Access to private EKS API service by AWS Private Link

Question

Hi folks,

I try to connect to EKS private cluster API from EC2 (by kubectl command) by AWS Private Link

What I have:
1. VPC network with EC2.
2. different VPC network with EKS private cluster.
 
My goal:

Run kubectl command to the EKS Api server (e.g. kubectl get pods -A) from the EC2 VPC by VPC endpoint connection

Any Ideas? suggestion?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi TomrH,

Have you reviewed the documentation around setting this up? Let me know if you have any questions around this but simple answer is yes you can do this through PrivateLink, you will need to ensure you have proper permissions and certificates to hit the APIs.
