Options

--cluster-name (string) Specify the name of the Amazon EKS cluster to create a token for. (Note: for local clusters on AWS Outposts, please use –cluster-id parameter)

--role-arn (string) Assume this role for credentials when signing the token. Use this optional parameter when the credentials for signing the token differ from that of the current role session. Using this parameter results in new role session credentials that are used to sign the token.

--cluster-id (string) Specify the id of the Amazon EKS cluster to create a token for. (Note: for local clusters on AWS Outposts only)

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table
• yaml
• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64
• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: Get an authentication token for an Amazon EKS Cluster named `my-eks-cluster`

The following get-token example gets an authentication token for an Amazon EKS Cluster named my-eks-cluster.

aws eks get-token \
    --cluster-name my-eks-cluster

Output:

{
    "kind": "ExecCredential",
    "apiVersion": "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1",
    "spec": {},
    "status": {
        "expirationTimestamp": "2024-04-11T20:59:56Z",
        "token": "k8s-aws-v1.EXAMPLE_TOKEN_DATA_STRING..."
    }
}

Example 2: Gets an authentication token for an Amazon EKS Cluster named `my-eks-cluster` by assuming this roleARN for credentials when signing the token

The following get-token example gets an authentication token for an Amazon EKS Cluster named my-eks-cluster by assuming this roleARN for credentials when signing the token.

aws eks get-token \
    --cluster-name my-eks-cluster \
    --role-arn arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/eksctl-EKS-Linux-Cluster-v1-24-cluster-ServiceRole-j1k7AfTIQtnM

Output:

{
    "kind": "ExecCredential",
    "apiVersion": "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1",
    "spec": {},
    "status": {
        "expirationTimestamp": "2024-04-11T21:05:26Z",
        "token": "k8s-aws-v1.EXAMPLE_TOKEN_DATA_STRING..."
    }
}
