This assumes you have downloaded and installed the eksctl CLI. If not, check out my article download the eksctl CLI.

Both the AWS CLI and the eksctl CLI can be used to list your Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Clusters.

• aws eks list-clusters
• eksctl get clusters (this article)

The eksctl get clusters command can be used to list your Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Clusters.

~]$ eksctl get clusters
NAME                REGION          EKSCTL CREATED
my-cluster-1        us-east-1       True
my-cluster-2        us-east-1       False

This will use the default profile in your hidden AWS credentials file (e.g. /home/john.doe/.aws/credentials). For example, if your hidden AWS credentials file has the following, the default credential would be used.

~]$ cat /home/john.doe/.aws/credentials 
[default]
aws_secret_access_key = ABCDEFG123456789ABCDEFG123456789ABCDEFG12
aws_access_key_id = ABCDEFG123456789ABCD

Or, the --profile flag could be used to use some other profile in your hidden AWS credentials file.

~]$ eksctl get clusters --profile johndoe
NAME                REGION          EKSCTL CREATED
my-cluster-1        us-east-1       True
my-cluster-2        us-east-1       False
