl -n kube-system describe secret \
    $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret \
    | grep eks-admin \
    | awk '{print $1}')
