I'm currently using Kubernetes Client Plugin in Jenkins but still it's confusing to configure, because it looks for Kubernetes config, and those credetials are not available even I configured them in the credentials section.
Please see the screenshot below for my credentials which are configure in my Jenkins.
When I do try to add those credentials from Jenkins side, which is not listed under the Kubernetes credentials. The red colored are has no kist of my credentials.
How can I configure this Kubernetes plugin in Jenkins ? or any other alternative methods to configure Jenkins + Amazon EKS ?
Thanks.

To reproduce your issue I have installed EKS using Deploying a Kubernetes Cluster with Amazon EKS article.
After adding worker nodes next steps were performed:
1) install helm
2) install jenkins from stable/jenkins chart.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get | bash
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
helm init --service-account tiller
helm search jenkins
helm install stable/jenkins --name myjenkins
If you want to change any parameters before deploying helm chart, you can first download and edit values.
helm inspect values stable/jenkins > /tmp/jenkins.values
helm install stable/jenkins --values /tmp/stable_jenkins.values --name myjenkins
Wait until everything will be deployed, you can check via watch kubectl get all --all-namespaces
kubectl get all --all-namespaces

Next
1. Get your 'admin' user password by running:
printf $(kubectl get secret --namespace default myjenkins -o jsonpath="{.data.jenkins-admin-password}" | base64 --decode);echo
2. Get the Jenkins URL to visit by running these commands in the same shell:
NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the LoadBalancer IP to be available.
You can watch the status of by running 'kubectl get svc --namespace default -w myjenkins'
export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc --namespace default myjenkins --template "{{ range (index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0) }}{{ . }}{{ end }}")
echo http://$SERVICE_IP:8080/login
3. Login with the password from step 1 and the username: admin
Open browser, login and go to "Manage Jenkins"-->"Configure System"--> Cloud Section
Click Add - Jenkins
Next chose "Secret Text" in drop down menu left to Add button, Test connection, apply and save.
-Check again "Manage Jenkins"-->"Configure System"--> Cloud Section
Hope it helps...
