I get the following warning/message when I run some k8s related commands

Kubeconfig user entry is using deprecated API version client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1. Run 'aws eks update-kubeconfig' to update

and then I know I should run the command like so:

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name cluster_name --dry-run

I think the potential change will be client-side only and will not cause any change on the server side - the actual cluster. I just wanted some verification of this, or otherwise. Many thanks

CodePudding user response：

Yes, update-kubeconfig does not make any changes to the cluster. It will only update your local .kube/config file with the cluster info. Note that with the --dry-run flag, no change will be made at all - the resulting configuration will just be printed to stdout.
