RegisterCluster - Amazon EKS
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

RegisterCluster

Connects a Kubernetes cluster to the Amazon EKS control plane.

Any Kubernetes cluster can be connected to the Amazon EKS control plane to view current information about the cluster and its nodes.

Cluster connection requires two steps. First, send a RegisterClusterRequest to add it to the Amazon EKS control plane.

Second, a Manifest containing the activationID and activationCode must be applied to the Kubernetes cluster through it's native provider to provide visibility.

After the manifest is updated and applied, the connected cluster is visible to the Amazon EKS control plane. If the manifest isn't applied within three days, the connected cluster will no longer be visible and must be deregistered using DeregisterCluster.

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

cluster

An object representing an Amazon EKS cluster.

Type: Cluster object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

AccessDeniedException

You don't have permissions to perform the requested operation. The IAM principal making the request must have at least one IAM permissions policy attached that grants the required permissions. For more information, see Access management in the IAM User Guide.

HTTP Status Code: 403

ClientException

These errors are usually caused by a client action. Actions can include using an action or resource on behalf of an IAM principal that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource or specifying an identifier that is not valid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidParameterException

The specified parameter is invalid. Review the available parameters for the API request.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceInUseException

The specified resource is in use.

HTTP Status Code: 409

ResourceLimitExceededException

You have encountered a service limit on the specified resource.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourcePropagationDelayException

Required resources (such as service-linked roles) were created and are still propagating. Retry later.

HTTP Status Code: 428

ServerException

These errors are usually caused by a server-side issue.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ServiceUnavailableException

The service is unavailable. Back off and retry the operation.

HTTP Status Code: 503

Examples

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an Amazon Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon EKS General Reference.

You need to learn how to sign HTTP requests only if you intend to manually create them. When you use the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or one of the Amazon SDKs to make requests to Amazon, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.

Example

The following example connects a Kubernetes cluster named my-api-created-external-cluster.
