A tool to use AWS IAM credentials to authenticate to a Kubernetes cluster. A tool to use AWS IAM credentials to authenticate to a Kubernetes cluster. The initial work on this tool was driven by Heptio. The project receives contributions from multiple community engineers and is currently maintained by Heptio and Amazon EKS OSS Engineers. If you are an administrator running a Kubernetes cluster on AWS, you already need to manage AWS IAM credentials to provision and update the cluster. By using AWS IAM Authenticator for Kubernetes, you avoid having to manage a separate credential for Kubernetes access. AWS IAM also provides a number of nice properties such as an out-of-band audit trail (via CloudTrail) and 2FA/MFA enforcement.
