[EKS Controller] Generate a secret with kubeconfig

[braghettos]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I'm currently leveraging the eks-controller to create an EKS cluster within a pipeline. I need to generate the kubeconfig to deploy further components on the fresh-baked cluster.

Describe the solution you'd like
Once the EKS is provisioned, I would like to find the kubeconfig stored in a secret.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Leveraging AWS CLI, but that's a different approach instead of just using controller: why do I need controllers if the AWS CLI would still be required?

@braghettos Hi! Fair enough. But why not to leverage the addons feature of EKS? In such a way you can install fluxcd and then set up remote repo from which with GitOps approach you would be able to bootstrap the contents of your cluster...

Once the EKS is provisioned, I would like to find the kubeconfig stored in a secret.

any way you would need an AWS CLI in the pod where you want to use kubeconfig... it is how amazon works... or create a SA in k8s + token + embed them into a custom kubeconfig file...

Hi @gecube ! If I use ArgoCD as an addon, then how should I configure it to fetch a remote repo?

@braghettos no idea, it should be somehow passed as arguments for the argocd.

I am referring to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/community-addons.html It should be official way to extend EKS, as I believe.
