  1. Run this command to display the command line options

    kubectl

  2. Run this command to configure kubectl to connect to the cluster

    aws eks update-kubeconfig --name $(aws eks list-clusters | jq -r .clusters[0])

  3. Verify you are connected. You should see dynatrace-workshop as part of the output.

    kubectl config current-context

    The output should look something like this:

    [user-info]@dynatrace-workshop.us-west-2.eksctl.io

  4. List the nodes in the cluster

    kubectl get nodes

    The output should look like this:

    NAME                                           STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
ip-192-168-31-207.us-west-2.compute.internal   Ready    <none>   5d23h   v1.21.2-eks-c1718fb
ip-192-168-86-194.us-west-2.compute.internal   Ready    <none>   5d23h   v1.21.2-eks-c1718fb
