AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 139

A SysOps administrator creates an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster that uses AWS Fargate. The cluster is deployed successfully. The SysOps administrator needs to manage the cluster by using the kubectl command line tool.

Which of the following must be configured on the SysOps administrator’s machine so that kubectl can communicate with the cluster API server?

Answer options

• A. The kubeconfig file
• B. The kube-proxy Amazon EKS add-on
• C. The Fargate profile
• D. The eks-connector.yaml file

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The kubeconfig file contains the necessary configuration details for kubectl to connect to the cluster API server, making option A the correct answer. The kube-proxy add-on (option B) is used for networking within the cluster, while the Fargate profile (option C) specifies how Fargate runs pods but does not affect kubectl communication. The eks-connector.yaml file (option D) is not relevant for this setup.
