I can not perform any kubectl commands. It states that it can not connect to the eks cluster.

I look at my /.kube/config file and notice that my "user:" and "name:" are the same as the cluster name. I assume that is what the problem is.

Note that this is in a Fargate container. I did not set it up, I am just trying to figure out why it can not connect and am fairly new to Kubernetes.

What initially populates those fields? The code does perform a AWS STS assume-role in the container before it tries to use kubectl. Can I get all these fields from the STS assume command?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
