Notes

update ~/.kube/config for given cluster name

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name ${cluster_name}

Command will create a POD called load-generator at the cluster using the busybox image and would provide us with a bash terminal from the POD container.

kubectl run -i --tty load-generator --image=busybox /bin/sh

Do a curl or something more fun from the created pod.

Start kubernetes cluster proxy

kubectl proxy --port=8080

When the proxy server is running, we can interact with the cluster API curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods
