Automate AWS,GCP Kubernetes Context Setup
In my current organization, I wrote a helper script long back to organize and set up Kubernetes contexts across multiple GCP projects and environments, with custom naming based on cluster labels. I also created another script to handle all EKS clusters across AWS regions using a specified AWS SSO profile.
Wanting to make these scripts more flexible and reusable anywhere, I decided to spend my weekend to improve them so they could be used by anywhere by anyone (psst...tbh ME).
How I Use It:
Store the scripts in the /usr/local/bin/ directory with executable permissions:
- /usr/local/bin/set_aws_context
- /usr/local/bin/set_gcp_context
Simply run the script via the command line to set up the contexts. For AWS, first configure your SSO profile with aws configure sso, follow the prompts, and run aws sso login --profile
Managing multiple clusters becomes much easier as products scale, and having these scripts is a huge time-saver I feel. I even integrated them into my dotfiles to never really think about it.
$ set_gcp_context
$ set_aws_context
