hi there,

hope you can help me, can't find how to authenticate to an eks cluster and list all pods in a namespace?

I'm not sure I understood your question correctly. Are you asking how to authenticate the SDK inside of an EKS cluster? If so, it should work by default, but you may need to adjust the IMDS token hop limit on the Docker container's config. See #760 and #540 for details.

hey, thanks for your quick reply. What I would like to do is :

1. I have an eks cluster created
2. I want to connect to that cluster using rust lib from a lambda function
3. Then I want to talk to the kubernetes api via github.com/kube-rs/kube

I don't see an example how to authenticate to a cluster like you do using sigv4 or aws eks --update-kubeconfig is there a sample you can refer?

Regards,
Julio
