# VSCode Bridge to (EKS) kubernetes

Getting [bridge to kubernetes to work](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/bridge/overview-bridge-to-kubernetes) with AWS's EKS needs some fussin'.

If you are authorized via SSO, managed by [aws-vault](https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault) this should help.

You need to have the `aws-vault exec <profile>` loaded before running `k-creds`. Relevant AWS environment variables are written to `~/.envs_temp` which is rigged to be automatically loaded in new (ZSH) shells' that will be available to VSCode.

You should now be able to see nodes in your cluster.

```bash
function k-creds () {                                                                                                                                                            
    RC_FILE="${RC_FILE:-~/.zshrc}"                                                                                                                                                
    DEV_PROFILE="${DEV_PROFILE:-dev-profile}"                                                                                                                             
   
    # load                                                                                                                                                                           
    grep -q envs_temp $RC_FILE || (echo "[ -f ~/.envs_temp ] && source ~/.envs_temp" >> $RC_FILE; echo "Updated $RC_FILE")
    aws-vault export $DEV_PROFILE | sed 's/^/export /' > ~/.envs_temp && echo "Got AWS '$DEV_PROFILE' credentials, please restart vs-code"                                     
}
```
