List EKS resources

[brunomiranda-hotmart]

Is it possible to list eks cluster resources?

I want to do the same as kubectl get pod --all-namespaces, or even if it needs namespaces.
But I can't seem to find any information/method that list stuff other than tags.

Hi @brunomiranda-hotmart,

Im not super familiar with kubectl, but to list all the clusters you can use the following code:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/eks"
)

func main() {
	sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
		Region: aws.String("us-east-1"),
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	client := eks.New(sess)

	out, err := client.ListClusters(&eks.ListClustersInput{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("there are %v clusters", len(out.Clusters))
}

// Output:
//there are 1 clusters

Let me know if this helps,
Thanks,
Ran~

Hello @RanVaknin ,
thanks for the reply, however that doesn't help me :(

This is listing the clusters, I would like to list the resources inside the cluster.
Resources like namespaces, pods, deployments.

Hi @brunomiranda-hotmart ,

Based on this doc, it is not possible to get resource information using the SDK.

You can view the Kubernetes resources deployed to your cluster with the AWS Management Console. You can't view Kubernetes resources with the AWS CLI or eksctl. To view Kubernetes resources using a command-line tool, use kubectl.

For all intents and purposes the CLI and SDK work the same way, both auto-generated from the EKS API model. Since the EKS API does not have an operation to view resources on a cluster, it will not be available on the SDK.

There's DescribeCluster but I don't think this will get you what you are looking for.

Let me know if theres anything else I can do to help.

Thanks,
Ran~

Hi @RanVaknin , thanks for the response.

I was searching for libs that could help me handle k8s resources and thought this could help.
Found the k8s go client (k8s.io/client-go).
