Get AWS and EKS access¶

Log into the AWS web console at https://805397179152.signin.aws.amazon.com/console . When logged in, check the correct region is selected.
Configure AWS CLI with the access details on your desk. When asked for a default output format, you probably want "table". Detailed docs for reference.
```
aws configure --profile scale
```
Use that new AWS profile
```
export AWS_PROFILE=scale
```
Clear any previous AWS overrides
```
env | grep 'AWS_'
unset AWS_FOO
```

Check AWS CLI is configured corectly

aws iam get-user --output json | jq -r '.User.UserName'

Find your cluster. Your cluster name is based on your user name, you just need to find the suffix
```
aws eks list-clusters
```

Generate a kubeconfig for it

aws eks update-kubeconfig --kubeconfig kubeconfig-scale.yaml --name <cluster-name>

Use that kubeconfig file

export KUBECONFIG="$(pwd)"/kubeconfig-scale.yaml
